SEWARD. ALASKA, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1016.
Perhaps the most remarkable personality connected with the recent Irish
uprising in some respects was young Joseph Plunkett, one ot the men shot
to death after surrender. He is the man who got married after sentence of
cleath had been passed and just a short time before he faced the firing squad.
Later accounts say that he and his bride were permitted to be alone together
a few hours before he went to his doom. She is the daughter of one of the
leading lawyers of Dublin and her sister was the wife of Ihomas McDonagh
who was also executed. McDonagh was a successful playwright anil Joe
Plunkett was the son of Count Plunkett. Curator of the Academy or Sciences.
But the most remarkable fact about Joseph Plunkett, perhaps, is that he
is the eighth member of his family to face the executioner. His direct an
cestor, Archbishop Plunkett of Dublin, died on the scaffold early in the
seventeenth century.
It is difficult for prosaic people to understand how a man like that can
live in those calculating years of ours. Pearse, the man who was called
president of the Irish Republic, taught m his philosophy all his life that
death was nothing but a great adventure. He always declared that a man
should mount the gibbet with a feeling of ecstasy rather than gloom. All
of these facts probably show why men can launch themselves on an ad venturi'
which has very little hope of any culmination but death for themselves.
They show how a man can ask to be married to a woman he loves while his |
grave is being dug and the executioners are loading their guns.
It is certainly worth a study. Most of those men, from Sir Roger Case
ment and the son of Count Plunkett and Countess Markievitch, sister of a
baronet, to James Connolly, the socialist, had successful careers ahead of
them if they had concentrated their thoughts on themselves. And still we
sometimes believe that the world has become materialized and commercial
ized. It is just the same old world as it was in the time of Bayard.
STORY OF THE GREAT
PREPAREDNESS PARADE
(Special to Gateway by United Press*
NEW YORK, May 13.—Beginning
at 9:30 this morning ami ending at
ten o’clock tonight, New Y ork today ii
staging one of the most extraordinary
parades in history.
Between the hours named, 150,000
business and professional men and
women are marching in a parade to
show their interest and to stir up the
interest of New Yorkers in better
military, naval and industrial prepar
edness in this country. From the
time the first delegation of marchers
is sent on its way at 9:30 until the
National Guardsmen complete their
march at 10 o’clock at night, marchers
will be on the streets, the different
delegations being sent at intervals.
Representatives of sixty-six trades i
and professions will be in the parade. (
Roger W. Allen, the secretary of the
committee, estimates that there will
be at least 25,000 women in line. The
women parade in the evning, Calcium
lights will be used from the tops of
buildings along the line of march to
light up the way for the women and
soldiers.
Colonel Charles H. Sherrill, form
erly United States Minister to the
Argentine Republic, is the Grand
Marshal, with Major Alfred R.
Whitney as Chief of Staff, and Colonel
Arthur F. Schermerhorn and Captain
Latham G. Reed as chief of aids.
, The program calls for the passing
of 11,000 marchers by a given point
every hour of *he ten. Electric light
corporations will add to the illumina
tions of Fifth Avenue by ti*e installa
tion of powerful searchlights at short
intervals.
The National Guard will be the only
marchers in uniform. No signs or
banners other than to designate the
various divisions arc permittci
Only twj vehicles will be in line.
These will head the parade. One will
be occupied by Mayor Mitch el aud the
other by Major Con. Wood, command
ing tho Department of the East of
tho United States army.
The line of march Is from Bowling
Green up Broadway and Fifth Ave.
to Fortieth Street.
Sixteen hundred women will sit fori
preparedness. The twenty thousand
marchers will represent working1
women, professional and women of
leisure, such as Mrs. Charles B. Alex
ander, Bra. Bor<len Harriman and de
butantes and young matrons.
The sixteen hundred who will sit
are mostly members of the prepared
ness section of the National Civic
Federation. This section took a vote
on tho question of marching and Miss
Anne Morgan, Mrs. Lindon Bates,
Miss Maude Wetmore and all the of
ficers save one were against it. They
said there wasn’t time to get out a
representative division and they could
make a much more impressive show
ing by building a stand and watching
the parade.
Col. Charles H. Sherrill never
thought of asking the women. But a
young bride, whose husband was at
Plattsburg, went to Col. Sherrill about
it, and he told her that if she could
pledge 200 women to go ahead. The
next day she was back with 200
names.
Col. Sherrill put the women off to
the very end of the day. The first
feminine section will leave Washing
ton Square at 6 p. m. From then
until 8 they will swing out from the
arch in sections at intervals of ten
minutes apart. The late hour is a
good thing for the working women
who want to march.
Financial and business interests in
lower Manhattan contributed 7,000
marchers.
Five bands of forty pieces each
have already been engaged.
Members of the Cotton, Produce
and Coffee exchanges also are largely
represented. Precedent was disre
garded and the high hat was thrown
into the discard as a distinguishing
mark for public officials when the
Board of Aldermen decided to march
in a body wearing derbies.
