    History of the U.S. Attorneys

    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

    CAPITOL COMPLEX the Michael J

    CAPITOL COMPLEX The Michael J. Howlett Building is south of the Capitol. Formerly the Cen- tennial Building, it was erected to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Illi- nois’ admission to the Union as the 21st state. The cornerstone of the $3 million building was laid in 1918, and the building was completed in 1923. Additions in 1928 and 1966 converted the original rectangular structure into a square build- ing while retaining the original classic architectural design. Several departments of the Secretary of State’s office are located in the building, and historic flags carried by Illinois regiments during the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and World War I are preserved carefully in display cases in Memorial Hall, just inside the building’s two main entrances on the north side. Immediately west of the Capitol is the William G. Stratton Building. Ground was broken for the H-shaped, 448,000-square-foot structure on Feb. 15, 1954, and it was completed some 20 months later at a cost of $11.5 million. It contains the offices of members of the State Senate and House of Representa- tives as well as some state agencies and departments. 460 Adjacent to the Margaret Cross Norton Building is the Illinois State Mu- seum, designed to display the many historic, artistic and natural treasures of Illinois. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held Jan. 5, 1961, and the $2.2 million building was dedicated on Feb. 4, 1963. The museum has four large exhibit halls, two on each of the first two floors. Curatorial offices and related laboratories and shops are located on the third floor along with the staff’s tech- nical library.

    Local History Collection

    Illinois and Local History at the Dixon Public Library Illinois and Local History at the Dixon Public Library Welcome to our Illinois and Local History Collection At the Dixon Public Library, we are very proud of our Illinois and Local History Collection, which covers Dixon, Lee County, and Illinois. It’s not limited to history though, with books on subjects as diverse as sports, wildlife, politics, and travel in the collection. Over the four and a half years we have gathered together over 3300 items, including 1550 distinct titles. Over 650 of these are available to be checked out, and the rest can be consulted at the library. We have more work to do and are excited by what there is still left to find. We are in the process of building an online collection of local history resources at the Illinois Digital Archive. Our Dixon College online collection can be found at https://tinyurl.com/dpldixoncollege and our Dixon History online collection is located at https://tinyurl.com/dpldigitaldixon. If you have any local history materials you would like to donate to the library, I would be very happy to see if they would fit into the collection. What follows is a complete list of the titles that we have currently available, along with notes on how they may be used.
