Newark's Atonement.

Something over a year ago the whole coun-
try was shocked by the excuses of mob that
broke loose In the city OF Newark O.
Scr this mob there was none of those ex-
cuses which explain, II they do not condone.
tho mob spirit in community profoundly
stirred by some brutal crime. The rioting was
started by the lawless elements who were en-
ragged only because Of certain efforts of the
Ant-Ssioon League to enforce the moderate
liquor laws upon the statute books OF the
State.
The first victim Of the mob was Carl Ethring-
ton. a citizen of kentucky He had committed
no crime. he had wronged no aw-abiding per-
sol. his only onense was that he had aided 4
law and order society to secure evidence or
violations of the law. Nevertheless, mob of
criminals. backed, as subsequent revelations
showed. by the sworn peace officers OF the
county took Burlington and put him to death
under circumstances OF peculiar atrocty and
later committed other excuses that would have
disgraced a mob in the dark ages
AS far the Evening Post Is informed these
criminals found but one apolosist-the Louis
Vile Courier Journal and Mr. Henry Watterson.
The fact that the murdered man had been
associated with the Anti-Saloon League was
enough for Mir. Watterson and the Newark
mob found in the Courier Journal champion.
but everywhere else there was Indignation In
the end the peace officers Of Newark whose
conduct made the mob possible, were removed
by tho Governor. Criminal prosecutions fol-
lowed and the results of these summed up
In recent editorial In the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. under the caption "Newark's Atone
ment" follows:
Eleven men sent to the penitentiary one
convicted but not yet sentenced. one acquitted.
one yet to he tried one missing-none shall
say that Newark failed to respond to the de-
mand that she atone, far possible, for
the lynching of year ago last July. The
record is notable. 1t deserves to be written
in the history OF the State opposite the story
cf Carl Ethrington's brutal murder
Newark has, indeed, atoned, and nobly. for
this mob. The liquor laws are better en-
forced In that community to-day than any
time in twenty years; the peace officers who
handed the city to q mob have been driven
