Both the Republican and the Rocky
Mountain News of Denver few
days ago published editorials call
ing for the restoration or capital
punishment in Colorado. These
two papers represent opposing polltl-
cal parties. The occasion for this eX-
preston of opinion was the lynching
of Calvin Kimblern at Pueblo. The
News says: The people of Colorado
and the next legislature might as well
face the fact that in the absence OF
capital punishment under the law it Is
inflicted through the angry mob vio-
lence whenever an especially afro
cious crime is committed. When a
whole community, including the ON

,infliction of the death penalty it Is
