What Has Changed in the Last Century
All three men were still living figures when Collier's wrote in 1921 — or so it assumed. Edward F. Dunne, the ex-mayor and ex-governor whose 1919 mission to Paris sought "self-determination" for Ireland, was refused a hearing at the Peace Conference; Ireland got the Free State by treaty in 1922 instead, and Dunne died in 1937. Finley Peter Dunne, whose saloonkeeper Martin Dooley was one of the most quoted voices in American journalism, published little after 1919 and died in 1936; the Irish-brogue spelling that made him a bestseller now keeps him off most reading lists, though lines like "th' Supreme Coort follows th' iliction returns" survive him. Bishop Edward Joseph Dunne of Dallas had in fact died in 1910, more than a decade before this entry described his appointment in the present tense.
