JUDGE DES VOIGNES
AND CONGRESS
From Cassopolis vigilant)

The Vigilant has been recent
ly amused and, finally, somewhat
disturbed by phase in the prac-
tical working of the primary sys-
tenn which threatens to make
personal Office seeking a contin-
uous performance and may re-
quire drastic action to allow the
voters time to attend their own
business between elections.
Judge DesVoignes' term ex-
pires on December 81, 1917, and
his successor will be elected in
April, two years hence. e. l..
Hamilton's term expires on
March 9Th, 1917, and the prim-
aries that will designate his sue
cessor are fifteen months in the
future.
Already we are in receipt of
half dozen marked newspapers
and numerous personal letters
announcing the candidature of
lawyers who prefer sure $500
per year to the uncertain receipts
of a country practice, and of
others who seem to regard a seat
in congress as a $500 billet
which they envy, rather than a
station of national service where
long training is required before
efficiency is reached.
Five of the papers received
add to the announcement of a
candidate for the judgeship, in
1917, friendly suggestions or
direct propositions that the Judge
should run for congress.
Judge DesVoignes may be fair
ly labelled as Cass county's fav-
orite son He has made good
in every position to which he
has been called, and, if this
county was called upon to furn-
ish a candidate for congress, or
any other place of public trust,
there is no question as to the
popular choice, but we are auth
orized to say that he is not and
will not be candidate for con-
gress. He has no desire for or
leaning toward the labors Of or
responsibilities incurred in that
service.
If, during the winter of 1861,
the Republicans of Van Buren,,
who outnumber those in Cass by
more than two to one, decide,
from a sentiment Of local pride or
any other reason, that they pre-
fer VanBuren lawyer to pre-
side in our courts he will be con-
tent with their verdict and retire
with a twelve year record of
faithful, humane, just and wise
administration of the laws of his
state and country.
AS to the congressional situa
tion in 1916 he agrees with what
we believe will be the concensus
of opinion among thoughtful and
patriotic men, viz, that the PEG.
pie are now waiting impatiently
for the ballot to elect a Republi
can President; that he must be
supported by Republican Con
gress: that the work of recon
structing and rehaoilitating our
commerce and industries and re.
Installing our nation in its pro-
per place OF honor and influence
among other world powers calls
for the best trained talent that
the party can furnish; that a
new member, whatever his abili-
ty, only represents a vote and
can have no part in the direction
of legislation; and that, for that
Congress, the most important in
opportunity and results since the
resumption of specie payments,
we should avail ourselves of and
furnish to the National Councils
the man who has grown bigger
and stronger in every one of his
ten terms, who was selected by
the leaders to answer President

ECHOES OF RECENT MEETING
District Grand Lodge Secretary p. A.
Richardson Makes Glowing Report OF
Money Received For His Department.
Fine Condition Of the Order Cause
For Great Enthusiasm.
By GEORGE +. KING.

Nashville, N. C.-The glowing re-
ports Of the grand lodge officers of the
recent district grand lodge No. Of
MOTIF. -<'---~i.riz1- G.. q. O. OF O. f., held
in Raleigh, and the eon.e-. hetween
Raleigh and Durham to secure the
magnificent $4,000 temple the grand
lodge is going to erect are among the
concrete evidences of progress among
our people In the Old North State.
The most conspicuous evidence of
the Negroes ability to manage large
constructive movements by starting
with limited finance was exhibited in
the report Of District Endowment Sec
retary P. A. Richardson of this town.
Being splendidly endowed with the
qualities essential to lead his people
in such movements, and being one Of
the most progressive and energetic lay
men in the A. M. e. church, and hav-
ing become a leading business factor
in his community, the grand lodge, rep
resenting a membership of 10000, has
paid Mr.. Richardson a fitting tribute
at each annual session for placing his
department on a substantial basis.
Mr.. Richardson, by judicious man
agement, keeping his finger tips on ev-
cry detail Of his business and strictly
honest methods, has become native

