SUCCESSFUL MEN
sruYvEsANT FISH.

Unlike most OF our successful men, Mr..
Fish was not poor boy. He received a
college education and at the age of twenty
was put to work like any poor man j
son.
His first position was in the office OF
the president of the Illinois Central rail-
road. His duties were of little importance
and salary small. He was often so hard
up that he was compelled to walk to and
from his. boarding house, to the Office
Complaining of this to his father the
latter asked GLOW much is the 6, ca,
fare?" "Three cents each way" replied
the young man. ''WelI, that's six cents
altogether. think ! would keel. right on
walking. It's more economical than rid
ing. You'll wear out some shoe leather
but not six cents worth every day"
He soon received position with bank
after he had shown his character ane
ability he was elected director of the Hi
nois Central railroad and year later T.
its presidency. This railroad under MS
management has prospered greatly.
Until the recent insurance investigation.
Mr.. Fish was practically unknown. Their
suddenly. he came into wide ,rroninence
He stood for honesty and full investiga-
ton.

Where We Stand

Two years ago we advocated
the election of Ross McLaugh
lin for Co. Atty. and believe our
readers hee9e1 our articles at
that time. Again we recon-
mend him for reelection to
SECOND term and believe oul
readers needed our articles at
that time. Again we recon
mend him for reelection to {
second term and believe ou,
readers sanction our recon.
mendation.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has conduct
ed tie Office of county attorney
on q strictly business basis and
in this respect has succeeded in
saving the tax payers of Harri
son county a great deal OF
money, in fact more than any
county attorney we have ever
had. He has succeeded in
this, and without injury to his
record or the interests of Har.
rison county. Not withstand
ing the would-be slurs and in
situations of the News, which
has q personal reason for its
hostility to him, his record has
been equal to anv of his prede-
cessors and far ahead of some
of them. Those who condemn
his record, only show ignorance,
for an examination of the s. me
will show, that his duty has
been performed at all times
and will show that he has GER
tainly been busy during the
past two years, with more credit
to himself than is generally
secured in the criminal court.
This office is a hard office to
fill to the satisfaction of all. 1t
can b truly stated, that the
county attorney gets kicked if
he does, and kicked, if he does
nct, no matter what may arise
or the circumstances surround
ing the same. When we recol-
lect that our laws compel the
prosecution to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that a viola
ton Of law has been committed
by a person, it is remarkable
that so many criminals are con-
victed.
The Times has always tho't,
that if its people were as
willing to testify themselves,
when they know the law is be-
ing violated, as they are to
complain because a prosecution
is not made, then and in that
event, violations of law would
become fewer. as evidence
could he secured to prove the
charge beyond a reasonable
dOlbt.
The experience that Mr.. Nc
Laughlin has had in the past
two years in the county attor-
ney's office, certainly qualities
him more than ever for the
office and this together with bis
splendid record entities him to
q second term.
