Press Defes President.

Washington Cor Philadelphia Ledger.
Mrs Morris. who was forcibly elected
from the White House, is still confined 10
her bed and her condition Is practcaily
unchanged.
Discussion of the case continues Inter
est at the Capitol today centered mainly on
the revelation yesterday of the attempt
made by the White House to influence
newspaper treatment of the Morris matter
Tonight The Star prints number OF ex-
tracts from newspapers throughout the
country in regard to the press censorship
existing here. The Baltimore News whlch,
like other Baltimore papers, cfrculates mere
just as the Washington papers do, prints
similar extracts on its editorial page. Inc
Star says editorially tonight:
THE White House officials, from the
President down. should remember that
slavery was abolished more than forty
years ago, and that even the despised news
paper man is not subject to the crack OF
the plantation whip
1t also gives prominence to letter from
q woman urging all women to send letters
of thanks to Representative Sheppard for
his defense "of American motherhood and
American womanhOod
The action of the Washington papers in
thus defying the President is the more re-
markable because The Star has always
been one of the strongest Roosevelt papers
in the country, and the Post has never peen
unfriendly to him. Sentiment in the city
is universally on the side of the newspapers,
dent endeavored to control, had been en-
tirely fair, and had simply reported the
facts.
The talk at the Capitol was to the effect
that the President, in thus indicating to
The Star his displeasure with it's reports,
had for the first time definitely ranged HIM
self on Mr.. Barnes side, and given the
stamp of his approval to that ofhcial's
mode of dealing with Mrs. Morris.
Consequently the matter assumed consid-
cradle Importance in the Capitol gossip, and
it was generally agreed that Mr.. Sheppard's
resolution could not now be passed without
putting the House in the attitude Of criti-
cising the President himself as well as his
secretaries and subordinates.
The President is reported to view with
concern the result of his latest attempt to
intervene in newspaper offices. and to be
unable to understand why 1t has attracted
so much attention. For years he has been
in the habit of securing the removal of
newspaper men, merely for the reason that
their publication of the facts was diStaste-
full to him, but in this case he has not con-
tented himself with trying to secure the
dismissal of a reporter, but has nterfered
directly with the management of a news
paDer.

no intention to ignore the members OF Con-
gress or control the work Of newspaper
men, but their statements failed to impress
Mr.. Roosevelt's critics.
1t was explained to the Presidents In
quiring friends that 1t was felt Mr. Roose-
velt, while processing to remove the "muz-
zle'' which he had placed on the press and
members Of the cabinet In September. had
really kept 1t on, and that there was a con-
cealment of news In the various depart
ments unheard of since the days of the
civil war.
This had been regarded by the repre-
sentatives Of the press as direct attempt
by the President to impair the usefulness
of the profession.
Proof that this had become an admin
istration of secrecy was given. 1t was
pointed out that although officials were
almost daily removed for Irregularities, no
information was ever given There was
Tightening up of news in the depart
ments so that some special correspondents
in distant cities were on the point of ask
ing their home offices to recall them.

President Cannot Ignore It.
Washington Corr. New York Evening Post.


AS the case stands at present there Is a
local feeling of repressed indignation tnat
such an occurrence has been possible rlgnt
at the door of the Presidents office. Whlle
there is a desire on some SIDES not 10
give the unpleasant story any further arr
ing there is more widespread conviction
that the incident is of such nature and
has been repeated SO fully to every part
of the country that the President cannot
afford to ignore it. He has been espe-
cially solicitous recently about the brutal
ity which comes to men who play foot ball,
even though they are specially trained 1or
it and artificially' protected. Other forms
of brutality in greater degree, such as
lynching, have had his heart!est condem-
nation 1t is felt that his chivalry IN de-
Tense of womankind in general will not per-
init him to keep silent under puDIic ar

The President Surprised.