as they climb They believe that wom-
| en- are to be the lever with which the
world must be lifted. Kingdoms will
rise or fall In proportion as woman
| uses her influence. Nations will as
cend or descend in the scale Of civilt-
zation in proportion as woman deports
| herself.
The most hopeful sign Of racial de-
velopment is that which begins within
the race. Less than twenty years ago
the colored women caught the vision,
and it is leading them on to the perfect
day. The National Association Of Col
ored Women's Clubs, Of which Mrs.
Booker L. Washington is president,
with an approximate membership Of
$4,000; the Northeastern Federation OF
Women's clubs, of which Miss Eliza
beth Carter of New Bedford, Mass, Is
president, with its thousands of mem
bers, and our own Empire State fed
Grafton, 5000 strong, Mrs. M. @. Law
ton Of this city president, are all united
in heart, concentrated in purpose and
marching in a solid phalanx to the tune
of advanced womanhood.
The one thing which characterizes
. the women's organizations throughout
the country and distinguishes them
perhaps from some others is that they
are more directly concerned about
character building than any other fea-
ture. They feel that woman Of
moral worth will experience no diff
Guilty in becoming a financial factor.
Besides, they feel that the morality Of
the women of any race must be its cor
nerstone if succeeding generations are
| to build successfully on the foundation
as laid. Unless the pedestal upon
| Is properly constructed it will crumble
and fall.
The colored women all over this
country have opened the drafts Of
| their hearts that the fire of love may
burn more brightly and that its rays
may be lamp to the feet and light
to the pathway of unfortunate woman
hood. That their consciences have
been quickened and their convictions
deepened is evidenced in our great city
by the establishment of the Empire
Friendly Shelter for unfortunate girls
in Manhattan and the proposed estab-
lishment in October Of a home for
delinquent colored girls.
The constant influx to this great city
from south and the immigration from
foreign countries are placing before the
women Of New York problem which
must be reckoned with-one which, II
J not carefully studied, will become so
intricate and complicated as to render
it insoluble. Our social problems are
engaging the attention of the best
| minds in the country, and certainly
must appeal to us If we are to be
reckoned with as an integral part Of
this great and advanced civilization.

ideaP for our people in this section
He has shown how the Negro can be
come a factor in the south, especially
in North Carolina, and by his example
many of our people are succeeding in
the rural districts.
The endowment department Of the
Odd Fellows in this jurisdiction up to
the year 1908, at which time Mr.. Rich
ardson was elected to redeem it from
its deplorable plight, apparently had
failed to meet the purposes for which
it was launched, and 1t required man
peculiarly fitted for the task of reha-
bilitating this department. Mr.. Rich
ardson started out with a cash balance
Of $3493 and with an Indebtedness in
this department of over $4,000 Of un-
paid claims and borrowed moneys and
also with a policy in force for 500
which required two years to mature.
During the administration Of Mr..
Richardson the above liabilities have
been paid, current expenses kept up,
over $1,000 put in office fixtures, ETC.,
and carrying policy Of $500. Through
his keen business perception and
sagacity he has saved the fraternity
over $4,000.
His annual report shows the total re-
caipts for the year to be $2S,S43.27;
disbursements, $4,005.5S, with bal
ance carried forward of S24,S37.69.

By Mrs. NJ. C. LAWTON.
Brooklyn-Now that the various
state declarations of colored women's
clubs have held their annual sessions
and another years work Is to be plan
ned it behooves the women to be up
and doing. at no tinao in the worlds
history have there been greater posi-
bilities of facilities for women's activ-
tiles. The progress Of races is deter
mined more by the development Of the
women than by any other advance
ment. Women everywhere realize this
and are spending and being spent for
the uplift of the masses as never be-
fore.
Colored women are keenly alive to
their potentiality and are making hero
ic efforts in the development of
stronger and more substantial woman
hood. Instead of prosecutions of the
colored women discouraging them, they
have strengthened them, so that those
of culture and ability have constituted
themselves into moral, mental and in
tellectual derricks for the purpose OF
pulling up the women farthest down.
They feel it their imperative duty to
stimulate the woman who lacks an In
centive to give impetus to latent or
slumbering talent. They no longer sit
on the summit of fame overlooking
the ruins of neglected womanhood, but
realize as they ascend they must lift
