FOUND DEAD IN HALLWAY.
William Lavigne, Burlington Hickman,
Had Heart Failure.

Burlington, Oct 24-William Lavigne
hack driver, was found dead in the
hallway on the second floor of the Bur.
lington block yesterday afternoon by
James D. Mccarthy.
The man was lying on his back near a
door where it is inferred he had tried 70
gain admittance. The left leg and the
left arm were slightly elevated, the heel
of the mans shoe resting on the floor.
1t was quite evident from the way in
which the man held his arm that he had
endeavored to save himself when he fell.
The man could not have been long dead
because when Health Officer +. j. Ennis
and Chief of Police P. j. Russell arrived
at the place the body was still warm.
The man had suffered from heart dis
ease many times in the past, and had
been taken to his home in the police am
bulance a couple of times. He did not
venture out yesterday morning because
of ill-health, but early in the afternoon
he remarked to a friend that he thought
he would "hitch up and earn half dol
lar" A coincidence of the mans death
was the fact that the man had Just
earned the half dollar from Miss Nora
Downey, whose two dress suit cases he had
but moment before he fell deposited on
the landing on the second floor.
Lavigne was about 46 years of age,
unmarried and is survived by brother,
besides the sister with whom he lived.
The brother is Elroy Lavigne of Hines
burg. The body was removed to the I'M
dertaking parlors of Read s. Dover on
Pearl street and prepared for burial.

BRAVED U-BOAT DANGERS
To See Lord Mayor of Cork Throw Dart
Into the Sea.

Cork, Oct. "a Correspondence The
members of the Irish convention braveC
the dangers of mines and submarines q
few days ago when they went by steam
er to the entrance of Queenstown harbor
and watched the lord mayor of Cork per.
form the quaint and ancient custom OF
throwing the dart into the sea to define
the limits of his authority as admiral OF
the port.
This practice originated in a charter
granted to the city by King Henry VII
in 1900 1t prescribed that every three
years the ceremony be performed at a
point three miles outside the harbor
This time, however, owing to subma-
rines and mine menace, the mayor
winked at the custom and to the great
relief of his 500 guests, satisfied tradi-
tion by casting the dart at the very
mouth of the harbor.
Irishmen of all creeds and classes sat
down to luncheon served on board. No
blemen broke bread beside the democrat
and all seemed on good terms. The Prot
estant archbishop of all Ireland sat be-
side Catholic Archbishop Harty of Cash
ell, while beside John Redmond were the
earl of Granard and Viscount Middleton.
After toasts had been drunk to the
king and success to the convention, Sir
Horace Plunkett made hopeful speech
on the conventions prospects. I'VE have
passed one very important stage" he
said, "and are moving on to the next.
All we ask is patience and credit for our
good intentions. At the worst we shall
have narrowed the differences which keep
Irishmen apart. Irishmen of north and
south will continue to meet on better
terms than they ever did before"
Several hundred persons lined the Cork
dock to cheer the delegates as they EN-
barked, Redmond receiving repeated
friendly demonstrations which almost
drowned few Kisses from isolated
groups of political opponents.
After n trip down the picturesque river
Lee to the Atlantic without incident, on
return a halt was made at Queenstown,
where the delegates were entertained at
the oldest yacht club in the world

The Liquor "Revenue" Pretense.

A recent special from Chicago to the
Christian Science Monitor. Boston,
gives interesting figures concerning
the big revenue loss" to result from
suppression of the liquor traffic. Read
it and see if you do not discover some
striking. facts previously given you by
the Kennebec Journal:
Whenever there is talk Of cutting
off liquor making or saloons, the
friends Of drink usually spare, no
pains to lay before the public the loss
of revenue, Federal or municipal, re-
sulting. Just now story Is going
the rounds, which may or may not
be perfectly innocent, Of the serious
loss the Government faces in the i'm
pending cessation of internal revenue
taxes on spirits in the Fifth Illinois
district alone. This is the district
which contains Peoria, the greatest
distilling center in the United States.
For some reason the article did not
mention that, though along toward the
finish it did say that ne-half of the
world supply of whiskey comes from
Central Illinois.
To pass from the story simply to
consider the figures presented, for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1917, the
total revenue collections for the dis
trict in question amounted to $685.
$50. For the month of June the COL
lections came to s3.1s9,650. This is
rot all on spirits but most of it is
Taken by themselves and looked at
as a local proposition these figures
probably seem large enough, but
wnen dropped into the national bal
ance. as these sums are in fact, and
viewed from present day financial op-
erations. their bulk and importance
quickly shrink.
The fact is that the day has passed
in this country. so far as the present
and the tendencies of the present are
concerped, when the receipts from
spirits taxes are big enough that their
loss may cause concern. Time was
and it is recent that the whiskey rev.
erue doomed much larger in paying
the Governments bills. A few addi-
tional figures, not supplied by the
article mentioned will serve to make
this plain.
Only two years ago. less than that.
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1915. the total internal revenue coll
lections on spirits. in the country at
large, amounted to s15s,es2.4s953.
This is about the average per year.

The Wicked Suf7rauists.

The Augusta local ants report Of Mrs.
Wadsworth's visit quotes her as declaring
a "close affiliation between Socialists.
the I. W. ", and the suffrage associa-
ton" Therefore, IL you are member
of the Grange pledged to suffrage you
are in league with the criminal organiza-
ton that is aiding the German prop
thing In It's power to undermine and de-
stroy the American government.
We did not hear Mrs. wadsworth say
it. for our reporter was not permitted
to hear her address or even to take her
own summary Of her message to Maine

that was handed in for publication.

year. including spirits and everything
else, came to s512,723, 2S7.77. Inciden-
tally the internal revenue tax on beer
in that year totaled SsS,77l, 1889.
But to take only the tax on spirits,
that amounted to 80 per cent of the
total internal revenue receipts.
Last year, that is, the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1917, the income tax
was Increased. That brought a big
advance in the total collections, put
ting them at $S09, 1886, a jump
Of nearly S300,0Qo,o00. The figure for
the income tax receipts alone was
$3.50, 141.70 or 70 per cent of the
total internal revenue from all sources
the year before The figures on the
spirits collections are not at hand,
but it is not expected that they great
ly exceeded the average year of $780,
100000 to s16O.000,0oO. The ratio be-
tween total internal collections and
those from spirits only, it will be OBJ
served, expanded considerably in the
one year. thanks to the increase in
income tax from l per cent to per
cent. The whiskey collections for the
year ending June 80, 1917, will have
to show 1851 100000 to make 20 per
cent OF the total internal revenue col
lections, a loss of SO per cent in i'm
portance in one year.
That is significant but not so sig
nificant as what is anticipated this
present year. Legislation now pend
ing promises again to double the in
come tax When that takes place, the
receipts from income tax alone will
amount to as much as the total inter-
nal revenue collections Of last year,
so experts estimate. This will further
Sharply reduce the place that spirits
receipts have had in running the Gov
eminent. Of course the nation has
many other sources of revenue besides
the internal revenue collections. For
instance. for the year ending June 80,
1915 when the total internal revenue
collections stood at S512,723.2s7.77,
the total receipts from all sources.
exclusive Of postal, were sS4o,os6,-
95o.27. So when you really get down
into figures those from the district
embracing Peoria do not look so i'm
pressive.
But to get away from figures and
into the question of how to make up
that apparently rapidly approaching
disappearance of revenue from spirits.
Simply double the tax on beer and
wine and nobody will ever miss It,
is the answer that experts in these
matters Of internal revenue give.
