A most damaging effect is produced
upon any mining camp by the reputation

During the past few months several cases
Of petty thieving have been reported. en-
bracing everything from preserves and

picks, 'shovels, and other stun was stolen

The irst thing the 18th General A.

The first thing the 18th General A.
eembly ought to do would be to re-enact
the law providing for capital punishment.
The present law, with the eurroundines
at the state capitol. provides for what u
put an indeterminate sentence for mur-
der, no matter how unprovoked and
brutal it may have been, and should BE-
repealed. II the individual who COM
mitted the murder in this city on Sunday
had known that the hauRman's rope wns
dangling for him he would have hcsitated.
Tho person sentenced to life imprison-
raent has always the hope that springs
eternal in the human breast and the
prospects Of pull" with some venal or
sentimental pardon's board. Tho COM
mon law OF the Bible is superior to tho
gush and pathos of 81 day legislator.
-Leddriiie Herald Democrat.
Even in cases Of premeditated murder
expert testimony reveals that the crimi-
nal places no stress upon the degree Of
punishment possible. but rather upon
the escape of the laws minions. The
"Hangman's rope dangling for him" may
deter a sane man from crime, but not tho
soul clouded with the frenzy Of murder
in the heart about which 1t hovsrs. No
common law Of the Bible" b sdverss 10
the present Colorado law. "THou SHALT
NOT KILL" A law providing capital
punishment did not prevent Martin
Thornes awful crime, nor save the life Of
Blanche Lamont or Minnie Williams.
Holmes, the arch-demon, never quavered
because the hangman's rope dangled.
Capital punishment belongs to the dark
ages and to Spain, Remove the snr-
roundings at the state capitol, but do
not condemn just law.
