EFFECT OF WHIskEY TAX.

key tax is playing in Irish politics il
causing close study to be made of
the whiskey industry in Ireland. 1t
may be said at the outset that it ia
impossible to do anything more than
to form rough estimate of the effect
which the tax is having on the whis-
key trade since there is another very
important factor tending to deaden
this industry. That factor is the tenn
perance movement which is making
itself felt throughout the length and
breadth of the codh,try. At Dundalk
and Longford recently, two remarkab BILE
demonstrations were held which amply
attest to the importance of the work
that is being done in the way of pro-
noting temperance.
AS sequel to this condition it is
not surprising to learn that the extra
tax on whiskey has, according to re-
cent estimates, materially reduced the
taxation of Ireland. The total pro-
duction of whiskey for the last year
for which figures have been compiled
is twelve million gallons. Assuming
that the diminution in the production,
owing to the causes mentioned, is one
third of that amount, the estimated
cost of production would be decreased
by from two to three hundred thou
sand pounds But the decrease in the
amount Of duty is estimated at ap-
proximately million and half
pounds, thus leaving saving to the
country of over a million pounds. Fig
uring on this basis the whiskey tax
is not so full of horrors as some of it's
worst enemies would have it appear.
However, it must be admitted that
the principle of over-taxation is in
volved and this is the chief argument
that can be advanced against it. But
ger, for the postponement of that por-
ton of the budget relating to the tax
on whiskey to the November sitting Of
Parliament leaves the Irish Party in a
position to compel compromise or
turn out the government.
The principal reason why so much
stress is being laid on the whiskey tax
and whiskey industry is because Ire
land is lacking mother industries. If
18th jv,l,
tries. such as there should be, and
doubtless would be if Ireland were a
self governing country, the dread of a
lull in the whiskey trade would not
have the effect that 1T seems to have
at the present time:
If the important position held by
the whiskey tax at the present time
will have the effect of impressing any
particular fact on the people of Ire
land at this time it should be the ne
cessity of developing Irish industries.
And as English statesmen know that
Irish industries cannot flourish under
the present form of government in
Ireland 1t should have the added effect
of Fastening a solution of the Irish
question.
There was a time before the Act of
Union was passed when Irish indus
tries flourished, but the hundred years
of Union have shown the devastating
effect of that Act GA fertile and once
prosperous country. No greater argu-
ment can be advanced for the restora-
ton of the Irish Parliament.

since he was twenty years old. His
father lived to be 100 years of age
1t must be that his father didn't

lNsURGENT TONIC.


try in peculiar condition at the pres
ent time. 1t is divided against itself
which is Scriptural reason why it
should fall. During President Taft's
administration it has been unfortunate
in gathering barnacles which it seems
now helpless to remove and equally
helpless to succeed without their re-
moval. Cannon, Aldrich and Ballinger
have been so closely identified with
the present administration and so I'M
popular with the people that the ad-
ministration must choose between this
trio and the people. That would be
an easy matter under ordinary condi-
tons, but as it happens, only one of
the three, Senator Aldrich, sees fit to
accept the invitation of the public to
skulk away into well-earned oblivion.
Ballinger still identifies himself with
the administration and only the per-
sonal invitation of President Taft will
induce him to resign. To get the re-
signing idea into Cannon's autocratic
head would require nothing less than
a ball and chain and palisade.
1t must be admitted, however, that
Cannon is doing more good for the
Democrats and insurgent Republicans
by his active opposition than he could
do by retiring from politics. He is the
official insurgent tonic. Down in Kan
sas he turned on blast Of vitupera-
ton with the result that Kansas went
on record as strongly insurgent state.
Wherever he breaches Cannonism,
anti Cannonism f1ourishes. And yet
he still perseveres in declaring himself
a candidate for the speakership. He
has been SO long accustomed to hav-
ing his own way that he cannot I'M
derstand how he is going to be refused
what he wants now. But the unde-
sirable thing is doomed to happen and
the only way that Cannon can avoid
defeat at the hands of the next House
of Representatives is to take matters
into his own hands and refuse to run.
That would all be consistent with his
usual policy except the end attained.
The sweeping victories of the insur-
gents in the various parts of the coun-
try are becoming alarming to the con-
sentative element. And even in those
states where the machine manages to
get it's chosen ones on the ticket the
chances of Republican victory are not
promising. for the insurgents are more
likely to swing their strength to the
Democratic ticket than to support the
"standpat" candidates.
A significant result Of the refusal of
the Republican state committee of New
York on Tuesday to recommend Mr..
the Republican state convention, which
will meet Sept. 81, was the declaration
of Mr.. Roosevelt which practically
places him on record as favoring the
progressive element of the party in
that state. If this construction of Mr..
Roosevelt's words is the right one it
will add joy to the insurgent ranks
and be decidedly unwelcome news to
the conservatives.
There is likely to be some very rad
ical changes in the makeup of the
House as result of the November
elections. Considering the results of
the first year and a half of Taft's adj
ministration, a little winnowing is In
order.

