Wheeler
He Fought Crooks;
They Strike Back
(Editorial)

MAYHEM any man dares
w TO attack predatory
state business and cor
rupt political men in this
nation today he must have
spotlessly clean hands. Not
only must he be morally
and legally free from blem-
ish; he must also have so
guarded his every move
and word that there is no
weak spot in his armor.
II there Is a bad spot in
his record, no matter how
old or how completely it may
have been atoned for, the
secret agents of the crooks
will find it and the poll
tician will publish it. And
if he is not scrupulously
careful at all times, they
will frame" him and ruin
him.
Witness the indictment
yesterday of Senator
Wheeler of Montana.
And then, recall:
The contemplate whis-
pering campaign that was
conducted against Wood
row Wilson; the slurring
innuendo assault on Theo-
dore Roosevelt; the case
against Judge Ben Lind
sey at Denver; the des-
perate search for some
ground for an attack on
Senator Walsh; and the
more recent burglarizing
of the office Of Senator La
Toilette by the agents of
the corruptionists.
THE STAR does not be-
L lieve that the charges
against Senator Wheeler
will stand. We know that
the indictment comes from
Montana, the worst gov
erned state in the Union,
the state where the cor
rupt special interests are
most stoutly intrenched.
We wonder if William J.
Burns and his secret SER
vice had a hand in this as
sault on Wheeler. We Won
der if unseen hands in
Washington city pulled the
strings. We know that at
no time during the senate
Investigations has Burns or
his secret agents ever
turned a hand to help
catch crooks or to get evil
dence against corrupt poll
ticians. We view with
amusement the gloating of
a Seattle evening party
organ over Wheeler's in
dictment.
DUT the facts are not all
ID known. If, when the
truth is learned, it is found
that Wheeler has taken one
cent illegally, that he has
knowingly stepped outside
either the legal or moral
law, then there is no pun
ishment in the law books
strong enough to deal with
him. If he is guilty, we
want him soaked the limit
that the law allows.

Edward J. Hazel Lived on Camp Street and Work for Ma

Edward J. Hazel. the 25 year old youth who shot himself in a New York hotel Thursday leaving a note with the words Failures and sorrows of the past years are the cause of my death today" and signed Fate" had been living in New Britain for the past four months and was employed at the New Britain Machine Co. until Tuesday, when he drew his pay and left their employ.
 Hazel roomed on Camp street while living here and all during the time he was here, he seemed dissatisfied and restless, according to his land lady. She said this morning that he left Thursday for New York, and planned to go to Philadelphia, where. he told her. he had a chum. He evidently went directly from New Britain to the New York hotel where he committed suicide.
 No relatives of the dead man live in New Britain. but he has a brother and sister in Hartford.

Clarence F.

Law was accepted as treasurer and Leon A. Sprague was selected to succeed him.
 It was decided that Mr. Law will continue as treasurer up to the time Of the drive and from that time on Mir. Sprague will take over the work,
 Significant features of the mcting when the next annual budget was considered was the admttance of the Salvation Army unanimously. the dropping out Of the City Mission and the fact that the Visiting Nurse and the Welfare associations asked for lower appropriations than those ap- piled for last year because of q de- crease in expenses due to improved working conditions. and that the Fay Nursery asked for sf.0U0 more be- cause of the increased number of babies.
 Increases were granted to the Girl Scouts and the Junior Achievement foundation and slight increase was voted the Boy Scouts because Of ad- ditional expenses due 10 the increased advancement oi the work.
 Fred 0. RacklifIe, Joseph K. An drews and l.. W. Christ appeared for the Salvation Army and showed that the army had met the requirements imposed by the directors Ut previ- ous meeting, The army has demon- strated its ability to raise enough funds to pay of it's old indebtedness and has surrounded itself with an advisory committee of the proper type of men. The personality and ability Of Ensign Frederickson, who is in charge here, also came in for some favorable discussion and the budget of S4,o2l Was accepted with out a dissenting vote.
 The Visiting Nurse association asked for sG,i0t.75, as compared with sl0,000 asked for last year. This is due to decrease demand for their services when working conditions im- proved and to the fact that the as- sociation has ceedeJ in reducing its own operating expenses.
 The Boys club asked and was granted ss.605. which is practically the same as last year although super tendent Dwight Skinner has great ly advanced the work.
 It was reported that the local churches would finance the City Mis- sion from nov on.
 The Boy scout council was granted t5,00o, an increase of s2D0 over last year, 10 take care of camp expenses and additional activities.
