SENATOR BURTON'S
REFORMATION

eph Il. Burton, of Kansas, will
step out of the federal prison al
Ironton, Missouri, after having
served six months in that institu.
tion for u crime against the govern.
ment. Burton says he proposes to
make a new start and disclose some
interesting things concerning the
government at Washington and the
source Of the grease which makes
the old wagon run without creak-
ing. Doubtlessly the senator could
give some very interesting facts
if he felt so inclined, but if his
motives be revenge for the punish
ment which has been meted out 10
him the public will have little
faith In his statements. On the
other hand, should the disclosures
be made in spirit Of repentance,
III an honest desire to enlighten the
people with hope of correcting
existing conditions, then will the
people give an attentive ear and
then will Senator Burton have CIV
III evidence that his recent exper-
icnce has proven of benefit to him
and he has indeed reformed.
Senator Burton says that since
he began his sentence of six months
lie has received encouraging letters
and prolfers of assistance from
many of his friends. The helping
hand has been extended to the con-
Wet and his heart has been glad
dened and encouraged. The whole
world has not turned its back upen
him because he has been confined
in a penal institution. lie believes
that at least some of the people
believe ip him and have confidence
in his beng able TO regain at least
part Of the ground he has lost. g.
In Ills own eyes and i'll the eyes of
these who have confidence in him.
Burton will step forth from the
penitentiary walls q man purged of
the sins he committed against the
government, in so far as reparation
can be made by the individual.
The remedy which has been APP
piled to Senator Burton has like
wise been applied many times to
men who have been guilty Of les
ser offenses, even more severely
than in Senator Burton's case
In many. il not all Of these in
stances the encouragement has
been witheld. There are not ex-
pressions OF confidence and the
man has made his exit from the
prison or workhouse cnly to find
almost every avenue closed to him
Many q man who has been convict
I'd of lesser crimes have spent
longer times behind prison walls
and have come out with II mark
upon them which has proven in
delible and which has barred them
from honorable pursuits. If Sena-
tor Bmton's experience can only
be made to impress the people of
this country with the fact that
charity should be shown to all
those who have been unfortunate
in being caught in their crimes, and
that a word OF encouragement and
n helping hand is needed to bring
about their reformation, then w,1
Senator Burton have done n great
on service than in starting q news