SUPERIOR NEWS.

~ = AS&OA ~ ~ ~ - w ~
The members of the Jesuit order of
Catholic priests are still seeking
site in Superior for the location of
school planned by that body in this
city. According to Rev. Father j. J.
Driscoll of st. Patrick's church at Bill
lings Park, who is member of the
order, several very excellent locations
in the city are now being considered
by those in authority and it may not
be long before work on the construc-
Just where these sites are it could not
be learned, but it is understood that
they are in different parts of the city.
One of he things, according to Father
Driscoll, which will figure prominently
in the completion of a deal for site
will be the cost of the property.
Whether the school will be of the
academic or collegiate class of schools
conducted by the Jesuit Fathers about
the country will depend largely on the
number of boys and young men likely
to enroll. 1t is also expected that
something of definite nature will be
learned in regard to the orphanage
asylum planned by Rt. Rev. Bishop
A. F. Schinner in this city for the
Superior diocese. Land said to be
suitable has already been secured near
the South End on which to build. AS
soon as the diocese is in shape to ex-
pend the money for the asylum it
will be erected, which is said to be in
the near future.
Over 500, the greater portion of
whom were from Superior, attended
the big picnic held by the local divi-
sion of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans at Two Harbors last Sunday
Ideal weather aided the sons of Ire
land in holding one of the most en-
joyable events ever had at the north
shore city. A program of sports was
arranged for the afternoon and the
contests proved very interesting to the
large crowd. The trip was made on
the steamer Easton.
Miss Mary E. Doyle, formerly of the
local normal school faculty, has ac-
cepted the position of superintendent
Of the Catholic normal school at Sc
attic. Miss Doyle resigned from the
local school some time ago for the
purpose of preparing for use in the
Catholic schools series of readers.

was there, the two burials being held
at the same time.

Because Francis G. Luke, president
Of the Merchants Protective association
refused to pay an assessment on what
the government claims TO be the net
profits of the company. in accordance
with a law passed last year. causing all
corporations TO pay a percentage on
their net profits in excess of $1,000, as
an assessment, the internal revenue Of
ficials levied against certain office

day man and a dray appeared at the
office 20 take away the property.
Mr.. Luke protested against the prop
erty being taken, which included
golden oak desk, mahogany Iillng
case a planOtype machine and a car
pet but TO no avail and the man i'm
mediately set TO work TO take up the
carpet. In the meantime Luke went to
see Internal Revenue Collector Z. II.
Calhster, who appointed him keeper
of the property which had been levied
on until November 8, until which time
he was given to file an amended state
ment of the profits of the corporation.
The internal revenue department fig
ured that the profits of Luke's company
from his statement amounted TO about
S25 600 a year. Mr.. Luke refused to pay
an assessment on this amount, contend
ing that il was not the profits of the
corporation, but his personal profits.
The government would not see it the
same way, however, and, when he re-
fused to pay the assessment, levied on

" an extract from a speech delivered
on the floor OF the Senate by Mr.. BO-

- follows;

accomplished a considerable amount
