ard the place where the courts of
the county were held. To present to
us completed picture OF the
conditions when this old building
was erected would require the
knowledge of an eyewitness of the
time, yet we recognize that mo-
mentous changes have been
wrought during this period.
One of the important functions
that devolves upon every citizen of
the county is his privilege and his
obligation to perform the duties of
a juror. Do you realize that a
juror has committed to him the use
of powers which touch every person
most closely and significantly in all
things he prizes highly in life?

his property, and that of his good
name and fame, as well as that of
his family and his home. They
are the investigators of che
fact, to ascertain whether crime
has been committed and who COM
mitted it SO the court may il fiict
the punishment. They give the
verdict which proclaims whet er
citizens personal and prope rty
rights have been invaded, that re-
stitution or compensation may be
made by the wrong doer. I know
of no public duty which is of great
er import to the people in their per-
sonal and public affairs. We at
times hear criticism of this system
and it is charged with insufficiencies
and shortcomings. I believe such
charges are usually due to mis-

challenges the profession of today
not to permit any faltering among
their ranks 10 a faithful and pat
riotic discbar ge Of their services in
rehalf of the public and the people
of this county. A full accomplish
ment of this mission will place Sheir
n ames on the roll of distinction and
honor of the Sauk county bar and
they will do much to perpetnate
and strengthen among the people
of this county confident trust
and hope in their local government.
It will fill them with pride to
have assisted in establishing such
beneficent social order as is SYM
bolized by this beautiful building,
the dwelling place of the county's
government, its courts and other
public departments.
To have founded and to sustain
such a local government is proof of
that actual democracy which the
immortal Lincoln 80 aptly describ-
ed as government of the people,
for the people and by the people.
1t was under the impulse OF such
a spirit that this building was err
ected as a monument to the enter
prise and loyalty Of the people OF
Sauk county, and it will proclaim
to the world that they iabored to
perpetuate the blessings of the in
stitutions they now enjoy.

carriage of justice resulting from
causes and omissions not attribut-
able to any mistake or delinquency
of the juror. While such complaints
are directed at the verdicts of juries
they are usually indiscriminately
made irrespective of the real cause
of the unfortunate result, and are
born from the outraged feelings of
the people when wrong goes un-
punished. without giving thought
that it resulted from circumstances
over which the jury had no control,
but which enabled the wrong-doer
to elude the laws.
1t would be of interest could we
trace in detail some Of the innumer-
able. battles of the forum, which
were waged within the precincts OF
the court rooms of the Old court
house, wherein the cause of the
parties was espoused with all the
ability and power at the command
of counsel. Yet these public con-
tests were, after all, but the con-
clusion of long hours of patient and
anxious labor for clients to bring
before the court and jury he focts
and circumstances of the trans
action out of which conflict arose.
Then there was the Office IT. ctice
of the members of the bar in which
much time and effort was spent in
quiet devotion to duties, and where
in they acted as judges in passing
opinion on doubtful rights, before
any controversy arose. In this

benefit of cit;z ms of Sauk county.
Few counties in our prosperous
commonwealth can better afford
proper and even elaborate building
in which to keep its valuable re-
cords, and transact its official busi-
ness, than our own, and your COM
mittee that has been charged with
the erection and equipment of this
new court house, sincerely hopes
that its work may meet with your
reasonable approval.
When we entered upon our duties
it was with the determination, if
possible to complete our work with
/ in the limit of the county appro-
Ipriation and, We are pleased to re-
port that we have been able to do so.
When the improvements upon
the grounds, provisions for which
have already been made by the
county, are completed, we believe
the Sank county court house and
park will be among the most at
tractive and satisfactory in the
state.
Much credit is due to Architect
A. G. Clas for the great interest
he has taken in the erection of
satisfactory building in this, his
home county.
We are pleased to be able in the
brief time set apart for these exer-
cises, to present to you as speakers
men who have been and are, active
ly interested in the welfare of Sauk
County.
Justice Siebecker's Speech.
Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives
me pleasure to join you at this time
and rejoice with you in celebrating
the completion and dedication of
this court house. The thoughts
and feelings evoked on this occasion
reach tointe1ests which touch many
things in the public and private life
of the people. Many activities
through which the citizen exercises
his privileges of local selfgovern-
ment center in this public building,
through which he seeks to give ex-
preston to his participation in
popular affairs. To him the court
house symoblizes the authority and
the maintenance of public order,
the protection of his personal liber-
ty the security of his property and
the right to the pursuit of his hap
p;ness. With this as its mission it
stands side by side with our homes
ard our school houses and embodies
some of our highest hopes and mob
Hest aspirations.
1t is indeed appropriate that we
pause for moment in the course
of our daily pursuits and indulge
| the thoughts and hopes which arise
in our breasts in dedicating this
building to the common good of all
the people of this county. The
events of this day naturally lead US
to think of the past. We are NOV
