WHEELER AS PROSECUTOR AND
DEFENDANT
‘T"rame-up", shouts Senator Whoe’
er, of Montana, in answer to an in
dictment returned against him by a
Montana grand jury. His first move is
* %to rise in the senate on a question of
personal privilege and give his life his
tory adequately embellished with per
sonal tributes, and to cry out that en
emies whom he has sought to punish
in the line of his duty are trying to
crucify him.
An indictment is not a conviction
and Senator Wheeler is entitled to his
day in court. That is more than he
has been willing to grant some of his
political opponents at the national cap
itol. Wheeler is chairman of the spec
ial committee which is investigating
former Attorney General Daugherty.
He has manifested a spirit of unfair
ness and vindictiveness that has done
much to negative what may have been
brought out against the former attor
ney general. When counsel for Daugh
erty asked permission to cross-exam
ine witnesses and introduce testimony
to disprove assertions of the “prose
t
1
cutor’s” witnesses, they were inform- •
■ ed that '‘great amounts of silence”,
j were expected from them. Ihe attor
I jiQy general was driven from oitice ^
without an opportunity to be heard by
the Wheeler committee of to intro
duce evidence in his own defense.
However unfit Daugherty may have
been—and while it was shown con-,
! plusively that some of the company he j
i kept was not to his credit—he was en-:
I titled to more that that at the hands i
! of Wheeler and his committee on in-:
; quisition.
The Montana senator faces a grave
charge—as did Daugherty. The for-;
eral penal code provides among other
things that if any senator “after his j
election and either before or after he j
is qualified, and during his continu
ance in office” shall in any way re
!
I
ceive compensation for services ren- :
dered for himself or another in rela- j
tion to any contract, claim, controver- j
sy, charge, accusation or arrest in j
which the United States is a party he i
shall be guilty of a crime and fined ]
not more than ten thousand dollars j
and imprisoned not more than two
years. Wheeler is charged on three ;
counts with accepting money after he j
was elected and before he was quali-j
fied for his services to influence the
granting of oil and gas prospecting
permits in matters pending before the
department of the interior. It is alleg
ed that he received two sums of $2,
000 each and one sum of an unknown
amount. One permit involved is assert
ed to have had a value of $160,000.
Senator Wheeler denies the grave
charge—as did Daugherty. He may be
guilty—as was Daugherty; or he may
be innocent—as was Daugherty. The
senate has voted to investigate on its
own account, apart from the court ac
tion in Montana. Will the investiga
ting committee tell Wheeler and his
attorneys that “great amounts of sil
ence” are expected of them—as were
Daugherty and his counsel; or will he
be given the opportunity he denied
Daugherty, of defending himself be
fore the investigators?
I JANUS SMUTS, premier of South
! Aprica, is described as filling the fa
miliar “position of a prophet less hon
ored in his own country than else
where.” The South African Premier
apparently is on the verge of his
political downfall. He was prominent
during the war and was one of the
: authors of the league of nations. He
i was a particularly strong supporter
and co-worker of the late President
j Wilson. Since the famous post-war
! days at Versailles, Clemenceau, Wil
| son, Lloyd George, Orlando, and all
; the other notables have met with the
! same political fate at the hands of
j their countrymen. If Smuts is next he
i need not repine, for he is one of the
last to fall from the heights of con
I temporary popularity.
