The Inevitable Comment.

Washington Cor Springfield Republican.
The indignation generally expressed over
the rough election of Mrs Minor Morris
from the executive building and White
House grounds Thursday can only be
explained by general local irritation at the
administration. There is no question, how
ever but that the election was little short
of an outrage. Several newspaper men VINO
witnessed the incident are unanimous In
calling it an outrage. and they fatty con-
tradict in several particulars and IN no
complimentary terms, the published White
House statement of the affair. The thing
appears to have been wholly unnecessary,
as It would seem that the first promptlngs
of woman sense would have been to let Mrs.
Morris, who, it is asserted, was by no
means violent, remain seated until she got
tired of waiting. Certainly there was no
excuse whatever for dragging her clear
across the width of the White House
grounds. The inevitable comment is; Like
master like man." and that, while no one
would accuse the President of favoring such
treatment, domineering, impulsive spirit
for which he is responsible, pervades the
establishment and found expression in TINS
incident The affair is also fneXphcable
and unfortunate in that Secretary Barnes
who was directly responsible, is especially
noted. to all who have occasion to visit the
executive offices, for his quiet courtesy

The Press Censorship.

Special to the New York World.
WASHINGTON, January S.-President
Roosevelt, who put the screws successfully
on one or two newspapers after he estab-
lished his press censorship. got a rude jolt
when he tried it on the Washington Star.
There We're half dozen reporters at the
White House when Mrs. Minor Morris was
elected last Thursday, including one for
The Star and one for the World. The Star
man, like the World man and every other
reporter there, wrote exactly what he saw.
These accounts did not agree with the off,
cial statement given out by Sefretary
Barnes.
On Saturday SecretaryLoeb called in The
Star man and told him that the published
accounts of the Mrs. Morris episode had
been very Objectionable to everybody in
the White House, from the President down.
On Sunday the Washington Post had an
editorial condemning the President for his
attitude toward the newspapers, and as
sorting that "a substantial censorship
exists"

Deep Resentment of the Press.

There is deep resentment on the part Of
the newspaper men at the White House at
the statement of Mr.. Barnes. 1t was sur
prise to them that he would deny occur
rences which they saw and he did not. The
statement was prefaced with 'in view of
the inaccurate statements appearing in the
press concerning the case of Mrs. Minor
Norris" etc The truth of the matter is
there is not a very cordial relation between
MeSsrS. Loeb and Barnes and the news
say that as a rule they are not cordially
and fairly treated. They say that they are
not the only ones that the case of the
treatment of this lady is but an example of
the manners which prevail at the White
House now.

LAST NIGHTS STORM
BALMY WEATHER PROMISED FOR
TOMORROW.

The first real touch of winter that wasu-
ington has experienced came yesterday al
ternoon. 1t was borne along on q brisk
and icy north wind. Soon after noon the
temperature commenced to go down the
scale, and its descent was rapid until about
450 O'Clock, when a driving storm Of snow
and sleet set in This fall caused a tenn
porary check in the toboggan slide that the
mercury in the thermometers had entered
Upon, and the temperature for a time re-
manned stationary.
Prof. Garriott had predicted for The Star
earlier in the afternoon that there would
be drop of twenty degrees and his pre-
diction was verified, for after the fall OF
sleet and snow had ceased the tempera-
ture continued to descend until it reached
the minimum of sixteen degrees, being the
lowest thermometric reading this winter.
While the fall of snow itself was not
heavy, 1t was accompanied by disagreeable
features-the sleet and gusty blasts or
wind. In the early twilight 1t caught
workingmen after leaving their places or
employment and caused them to hurry
homeward.
