Contemporary developments in the

Contemporary developments in the
United States show that the most ur-
gent need of this country Is a new
principles. The precepts Of the Chris
tian religion, which most of the worst
sinners profess to believe in. cannot be
improved upon. But morality Is con-
dition Of heart and mode of life, not
a profession. Measured by this stand
ard many American business men have
been and are being proved to be ruth
less savages. Sympathy, according to
the accepted philosophical theory, is one
Of the main roots from which the moral
sense of civilized man has grown. The
moral sense began to be developed when
the untutored cave dweller was first
kept from injuring others by keen
consciousness of the pain which SIM
liar injury would cause himself. Ger
tain American captains of industry
and high financiers' would seem to
lack even rudimentary moral sense,
for no thought Of the mental anguish
and physical suffering they were in
ficting on thousands has restrained
them from crushing competitors by the
most lawless and cruel methods or from
pitilessly robbing the poor and widows
and orphans Of funds placed In their
hands in trust Another Of the chief
roots from which the moral sense Is
considered to have grown is the fear
Of our cave dwelling ancestors that II
they injured others they would be Wis.,
tied with the stern disapprobatiOn of
their fellow tribesmen. They learned
to consider wrong what they knew 9th
ers would treat as wrong. The public
opinion which so powerfully Influenced
the savage may seem to have been par
TALLY imperative in the United States.
But the public as well as the high finan-
ciers has been at fault There has
been more worship Of material success
than is consistent with good morals.
Attending rather to the size OF mems
fortunes than to the way they were
acquired and used the people have en-
couraged rather than restrained the
growth Of the belief that might makes
right in high finance, whatever may be
the correct principle in low finance.
President Hadley Of Yale some time ago
proposed social ostracism as a remedy
for the evils of trusts. His suggestion
has not been treated with deserved Sc
robustness. Ostracism in the widest
sense-Ostracism which would not only
send the possessors of stolen wealth to
prison but would make of all ill-gotten
wealth u social glbbet instead of pedes-
tal--wOuld produce a great moral awak-
ening among the opponents Of high f.
nance hut the moral awakening must
start with the public. When public
opinion as strongly and consistently con-
dennis brigandage by a captain of in
dustry as by members Of the so-called
Clover classes Of society, 1t will speed
lly cease to be widely prevalent.

The Case of Mrs. Morris.

From the Baltimore Sun.
1t may be that Mrs. Morris had no right
to insist upon a hearing by the President
and that she ought to have left the White
House as soon as she was informed that
she could not be received by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Granting this, however, there was certainly
no justification for the harsh and unman-
nerly behavior of the White House attend
ants She was not dangerous person and
there was no reason why she should have
been elected with unseemly violence. If
there is one thing that stirs the hearts of
the American people and arouses their in
dignation above all things, ii is an indig-
nifty to helpless woman. The stronger
sex. whether in official or private station
is expected to treat the gentler and weaker
sex with all possible considera ton and
courtesy. 1t is no exaggeration TO say that
the country has been shocked by the rough
ness and rudeness which were displayed by
White House attaches in the case of Mrs
Morris. President Roosevelt would make
no mistake if he should order a thorough
investigation and when the responsibility
for the outrage has been fixed. relieve
from duty at the White House the men
who subjected Mrs. Morris to needless
indignity. The President ought to be pro-
tected from the opportunities of unwel-
come visitors. but this protection ought to
be provided without ruffianism

The Moroccan Question.

The world is watching the prepare tons
for the Moroccan conference of the powers
at Algeciras with keen interest. The sit
uation is undoubtedly strained. Germany
and France are in a state of war prepared
ness. which OF itself bespeaks apprehen-
sion on both sides lest the conference may
result in disagreement. Whether a dis
agreement in turn means war IS another
question. The attitude Of the other powers
which to be represented at the confer
ence. Italy, England and Spain, is unnlis-
takably pacific, and doubtless all their in
ffuence will be thrown toward an amicable
adjustment Of the issues involved.
The vital question before the conference
is whether France has a special and privi-
legged position III Morocco. Germany de-
MES this claim. 1t is clearly Gernany's de-
sire to break down the French influence
In Morocco and to substitute herself as the
dominant factor. This desire is inspired
by commercial considerations in the main
far the case is disclosed, but 1t is
limited that the kaiser has broad political
program, of which the establishment of
German prestige in Morocco is but a sin
gle feature
1t is hardly conceivable, despite the elabo-
rate and somewhat over ostentatious war
Will reach the point of hostilties They
cannot hope to fight alone. A war between
them would probably precipitate a general
European conflict. The Moroccan question
indeed, IS not so exclusively between
France and Germany as to warrant those
powers in setting up as arbiters of the
peace of Europe on that issue. All three
of the other powers have commercial and
political interests on the south shore of the
Mediterranean. The question is greatly
complicated by the relations between Mo
rocco and Turkey
1t is significant that while France is viz
tually unit in supporting the policy of the
present ministry in resisting Germany s
claims. Germany is far from presenting a
solid front to her antagonist There is a
large and stubborn party of protestants
against all the foreign extension policies Of
the kaiser. and the Morocco episode IS esne-
clal}y distasteful to the socialists who are
numerically strong and increasing in
strength. OF course these German dissen-
sions would Immediately disappear if hos
tilities were once precipitated.

vote of the people. In time that policy will

TOMS steadily making progress, and
wherever employed is giving satisfaction
1t will answer very well until the slow
process Of amending the Constitution en-
ables US to put aside formally a piece of
machinery now pretty thoroughly discredit-
ed. Mr. Williams is understood to be a
candidate for the Senate, and thus commits
himself: to the primary plan in his own
race. This insures canvass of Mississippi
by him and by his rivals, with the senator
ship the issue. and a discussion of national
questions the attraction to draw the people
to the meetings. Such a canvass may be
a little expensive for the aspirants, but the
people are benefited by the opportunity to
take their measure.

The statehood question is on the eve OF
being taken up. There is no reason for de-

ests in Arizona and New Mexico. All the
other phases of the matter have been thor

Consideration for the Superannuated

The Cleveland Plain Dealer In the course
OF an editorial on "superannuated govern
neht clerks, says that the time has come
TO consider ways and means of Kidding the
government departments of the men and
women who have grown old in the service
and can 10 longer render equivalent for
their services. 1t AYERS that the govern
ment Will suffer more and more each year
through carrying these clerks on the rolls

havior. while a certain. amount of promo
ton Is reasonably certain il he displays
any of the qualities that secure promotion
in private life"
While, as The Star has lately pointed
out the government clerks reasonably take
issue with the statement that they are bet
ter paid than similar workers in private
enterprises, they should welcome the COM
parison between themselves and such work
efS III the matter or their treatment when
superannuated" The tendency through
out all lines of up-to-date business today
is to provide decently for the maintenance
OF clerks and other workers who have
spent their best years in service, after they
have reached the point at which they should
retire from active duties. Railroads, bust
ness houses and manufactures are now
being brought to this basis 1t is widely
recognized principle of good business that
fair play and wisdom of management de-
mand the retention of a competent force
of workers on terms which insure respect

The government clerks ask for nothing
more than fair treatment in this respect
They are not leeches, intent upon getting
all they can out of the government and

ing class, and their certainty of tenure dur

lsh the consideration paid to them by the
government. The public service was slow
IN adopting the merit principle which has
always governed in private business, and 1t
is equally slow in providing for the decent
retirement of aged clerks in the same man
ner as workers for unofficial employers.
