The Murder of Auditor Morris
From the Cleveland Leader.


1t is revolving but nevertheless true, ac-
cording to the dispatches from Washing
ton, that some of the clerks in the depart.
ments at Washington commend the brutal
murder of Auditor Frank II. Morris OF the
War Department. These are persons VINO
share the belief that Mr.. Morris was OPP
pressive because he eXacted an honest
days work from the clerks under MS
supervision. That was the only complaint
that was made against him, and that was
the reason why be was stricken down by
an assassin,
Mr. Morris was truly a martyr to the
cause of honesty in the public service, ana
his death ought to lead to shaking up IN
the departments which will serve TO teacn
the ndolent government employees that
something is expected from them oesldes
the mere occupying of their ONCE CHAIRS
and the drawing OF their salaries ON hne
regular pay days.
This is a good time to institute whole
some reform. When Mr.. Morris assumed
the position Of auditor for the navy De-
partment he found the business or his de-
partment two years and half behind.
Within a period of ten months, or there
abouts he had brought all the business up
to date, and he won by his industry and the
exercise of rare executive ability the COM
mendation of the officials of the treasury.
II the administration desires to profit
from the fruits of Mr.. Morris labors, an
executive order should be issued, enforcing
In all the departments the same sort OF
discipline that was maintained In the d.
visions over which Mr.. Morris had super
vision. Let it be understood that hereafter
every clerk or other official in the govern
ment's employ must give an honest days
work for the compensation he receives.
That seems little to ask when II IL remem-
bered that the clerks in the departments
are required to work but six and half
hours a day, and are entitled yearly to q
months vacation with pay and an annual
sick leave Of thirty days with pay-and
every clerk is sick thirty days year, come
what may. Men drawing good salaries
under such conditions have little cause to
complain. and much less cause to exult
over the murder Of superior who COM
PEELED them to give honest service to the

ANNOTATED EDITORIALS FROM THE
STAR.
Inartistic Advertising.
From the Ashland pa Telegram.

rom the Ashland pa Telegram.
Speaking in depreciation OF the custom or
plasterlng the landscape over with insight.
ly, inartistc and vulgar advertising pla-
cards, the Washington Star truthfully says
that the newspaper columns offer today
far better facilities for the announcement
OF trade opportunities and new and old
commodities than ever before. There are
more readers, the art of advertising has
developed to fine point and the readers
have been trained to read and study the
trade notices. There are more newspapers,
too, and the merchant or the manufacturer
with a communication to make to the pub
lie is not compelled to resort to unusual
methods. Success does not necessarily fol-
low those methods. 1t does follow the con-
siStent employment of printers ink. This
is quite apart from the consideration OF
the public which is involved in the obtru-
son of trade announcements on the street
corners. the lamp posts, the waste boxes,
the fences. the sky. the very pavement. 1t
Is not difficult to foresee the time when
an aroused public opinion VIII demand the
enactment of laws to restrict advertise
ments to their proper sphere and to pre-
vent the Disagreement of the landscape and
the municipal utilities.
