The following from the Memphis
Commercial Appeal is SO thorough.
in accord with what the Ghaphic De.
Heves and has editorially asserted
that it is reprinted herewith:
Among the several morals which
find bloody emphasis in the tragedy
detailed il the news columns tbs
morning, there is ane which is apt
to escape the cast. eader.
Mrs. Miller is dead. Theories can
not restore her to life. Moralizing
can not alter the tragic facts. But,
in the light of what was known. or
should have been known to the police,
the question suggests itself, would
from the Kansas City department in
the papers yesterday morning have
averted the tragedy"
Certainly no harm could have been
done. 1t would not have interfered with
the work of the department; it would
not have withered one leaf of laurel
upon the brow of any officer; there
was no possible good to be subserved
by denying the information to the
press, while high sense of official
obligation should have inspired the
greatest publicity as warning to
the poor woman, whose cruel murder
adds another crimson page to the
annals of local crime.
It is reasonable to infer that Mrs.
Miller read the papers. If she did not,
she has friends. perhaps, relatives
who did. The fact that her husband.
whom she was suing for divorce, bent
upon her murder, and openly vowing
vengeance, was about to depart on his
mission of murder, should have been
made known to her, if not by the po-
lice, at least by the papers.
That Mrs. Miller was expecting her
husband and anticipating trouble, is
shown by the allegations in her di-

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We offer a suggestion 10 a number
of our corresponding friends. who oc-
caslonally complain that they do not
find their communications IN the Deser-
ct News, particularly the semi-Weekly
issue. 1t is that before they expend
time, trouble, paper ana ink as to the
alleged appearance Of their letters.
they carefully go over the columns Of
the paper TO see whether they are right
or not, before they 30 ahead. We can
not take the time and trouble to an
swer letters Of that kind, after finding
that the writer's are mistaken and
have been careless In their reading.
II should be understood, too, that II
takes time for communications to reach
us, and that very often they arrive
too late for insertion In the News at
the date expected. Also that, frequent
~ letters published IN the Daily are
crowded out OF the ensuing number of
the seml-Weekly.
While touching on this subject, we al
so have complaint or two to make.
Sometimes our correspondents refer to
some incident previously written about
and with which they are thoroughly
familiar, supposng that It figures with
as much Importance to US as 1t did to
them, and that we will surely remember
all about 1t. They therefore, allude to
II without giving particulars, leaving
US and many Of our readers to wonder
what II Is all about. other writer's
omit the date and the name Of the place
from which they write, and sometimes
their own names, supposing we Will
recognize their handwriting. They
should reflect little on these matters,
and perceive that In the mass of corr
respondence received. we cannot be ex-
pected to remember many details that
are with us things OF the past.
Notwithstanding the many notices
given by the News and other papers,
that anonymous communications will
receive no attention, we almost daily
receive letters signed "a Subscriber"
"A Constant Reader" "a Friend" or
some similar nom de plume, without
any indication as TO the source OF the
letter, Such missves are Immediately
dumped into the waste basket.
IL we were TO write replies by letter
TO all the queries propounded to us.
there would be no time left for us to
perform any work on the "News." viii
our friends everywhere please take no.

SECRETARY HAYS NOTE

The diplomatic note OF Secretary Hay
to the European powers, on their duty
toward the prosecuted Jews in Rou-
mania, must be considered In the light
Of the present condition of the He
brews In many countries In Europe.
Formally II may be aimed at the wrong
evident in the little Balkan state,
but in fact It strikes at an evil Of
which some of the greater powers are
as guilty as Is Roumana. This gives
peculiar significance TO the note, and
It IS hoped that II will really mark an
important step in the general liberation
Of the Jews,
This sentiment, II is said, is COM
menclng to spread In England, and for
several reasons. IN the first place. It
has been found that the immigration
OF Jews TO Great Britain. from the
countries where oppression RACES. is
about TO become as much OF a problem
there. as 1t Is, according to Secretary
Hay, here, Several remedies have been
proposed, all looking to the assimlla-
ton Of the Jews with the rest Of the
population; but the Jews do not assm-
Hate; they have no desire 10 become
lost in the nations among whom they
dwell. There Is. as Mr.. Herr repeated
ly has stated, no other solution Of the
so-callcd Jewish difficulty than the
recognition Of Jews as a people and the
finding by them Of legally recognized
home, to which Jews IN those parts of
the world in which they are oppressed
would naturally migrate for they
would arrive there as citizens just be-
cause they are Jews. and not as aliens.
This would mean the diverting, to some
extent, Of the stream OF emigration from
England and America, where they are
liable to become a trouble and bur
den, to a land where the true interest
would be served by accommodating as
many as poseibe.
In the second place, It Is recognized -
England that the trade Of a resurrect-
cd Palestine in the hands Of prosper
GUS people, would be well worth con.
trolling. Consular reports from the
Holy Land show that the trade is ex
nquding. Jana oranges, for instance.
