Barnes, which is printed herewith, wherein Mr. Barnes questions the correctness of the statement made by State's Attorney David R. Joslyn to an audience at Hebron reported, ip the columns of The Sentinel last week. Mr. Barnes requests that his letter be given as prominent a position on the front pagtt. of this issue as was given the extracts from Mr. Joslyn's Hebron speech last week, and his request is herewith granted by printing the letter in a column in the center of this page. Mr. Barnes charges Mr. Joslyn with, deceiving the public by omitting to read a certain paragraph of an opinion rendered by At­ torney General W. H. Stead, wherein Mr. Stead holds that -State's Attorneys did not have a lien on fines and forfeitures in justice . courts and that Justices of the Peace should pay all moneys receive^ by them direct to the County Superintendent of Schools. The above seems to the editor to be the nub of the controversy between Mr. Barnes and State's Attorney Joslyn. A careful exam­ ination of the--opinion „ rendered by Attorney General Stead vtill show that this opinion, which Mr. Barnes quotes, was written in January, 1909, and of course applies to the law then on the statute books and in effect. The public should understand, however, that the law as to the rights of State's Attorneys was chsnged twice during the short period of a few months. The legislature in 1907 took away from State's Attorneys the lien which they had had on tines, penalties and for* leitures. State's Attorney Joslyn went into office in December, 1908, and such was the law at that time. But in 1909 the legislature again changed the law, back exactly as it was prior to the 1907 change, and it went into effect July 1, 1909. State's Attorneys were again given a lien on justice fees, to­ gether with ten per cent commission on moneys collected by them fitHkj Justices of the Peace. , r , Thus State's Attorney Joslyn clearly was not entitled to collitiit the justice tines during the period from his induction into otlioe in December, 1908, until July 1, 1909, and it is this , part pf the opinion that Mr. Barne^ claims that Mr Joslyn failed to r^ad. Mr. Joslyn con­ cedes that fhis waa the law during the first few months of this term and charges that Mr. Barnes fn bis articles failed to quote from the tpcue page the Attorney General's opinion of the law as it stood prior to pec£inber 1, 1908, attorney General states is exactly the same as thehiw in force when Mr. Joslyn's letter was written, which was dated February 5, 1912, and Chat Mr. Barnes must have known that the law he quoted and scattered broadcast over this county was re­ pealed more than two years before any controversy arose over Mr. Jos lyn's reports and had no bearing whatever on the questions before the County Court. After July 1, 1909, the law did give him that right and made it the duty of Justices to pay to him, all fines, penalties and forfeitures, from which he deducted the amount of such liens as he properly held under the law against said moneys. In the above the Sentinel has endeavored in a few words to stats the facts as we believe they are, notwithstanding the contrary opinion of Mr. Barnes. The Sentinel does not agree with Mr. Barnes in the many other Statements or misstatements he makes concerning the public acts of btate's Attorney Joslyn, and we feel that it is now the proper time for us to let our readers know just where we stand. _ Attorney Barnes, like every other person properly qualified to hold the ofiice, has a perfect right to be a candidate for State's At­ torney of McHenry county, if he desires so to be. We also recog­ nize that fair and just criticism is the right of every freeborn Ameri­ can citizen. Every candidate has the right to call attention to any matters in the public record of any official which he believes are not as they should be. < But Mr. Barnes in his Attacks on State's Attdrnky ' Joslyn. has gone far beyond the bounds of fairness. He has directly and indirectly charged him with theft, graft and crooked methods, when we believe he knows as |»ositively as any man can know that there is not one particle of evidence upon which to base these charges. v Four years ago Mr. Barnes appeared in court as so attornejf of record for State's Attorney Joslyn. At that time he argued before the court for the correctness of Mr. Joslyn's reports. He was so en­ thusiastic in the support of his client, Mr. Joslyn, for re-eletion to the office of State's Attorney, that he wrote an able article for publication in The Sentinel endorsing Mr. Joslyn's candidacy and commending his ' conduct of the office during his first t^erm. The Article was not printed at that time, but the orginal manuscript, partly in Mr. Barnes own handwriting, is still in Mr. Joslyn's possession. Since that time Mr. Barnes himself has again heard the sweet hum of the bee of ambition for office holding and has directed his longing eyes toward the very office to which he so enthusiastically boosted his friend Joslyn just four years ago and whose conduct of the office he then upheld. But not satisfied to merely submit his candidacy to the calm judgement of the voters, he has entirely reversed himself from where , he stood four years ago, and the things which then were right, ac­ cording to his present statements, are now all wrong. . " . The fact Bhould not be overlooked that all of the charges which •Mr. Barnes makes against. Mr. Joslyn's record as State's Attorney, apply to the last half of his first term, the period in controversy in the county court, where he defended Mr. Joslyn four years ago. Our readers cannot refrain from asking themselves, whf(her |klr. Barnes was right then, when no personal ambition for the office • Iwas involved, or is he right now, when he knows that his only chance : §>f eleotion lies in the success of a stupendous effort to first destroy the good name and character of the present State's Attorney. Much has been said during the present campaign about the Tax- payers and the School Fund. The Sentinel feels that all of these re- and made lor the sols purpose of befogging the public mind. The people of • quarter of a million