(continhed From Page Two.l

The United States government does
not pretend to do IT, and people do
not violate the Federal laws nearly 50
frequently as they violate the State
laws.
It Is supposed that If law is put
on the statute books proper power and
means viii be placed beside 1t to en-.
force 1t. Otherwise the law should
not be enacted. 1t is worse than fool
ish to enact laws and not provide ade.
quateIy for their enforcement.
Mr.. McGraw complains that the per.
sonal property Is not on the books as
It ought to be, and yet he complains
Of the inquisit6rial powers Of the State
tax commissioner on the books with
out inquiry? or how would he find out
1t is not on the books and punish the
ionss who do not put 1t on the books
without inquiry? and II the inquiry
does not go far enough and to ascertain
these facts the inquiry is useless.
Perhaps Mr.. McGraw can explain
how a tax system can be carried out
without inquisftorlalness. and If he
can he has performed a deed which no
student or writer on this subject has
yet been able to do.
Mr.. McGraw speaks Of the "wither;
ing influence that has fallen upon the
undeyelop6d mineral resources Of the
State" and the consequent fall in the
price Of mineral lands. This has not
been observed elsewhere to my knowl.
edge. Statistics will show this. Be.
sides, the State has never known a pc.
ROD of crater development than this
same year of 1906.
That Predicted Deficit.
The writer Of this remarkable adj
dress fears a deficit in the State treas.
ury This has been prophesied by Ger.
tain newspapers for some time, and lis
non.appearance is probably the source
Of deep regret to them. There is no
deficit in the State treasury. At the
end Of the fiscal year, September Both,
two weeks ago, there was $lSS,O0O in
the treasury to the credit of the State
fund, and every Obligation had been
met. So the prophesy of deficit, like
all other prophesies Of the Democratic
leaders on the new tax laws, has come
to nothing, Not one of them has come
true. 1t is stated that the counties
have not been able to levy sufficient
money to pay ,their obligations and
that they will have deficits. The def.
cts or debts on sthe counties are not
creatures of the new laws, but legacies
of old laws. Under the new the coun.
ties and other local levying bodies are
prohibited from creating debts and the
members of these bodies are made
civilly and criminally liable for fail
ure to observe the law. This was
necessary to prevent recurrence Of

 The Baroness was particularly be- loved by the people of the White chapel district, London, whose condi- ton she had done much to improve. Twenty-Five years ago. the Baroness became the wife of William Ashmead Bartlett, then a young man in the d. plomatic service, and at present d member of parliament for Westminster. He was born at Plymouth, Mass.
 The Baroness Burdett-Coutts had a remarkable history.
 To have known William the Fourth, to have been present at Queen Victo- ria's coronation, to have teen inti- mately associated with Charles Dick ems and to have spent over million pounds in charity form a unique chap ter of experiences in this woman's life.
 King Edward once said that after his own mother. the Baroness was the most remarkable woman in England, and unquestionably the second lady In the land.

SEN. CAFFERY PASSES AWAY Ends Long Fight Against
 Death. RECORD WAS REMARKABLE Served Country With Distinction
 in War and Peace. War Record Was Brilliant, Fought Carpetbasser. to Finish, Elected to Senate and Nominated for
 yice-President.
RECORD WAS REMARKABLE

New Orleans, Dec. 30.-Formor Sem ator Donnelson Caffery died tonight. The body will be taken to his home in Franklin, La, on a special train.
 Senator Caffery's career was identified with some of the greatest move- ments of the South, both business and political.
 During the Civil War he earned a reputation for daring. In an attempt to blow up Federal gunboats In Atcha- falaya, Bay, La, he swan the bay In the night pushing ahead of him with the aid of long pole a specially man. ufactured torpedo. Despite repeated bumpings against the man-ofwar z side, with the aid of the pole the tor pedo failed to explode and Mir. Gallery swan to shore without having been first lieutenant and served as stan officer under Major General w. w. Walker.
 He was one of the leaders of the movement to rid this State of carpet bagger politicians. In one famous instance, he was tried in a United States Court on a charge of conspiring to drive Republican of Northern birth out of this section of the country. He was acquitted.
 Senator Caffery became one of the principal unbuilders of the Louisiana sugar industry, being a leader in estab- fishing the modern system of central sugar houses.
 He first came into political promin- ence as one of the framers of the cons stitutlon of this State In 1899 he was appointed to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Randall l.. Gibson, and was later elected by the Louisiana Legis- lature,
 His nomination for the Vice Presi- dency by the gold Democrats in 1900, was the last event of importance in his political career.
 Former United States Senator Don nelson L. Caffery died at 10:20 tonight
 Senator Caffery was strickeI with stomach trouble on December 1s A few days later an acute kidney disease developed and since that time the life of the aged statesman has been re- peatedly despaired of. When the end came Mir cafery was surrounded by two daughters and two sons. A third son, a lieutenant in the army serving In the Philippines, was unable to be here.

FORECAST OF NEWS
LITTLE IS EXPECTED FROM CON- GRESS' SESSIONS. ."+
Appropriation Hills May Be Brought Forward While Brownsville Affair and SmOOt Case Are On the
 Calendar.

Cogress will reconvene after the Christmas recess at 12 o'clock next Thursday, but it is not expected that much business will be transacted in either house until the week following.
 No program. so far, has been ar ranged for either body. and the general expectation is that nothing will be done in that direction until the houses are called together. There has seldom been such an exodus of public men for brief respite from work as there was when the recess began, and as the mem bers are returning very slowly, there Is not a sufficient number of either Senators or Representatives in the city even to outline plan of action.
 The purpose is, in a general way, to proceed with the appropriation bills as rapidly as possible, but as neither House has one of these measures be- fore it. both will be forced to take up other matters of legislation or adjourn from day to day until the committees can bring In some of the supply meas urcs It may, therefore, happen that one or both of the houses may adjourn from Thursday or Friday until the fol- lowing Monday. This will depend up on the wishes of members who have pet measures that they desire to press.
 If is known to be Senator Foraker' s wish to secure early consideration by the Senate of his resolution for a Sen atoriaI investigation or the BroWns- vile, Texas episode. in which the dis charged negro troops of the 18th Reg iment are accused of participating and he has been devoting much of the time of recess to preparation for the con tinuance of his discussion of this sub- Ject.
 FOraIxer Is Anxious.
 It Is understood to be his intention +o nroceed as soon as the Senate is pre- pared to have him do so, but If, as 1t seems likely, the attendance during the first few days of the renewed session should be meagre. he may ask for a nostponement until the Senatorial seats generally are occupied.
 The question of Senator Shoots eli gibIlltv is also in condition to be con sidered bv the Senate. but as Senator Foraker is counted upon by the Utah Senator's friends to lead In his de- fense. 1t is understood that the ques- tion will be deferred for time. if not indefinitely. There Is a growing dispo- sItIon among Senators to postpone ac- fion on the Shoot matter and predlc- tions that the session will be permitted to mass without vote are not infre- 1nent Mir. Shoot. however. is very solicitnus for a ballot and his wishes may be permitted to prevail.
 Ry unanimous consent the Senate will vote on January 12 on Senator I,aFollette's bill placing limitation on tbe duration of the employment Of railroad employees and that measure is now in posltiOr to be called up for dis cussion at any time.
