The Valley of Fear

Why did Morris go against killing James Stanger in Valley of Fear Playscript?

McGinty and the Scowrers are planning to kill James Stanger, the editor of the Vermissa Herald newspaper, but Morris, an unwilling Scowrer, doesn't want to muder James. Why is that so???

From the text:

“I protest against that,” said Brother Morris, the man of the good brow and shaved face. “I tell you, Brethren, that our hand is too heavy in this valley, and that there will come a point where in self-defense every man will unite to crush us out. James Stanger is an old man. He is respected in the township and the district. His paper stands for all that is solid in the valley. If that man is struck down, there will be a stir through this state that will only end with our destruction.”