dollars a year for educatic ploy a State's Attorney for the prime motive of raising njoney to in­ crease the school fund. It is right and proper that money belonging to tharfund should go there, but it is far more important that the laws tinder which we live and enjoy our happiness be respected and obeyed and that criminals and lawbreakers be brought to justice, than that, the county school fund be enriched by a few paltry dollars wrung frtjsi" the founts of moral turpitude. j State's Attorney Joslyn has a record in that office that is the peer of that of any man who has ever before held the office in this county. The Sentinel says this without detracting one ieta from -the honorable records that have been made by the various able men who hays j^j^: ceded him in office.. ' V : * - ' / • Mr. Joslyn has been fearless, just and impartial in the performance" of his duties. He has devoted himself unselfishly and entirely to the office which he holds. He has spared no personal, inconveniences, but rather has been the people's servant in every way. He has vigorously prosecuted criminals and ^ias driven back Kid fotth over the county day and night in response to calls of duty. This hss been his record and on that record he makes his appeal for justice and a square deal. The question which now confronts the law abiding and peace loving J*0ple of this county is whether they realize and appreciate the true woJth of the services which this public servant has rendered during the past eight years of office holding, and whether they want to sustain and endorse that record' or whether they now want to tear down and. - besmirch the character and fair name of the man who has served them well, to satisfy the jealousies of an ambitious competitor. The family name of Joslyn stands high inthe annals of McHenry/ county history, but On its pages there stands the name of no brighter sal abler rrind or more liberal, true hearted and loyal friend than that ofour present State's Attorney. The Sentinel wants to go on record and take a stand in this wan' paiga for what we believe is right and honest, and we believe if the people of McHenry county can fully understand and appreciate the facts as they are they will give DAVID R. JOSLYN such an endorse* ment at the primaries next September as will for many years to come put an end to the dastardly method of attack which' bM? been made ipp^ t h i s c a m p a i g n . ' V j > - Below we print the article written four y«a*s ago by Attorn*^ Barnes, endorsing State's Attorney Joslyn's candidacy for re-election. Read if It is very interesting, considering the attacks which Barnes is making on Joslyn now: n JOSLYN'S RE-NOMINATION CONCEDE^ Primary Day Will See Him Practically Without Opposition State's Attorney, D. R. Joslyn, will be re-nominated on April at the Republican Primaries, by such an overwhelming majority, as 'to make it practically unanimous. Good political guesser are.openly making the prediction that our ' present State's Attorney Will carry every Town in the County, and:":' every precinct as well, at the Republican Primaries, on April 9th. The scattering supporters of his oppotfent are privately conceding that their candidate is hopelessly beaten, and they would gladly see him withdraw before Primary Day, and thus give Mr. Joslyn an en­ tirely clear field. Ifr. Joslyn has attended strictly to his own campaign, and has ~ mixed in any way with the candidacy of any other person seeking a - nomination, as he believes the voters are entirely capable of making their own selection of candidates, without advice from any one. As # , / result of the wise course pursued by Mr. Joslyn, he will receive suppori^v from every political faction now waging a battle in this County. / . The feeble attempt of his opponent to find fault with Mr. Joslyqfo Report as State's Attorney, hss not only fallen flat but has proven -ft boomerang as well. The only question ever involved on Mr. Joslyn's Report as Staters Attorney, is as to the construction of law points, and Mr. Joslyn is now Mod always has been ready to make an agreed case, and submit the same to the Courts for decision, and with a 950Q0.00, official bond be* hind Mr. Joslyn as State's Attorney, the voters refuse to be seared hy a "Bogey Man" held up by Mr. Joslyn's opponent. With a record of having collected and turned over to the school fund of this County, in three years, the sum of jthe voters appear to be entirely satisfied with that part of Mr. Joslyn's ' record. This is more than any other State's Attorney ever turned 1$ to the school fund regardless of the number of years he served. This amount, and Mr. Joslyn's fees as State's Attorney, has been collected by him, not from the tax payers, but from the persons Mr. ' JOslyn has convicted of violating the laws of our State. Everyone admits that Mr. Joslyn has been a vigorous, fearl and able prosecutor of law offenders. McHenry County needis, and m have in the office of State's Attorney, a man of this type. There seems to be a growing inclination toward lawlessness, on account of the desperate characters that are roaming through the County. Th# State's Attorney of this County stands between these law offenders, and the homes and families of our citizens. With Sheriff Henderson by his side, State's Attorney has reponded quickly at all hours of the day and night, to all appeals to hunt, search for, and arrest persons charged with, or suspected of crime. He stands as the protector of our lives and our property, and it is no time to experiment, by nominating for that office, a man who is practically unknown, and entirely UQP tried, in the fierce legal battles that are fought out in the crimintii cases tried in our Circuit and County Courts. The Sentinel will claim no credit for Mr^-Joslyn's re-nominatioo- The People are with him. It is the Republican voters who will re­ nominate him, and they would do it, by an overwhelming majority, if every newspaper in McHenry County had opposed his re-nomination and supported the candidacy of hiB opponent. life,; 'x-yvi • •'V -V 7^ Milki Mine THE SANITARY MACHINE Does away with hard work and perspiration of hot weather.