Washington Correspondence New York Herald
President Roosevet's friends have had
their eyes opened by the case of Mrs.
Morris, sister of Representative Hull of
Iowa, who was elected from the White
House last week. to a serious state of af-
fairs affecting the operations of the adj
ministration, of which the President has
been In ignorance, but which is believed
net.
When Mrs Morris was dragged through
the White House grounds every newspaper
in the country printed an account of the
closest friends of the administration went
further than Others of independent lean
ings in depicting the cruelty of the arrest.
and In rejecting on the White House en-
ployes and on the President Unfriendly
papers We'd with one another in treating
the case in its most sensational aspects
so as to reflect on Mr.. Roosevelt
AT the same time from senator's and
representatives who had been supposed to
be on the most friendly terms with the
President were heard expressions of severe
criticism of Mr.. Roosevelt, his cabinet and
his secretaries, and, indeed. of all those
closely associated with the President
Not until then did the information reach
the White House that there was a senti-
ment existing in Washington of hostility to
the President, where a few months ago
there existed only the most friendly feel
ing. Inquiries were instituted by friends OF
the Precedent as to what 1t all meant.
The result was surprising. These friends
were told leading senators and represen-
tatives were feeling that they had been
ignored and belittled by the President
who felt that he need not consult them.
They were also told that most OF the
writer's OF the press felt that the Presi-
dent was distinctly hostile to them and

could control It.

But if it had been thought necessary to
bring the matter to the attention of the

In writing, or why could not DR.. Norris

President? The business concerned DIR. Nor

right than the man to make demands. She

Imperialism at the White House.

From the Boston Traveller
1t would be unfair, of course, to hold the
President directly responsible for the brutal
fashion in which Mrs. Minor Morris was
handled by the White House servants and
police. But 1t is impossible not to wonder
whether the increased pomp and circum-
stance which have marked President Roose-
velt's sojourn in the White House may
not be indirectly responsible for 1t. Under
the regime of republican simplicity which
used to prevail in the Executive Mansion
some other way would have been found of
inducing even an insistent woman to retire
than the ignoble resorted to. The
guards in the palace of the car could hard
ly have been more severe.

MI. Sheppard and the President.


Mr.. Sheppard's attempt to make it APP
pear that the present occupant of the pres1-
dency bears toward woman any feelings
save those of the highest respect and honor
is unlikely to make deep impression In
any quarter.
That the occurrence which Mr.. Sheppard
used as an excuse for this slap at the
President most regrettable and practi-
cally inexcusable does not justify the at
tempt to make Mr. Roosevelt seem respon-
sible for it. The offense was not committed
in his presence, or by his order, or with
his consent or approval. An employe lack
ing tact and self-control, perhaps afflicted
with the big head, subordinates obliged TO
obey his orders, a too persistent applicant
for a hearing-it Is not necessary to drag
the Presidents name in to explain the re-
suit of such combination. 1t would be
as foolish to do so as it would be to hold the
entire House of Representatives response
BILE for the insulting manner in which Rep
resentatiye Beeman G. Dawes, one of Mr..
Sheppard's colleagues in the national legis-
lature, was treated when he attempted to
enter the chamber Monday afternoon.
Yet there is no denying that government
tai bouncership proved a failure at the
White House last week.

Universally Condemnatory.

Washington Correspondence Houston Post'
Almost the sole topic of conversation IN
Washington today has been the election
of Mrs Minor Morris, a sister of Repre-
sentative Hull of Iowa. from the White
House offices yesterday. The sentiments ex-
pressed are almost universally critical and
condemna tory, not only of those response
BILE for the manner in which Mrs. Morris
was handled, but of her brother, who not
ONLY failed to come to the Woman's assist
ance, but permitted himself to be inter-
viewed in the morning papers in way
that materially reflected on her. He took
the precaution of being absent from the
city all day today.
Tonight there is considerable talk of an
investigation based on the apparent ten
dency to employ at the White House meth
DDS common to royal courts. Many of the
assertions made by Assistant Secretary
Barnes In the official statement issued to-
day are fatty contradicted, not only by
Mrs. Morris, but by eye witnesses of the
whole affair. Mr.. Barnes is quite popular
and his connection with the incident Is
generally deplored.
