A fair investigation and un-
derstanding of these facts should
convince any candid mind that
not only Judge Des Voignes, but
the public prosecutor, the sheriff
and his assistants and the mag
istrates of the county are all
equally ready and willing to do
their full duty in the enforce
ment of the law. Indeed, they
have uniformly acted upon the
theory that The local option
law must be enforced the same
as any other law"

independent Caucus Called.

We, the undersigned, electors OF the
| village of Paw Paw, take pride in our
beautiful village and surrounding coun-
try, and wish to add to her Importance
commercially and as a location for sum-
mer homes. We appreciate the fact
that our present lighting system is very
bad, rendering new plant necessary,
and conditions having so changed as to
make the construction Of the big water
plant possibility, we, believing in its
construction and being confident that
the interests of the village would be best
served by removing politics from its
administration, do hereby petition and
call caucus to be held in the council
rooms on Tuesday, the 9th day of March,
! 1907, at 1880 p. m. to put in nomination
booster" or Independent ticket, nam
| ing candidates for the several village
offices.
The above petition has been
circulated in the village of Paw
Paw, and has at this writing
about 10 signers. We are in.
formed that the plan has met
with very little opposition. OF
course, the Independent move
ment does not reflect upon the
| present village officers, or any
that we have had in the past
Paw Paw has always had able
and efficient officers, and would
have again under the old plan of
party nominations. But, as the
petition states, every citizen of
Paw Paw, regardless Of party,
has a pride in our beautiful viii
lage, and has it's advancement
and welfare at heart. We real
ize the fact that something must
be done, and soon, in regard to
the electric light plant This is
a very important matter, and the
village officers should not be
hampered with party strife and
petty jealousies. If the dam
proposition is the best thing for
us, lets all get into the harness,
and make this much talked Of
plan a reality.
The village republican com
mittee has called a republican
caucus for Monday evening,
March 1, when the republicans
may take such action in the mat.
ter as is deemed best.
The True Northerner believes
in partisanship, and thinks that
we should not lose our identity
as republicans in the village,
but we are of the opinion that
the best interests of the village,
especially at this time, can be
best subserved by eliminating
politics entirely from the delib-
creations of the village board,
Let the caucus be all that the
term implies, a citizens caucus
Everyone is interested in Paw
Paw. Let the matter be talked
over at the caucus, let harmony
prevail, and let there be nomin-
ated a ticket of "boosters" or
independents regardless of party
who will do their duty, and work
for the best interests of beautiful
Paw Paw.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

Honor to whom Honor Is Que.
At a recent union meeting OF
the Methodist and Congregation
al churches of South Haven the
following resolutions were adopt
ed:
In view of the recent action of Judge
l.. b. Des Voignes IN striving to secure
an honest and efficient enforcement oil
the local option law in Van Buren, coun
ty, we, the united congregations Of the
Congregational and Methodist Episcopal
churches and other citizens OF South
Haven desire to express our hearty APP
probation Of these efforts and our ap-
proval Of them.
We pledge Judge Des Voignes our
united support in every effort to secure
the enforcement of law. We pray God S
blessing upon him in his noble work.
We further ask of the sheriff, prose-
cutting attorney and every officer of the
law in Van Buren, county that every vio-
lator of the law shall be tracked and
prosecuted to the full extent of the law,
and we pledge them our assistance 10
this course of action.
So far as the foregoing resOlu-
tons relate to Judge DesVoignes,
they are all right. He has shown
himself to be a fearless, upright
Judge and has manifested a de
termination to do his full duty,
not only in enforcing the local
option law, but all other laws
that come before him in his judi
cial capacity. Like all public
officials who perform their duties
fearlessly and conscientiously
according to their best judgment,
Judge Des Voignes is worthy of
all cOmmendation 1t is fortu-
nate indeed for any county to
have so able and upright a Judge.
But the last Of the above reso-
lutions, whether so intended by
their author or not, might be
construed to mean that the pub
lie prosecutor and other public
officials of the county had been
derelict in their duty in regard
to the enforcement of the local
option law.
The circuit Judge can have no
voice in the enforcement of the
criminal law until the prosecuting
attorney has brought matters be-
fore him in the legally prescrib-
ed way. Every criminal case
brought into the criminal court
requires official action on the
part Of the public prosecutor,
the sheriff and an examining
magistrate, unless, as is Occa
sionally the case, a grand jury
take the place Of the latter Off
Ger.
During the first two years of
Prosecuting Attorney Chase's
administration there have been
- convictions for violation of
the local option law, and three
cases are still pending awaiting
a decision of the supreme court.
Six of these convictions were up
on Indictment of the grand jury,
and each of the parties so con-
victed was indicted through the
efforts of Mr.. Chase and upon
evidence brought by him before
the grand jury. Seven other of
the above cases were instituted
upon complaint made by the
prosecutor himself and the other
two complaints were made by
public officials. Seven of the
parties were held for trial by
Justice Rowland,and two of them
by Justice Killefer A number
of other parties have been
brought before the court by Mr..
Chase and acquitted for lack of
sufficient evidence to convict,
while in some instances persons
charged with a violation of the
