that the future American will repre-
sent change He may be taller or
shorter or thinner OF fatter than the
American of today, but there is moth
ing in the existing state of society
and we use society In its broad SENSE
to indicate that he will not be better

based largely on the evident determi-
nation of the American Of today to
leave our institutions and our Ideals

wants his children to have better ed

to secure. He wants to have his chill
dren live in a community Of higher
standards and ideals than he has; he
wants betterment in local. state and
national conditions. and the result of
the want will be improvement and a
demand by his children for still great
er improvement.-St Paul Pioneer

JEALOUSY THOUGHT
CAUSE OF CRIME
Mystery Of Death of Oregon
Man Deepens---Suspect
May Prove AIibi.

JACKSONVILLE. Ore. May 23.-
That love for a woman may have
been the cause of the death Of Jesse
Thrasher, the Jacksonville boy, who
was found dead in his bunk at Ayers
Spur on May 8, is the clew on which
the authorities are now working.
Mabel Putnam, believed by the au-
thorities to be "the woman In the
case" disappeared with her father
and mother from the lumber camp
three days after the trsgedy became
known.
Edward Davidson, known to have
been a rival of the dead youth for
the love of Mabel Putnam, was taken
into custody by the authorities, pend
ing an investigation into the circum.
stances OF Thrasher's death. Thrash
er's skull was crushed by a heavy
oak club.
Davidson had been instrumental in
securing the arrest of "a gang OF
Greek section hands on a charge oi
numbering Thrasher, but there was
no evidence on which to hold the
Greeks, and they were released
A reward of $3.50 has been offered
for the arrest and conviction of the
slayer of young Thrasher. The coun
ty authorities have offered $3.50, the
mill company for which Thrashel
worked $3.50, and the parents Of the
dead boy $3.50.
