Till; C OLOR %|l(l ll* tit it <H. The burning to death at the stake, of the negro John Port* r near Ldmon, Colo rado. on Friday, was mob law in t; worst form. It was a terrible penalty that he paid for his crime and there is no doubt that he deserved itie punishment ttMit was meted out to him. but it Is to bo profoundly regretted that the law was no |*©nri)lttcd to tak© its course It is a question If horrifying punishment* inflict ed by a mob have ad terr* nt effect upon tbos© who are criminally inclined But it Is certain that they have a bad effect upon the communities In which they are In flicted Th© burning of the negro Porter was not for th© purixise of satisfying Justice, but of gratifying a desire for vengeance The footings of the Injured father wer© permitted to dl'tate the punishment. If tho law had been permuted to take it* course Justice would have been done, and Hi© people of Lincoln county would have been more ready and Willing in the fu ture to n*©pcct th© law. Th© horrible lynching lowered their moral standard and prepared them for other scenes of Iftuk^RKS?. When there was a lynching by burning In ihis state, a year or two ago, tt was intimated in many of the Northern papers that such a thing could not have occurr ed anywhere in tide country outride of ih© Mouth. At that time w© took the po sition that it was Just as likely to occur It* a Northern a* a Southern state under Similar conditions. Colorado is a long w y from th© Mouth, and its population is composed largely of Northern people. Th© lynching there was as barbatoils a the on© in this state or the on© in Tex.© . each on© of them being ly fit© And there Is no doubt that If a negro wer© to commit in Ms eachusetts [or New York a crime lik© that committed by Porter, he would b© lynched at the stake if the crowd could succeed in get t ng him away from th© ofllccrs of the law. After this Colorado affair It will not be ihargid in any n©wqsip©r that has a proper regard for the truth that only In me M ui! m a negro • nmuml in danger f being huttxd to death by u mob The truth is ih© civilization of this country t* lhout the Kame in one state a* It 1s in a noth* r.
