By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Sixteen-year-old Franklin Pat
terson lies dead.
He died after firing two shots in
to his own body and a love affair
was the cause.
Omaha is wide-eyed, speculative.
forgiving and condemning of the
boy who took 'his life because of
unrequited love. The cause is be
ing discussed by those who read
and those who knew the Patter
son family and the Yaeger family
the parents of. Francos Yaeger,
his sweetheart.
Some say that modern parents
encourage the "date making" in
their young children who have no
discretion and no judgment. There
is not much defense for such par
ents. Yet, I am wondering if they
are as guilty of committing a sin
in this direction as they are in
omitting to correct tendencies.
Children naturally follow the lead
of their elders. At first they like
the idea of making engagementi
with- children of the opposite se.
Parents smile and tjink this cute.
Sometimes it is. But there is a far
more serious side to life which is
being entirely overlooked.
Franklin was but 16 and there is
no doubt that he loved little 14-year-old
Frances Yaeger a mere
child who should not have been
permitted to "make dates" ' with
anyone.
During the 'teens, we must all
admit, boys and girl, go througn
the most trying period of their
lives. Yet, how few stop to con
sider that these years should have
the most serious consideration of
the parents. They are leaving child
hood to enter manhood and woman
hood. Their minds are veritable
brain-storms. They feel more keen
ly, suffer more intensely, - than at
any other time in their lives.
The average person thinks of a
child according to the years it has
lived. This is the easy way the
way of least menetal resistance, so
parents and the world at large:
take it. .
Franklin Patterson suffered th;
tortures known only to rare souis
at 16, no doubt. Pie deeply loved
little Frances Yaeger, a child who
should be playing with children in
stead of thinking of dates and love
affairs.
Children are not pieces of dough,
but living human beings, souls just
the same as the oldest man or
woman on earth. They should be
given serious consideration and
judged, not by the years they have
lived, but by the thoughts they
think.
Because Franklin Patterson's mind
and heart were far in advance of
his experience and judgment, he
lies dead today and the mourners
cannot bring him back with regrets.
U. P. Manager, Home
from Rail Wage Meet,
Sees Bright Future
YVT M. Jeffers. general manager of
the Union Pacific railroad, returned

Mr. Jeffers would not comment on
the labor conditions as it affects the
railroads.

hearings in Washington.
"Any plans for the Union Pacific
railroad, when it is returned to pri

ture at the present time. We have
all we can do to handle the business
which we have on hand."

High School Is Shrouded
In Gloom Over Boy's Suicide
Central high, school was shrouded
in gloom yesterday over the death of
Franklin 'S. Patterson, 16-year-old
sophomore, 3333 Pine street, who,
Saturday night, shot himself while
attending a stag party of his fel-
lovV-students at the home ot Al
bert Evans, 3015 South'Thirty-third
street. Despondency over an miat
uation for a class-mate, Frances
Yaeger, 14 years old, 2959 Harris
street, is the reason assigned for the
suicide, his intimate friends say.
Patterson's last words as he stag
gered from the room after firing
the fatal shot were: "Tell her I'm
all right." His fraternity brothers
of the Sigma Tau Nu, a high school
organization, who were present at
the. party, held him as he gasped
the words.
Funeral services will be held at 2
tomorrow afternoon at Stack &
Falconer's undertaking parlors.
Burial will be in West Lawn. Six
members of the boy's class will act
as pall-bearers.
