Criticism at Climax,

Criticism th1t has been directed from
I'LL parts OF the state against Wheeler
of Butte, has eliminated in a general
sweeping indictment OF the methods
he has used in this case Those who
have scrutinized the plan of the fed
elal prosecutor say it was the only
possible course he could have pursued
TO assure the escape of the man he de-
c'ared he would prosecute.
1t is further disclosed that his plan
was the precise counterpart of the
course which recently brought n WE'LL
known and powerful eastern news
paper into contempt Of court
Mr.. Wheeler's term of office which
he holds through the recommendation
of United States Senator Walsh, has
expired. Mr.. Wheelers desire for re-
appointment is as well known as is his
facility in finding out what district ut
torneys may not do under the law.
The purpose of the office of district
attorney Is to bring offenders against
the federal laws to Justice and to
prosecute them with all the resources
ana combined skill that may be brought
TO bear in order that the welfare of
the people as whole may be upheld
and protected.

atined. his severest critics point ont.

Some of them do not hesitate to say
that had Mr.. Wheeler done as he should
have done and suppressed these utter.
ances with a firm hand, the little
affair, which disgraced Butte and
shocked the entire nation, never would
| have occurred.
OF late, 1t is declared, Mr.. Wheeler
mas attempted to make good in The
eyes Of those who have looked with
| d,sfavor upon the course he has beer
following. and has attempted to shift
the blame for his own shortcominr,
npon the shoulders of other officials
, OF greater or less degree.
Declaration Part Of Plan,
His recent declaration that he would
find and punish the author and re.
sponsible party for n certain article
| which appeared In the Strike Bulletin
Is declared to have been a part Of thi,
PURPOSE of the district attorney. How.
ever, his numerous opponents have in.
dicated. this so-called promise of actio,
on the part of his office has proved ;
boomerang to him and has caused wis.
observers to charge that only by tn,
