ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION | | | | | KEEPING GLACIER HIGHWAY OPEN. | The decision of the Bureau of Public Roads to| keep Glacier Highway open during the coming wln-} ter will be hailed with glee by those who live along | it and by those in Juneau who furnish them with! their supplies. It is true, as Mr. Wwilliams said, settlement has made it almost imperative that the road be kept open for winter traffic. Fur Iflrmers,l‘ dairymen and others are located along the road who must be supplied and whose children must attend school if the cost is not prohibitive. | The lack of winter communication has caused people who live on Glacier Highway severe handi- | caps in the past, and there will be thanksgiving | that they are to escape similar experiences in the future. 3 | “TAY PAY” O'CONNOR IS DEAD. : | To those whose menfory runs back a half cen tury it will be difficult to realize that “Tay Pay” | O'Connor is dead or to think of a British Parlia-! ment without him. Had there been more Irishmen of the type of Thomas Power O'Connor back thrcugh the centuries of the Irish question, it is possible that there| would have been no such issue. Certainly, it would not have developed the acuteness that marked it at; frequent intervals. | “Tay Pay,” as he was more familiarly known| to the public, always was a Nationalist—in fact,| the last survivor of the Irish Nationalist Party. But he was not an agitator, nor did. he express hatred for England. Contrariwise, he advocated a better understand- ing between the English and Irish, and with the| establishment of the Irish Free State there came to a reality one of the most cherished dreams of | his long life. Once the treaty was signed, he urged the Irish, particularly those in the United States, to support it. Although a self-exile of Erin who had spent the greater part of his life in England, that fact, if anything, had redoubled his love for| his native land. While the part he played in the long struggle that led to the foundation of the Irish Free State stamped him as one of the great figures in thaf movement, Mr. O'Connor won fame and many honors in other lines of endeavor. Probably next to “Tay Pay,” he was more frequently referred to as the “Father of the House of Commons,” in which he has held a seat since 1880. He was honored by being made a privy councillor and enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most versatile and famous journalists of Europe. When he reached the T75th milestone of life, Mr. O'Connor was feted by some 200 members of the British Parliament, a signal tribute in which every party was represented to do him honor. Since that time the recurring anniversaries of his birth- day had received world-wide recognition, the ven- erable statesman receiving congratulatory messages from rulers, heads of governments and prominent persons from virtually every country in the world. His wide popularity was said to have been due largely to his policy of never permitting political differences to interfere with personal relations. As to his two principal activities in life, he always regarded himself as a journalist first and a poli- tician after. His advancing years did not lesson his love of life and when he was 77 expressed the hope that he would live to be 100, A year before, in 2 message to the youth of England he said: “Life is a great advanture. Live every hour of it. Don't be buried until you are dead.” Mr. O'Conror was born at Athlone, Ireland, Octo- ber 5, 1848, the eldest son of Thomas O'Connor. He was educated at the College of the Immaculate Conception, Athlone, and Queen's College, Galway, where he obtained his master's degree with the high- est honors. He was only 18 when he earned his bachelor of arts degree. Newspaper work beckoned Mr. O'Connor, as it did many of the members of the old Irish Na- tionalist Parliamentary Party, and upon complet- ing his college course he became a cub reporter on the staff of Saunders’s News Letter in Dublin. " Three years later he went to London, where he was :s‘w as sub-editor of Lord Burnham's Tele- Ten years after his arrival in London he was cted to the House of Commons as the member or Galway. On being returned as the member or Galway and Liverpool in 1885, he chose the seat and since then had been sent back § NASRRAAARARAARARARE | Storie: lof Commons requesting him to write the biography |chase liquor should pass it will be a question as to whether those Senators and Representatives whotor trucks and the toy automo- biles aren't nearly so popular as the toy planes which will fly 'round |the room so those proud, snobbish auto toys are quite put in the back- ground, and I'm just where I was all along.” ey raised $475 on his israel! returned to London an M. P. and to pay expenses in London During his career as a journalist Mr. O'Connor had represented American news- papers as correspondent and was publisher of several newspapers which he established. He found-| ed and was the first editor of the Sun, the Star, the Weekly Sun, M. A. P. and T. P.'s Weekly He was a versatile and prolific writer and in addition to his numerous newspaper articles and a large number of essays he was author of “Lord Beaconsfield—A Biography”; “The Parnell Move- ‘Gladstone’s House of Commons”; “Old Love Napoleon”; “The Phantom Millions”; “Memoirs of An Old Parliamentarian.” What was regarded as one of his most remark-| able journalistic feats was the biography he wrote of Joseph Chamberlain at the time of the latter's death in 1914, At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Daily Telegarph called Mr. O'Connor in the House ment” of the dead statesman. He began the task at 6:30 o'clock and in three hours completed a sketch of 6,000 words. A half-hour later he was at a dinner at the Greek Embassy to deliver the prin- cipal address of the evening. Interested in maintaining amicable relations| among England, Ireland and the United States, Mr. O'Connor on his several visits to America al- ways sought to strengthen those ties. He issued | an appeal to the Irish in the United States to accept’ the Irish treaty as a settlement of the dif- ferences which so long had divided the English and Irish people. | “I wish to tell the Irishmen of America,” he said, “that there could be no action more stupid and mischievous than trying to keep up the feud| between England and Ireland and America. It would be injuring all hopes of restoration of good | relations in the world.” The universal popularity of Mr. O'Connor was evidenced in July of this year when friends of all political parties assembled about him to present him with a trust fund of $50,000, so that he might remain in Parliament without having to work as hard as he always had done to support thself] and family. All paid tribute to his long career of If the Sheppard Bill making it a crime to pur- have been orating and voting dry and drinking and living wet will quit drinking or quit voting dry.
