PAID DEBT OF SIN.
A brave Californian wbo Gave His
Life tn Atone for Hts
Fathers Theft.

When five years ago, William Jack
son. OF Redding, Cal, was sent To prison
for cmbezzling $4,000, his son, then "a
boy IN college, vowed never to rest un-
til he should pay the criminal debt.
Last April hc paid it-not In money,
but with HE life. All over California
they are talking Of the honor and
bravery of the boy who gave his life TO
his country TO wipe out the stain Of his
fathers crime.
The elder jackson was treasurer of
Shasta county. lie was known IA
Honest Isill Jackson" The public con-
Rdence In him was M great that cit
lien all over the country gave bin their
private money for safekeeping. onedny
$4,000 of the public money was stolen
from him. To cover up his cnrclessncss
he resortcd to gambling to make the loss
good From this time Honest Blll's"
descent was appallingly rapid. He be-
came o gambler, drunkard, and final
~ thief. When his son was a soph-
omore In college he was convicted and
sentenced.
The family felt the disgrace with
painful keenness. most Of all the boy
who bore his fathers name. His fur
thef work in college was inspired by
one idca-io prepare himself for repay
ing the stolen $4,000. When the war
broke out an i,len came TO him. In the
event of his own possible failure ns a
business man the $4,000 could not he
paid. 4 surer why would be 10 enter
the army. II he should die, he reasoned,
the offering OF his life would constitute
nm aioncmcnt. n he should live he
would have proven that he was not n
coward and would be better able to pay
the debt that haunted him.
So he became Trooper jackson, sailed
away 20 Manila. and fell fatally in
jured at Malolos on the 2ad Of April.
Not. however, before he Ind proven
himself brave man. Those who knew
him say tho debt WINS more than paid.
