DISINHERITING A CHILD.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

DISINHERITING A CHILD.
Some years ago the father of min
lister disinherited his son because the
latter changed his denominational
creed, quit one church and went into
the ministry of another.
By the recent death of his mother
this minister received the share of the
estate to which he was originally ell
titled.
The incident raises the query:
Has any father the moral right to
disinherit a child?
Which raises another query, Who
is responsible for the child's being in
the world? Certainly the child came
without its own consent. 1t was not
consulted. 1t Is not responsible for its
birth.
Manifestly the parents are RESPONSE
BILE The child comes into the family
by invitation. 1t is entitled to all the
rights and privileges of the family.
Whatever estate may be accumulated
belongs to the entire family. Each
child is entitled to a share, and justice
dictates that the property be divided
equitably.
1t matters not what the child may
have done. 1t cannot disinherit itself.
The fact Is our inheritance laws
need reformation. Those laws had
their origin in the old English juris-
prudence which recognized not only
the right but the duty of the father to
practically disinherit all the children
of the family save the eldest.
Our laws ought to be changed to cor
respond with the moral sense of our
day. IN
A man may say: ..
1.-THE property hold is mine. have
made it. have conserved it. Shall L
not do as like with mine ownP'
The man is mistaken The property,
in the true sense, is NOT his own. The
property Is simply held by him IN
the head. He has no more MORAL
RIGHT to divert any legitimate share
of that property from any member of
the family than he has to spend that
property in riotous living.
And yet
Every little while one hears of some
father who has disinherited his child
because the child happens to differ on
some point Of religion or politics or
business or who marries against the
fathers wishes. or any number OF In
consequential things.
1t is not right. 81
1t Is wicked.

San Francisco, February 27, 1867.
Dear Sir: hand you herewith
a file of papers covering the move
ment of fuel oil shipped by the AS
sociated Oil Company over our line
from January /, 1906, up to and in
cluding November Is, 1906.
1--WE agreed with the Associated
Oil Cos. negotiations with Mr.. Rip
ley, Mr.. Wells, and myself, that in
consideration of their making us a
special price on oil for company use
which is covered by contract, and
the further consideration that we
would take a certain quantity, they
would in turn ship from Bakersfield
over our line to San Francisco Bay
points a certain minimum number of
barrels of fuel oil at rate of 25 cents
per barrel from Bakersfield, exclusive
of the switching charge.
"These statements cover the move
ment, except that they have included
Stockton, which is not correct, as 1t
Is not a bay point and could not be
reached as conveniently by water.
We have paid them on account Of this
movement $7,239 which should be
deducted from the total of move
thousands of innocent stockholders
ment shown in the attached papers.
~ wish you would arrange to make
up staement, check the same, and
refund to the Associated Oil Company

barrel from Bakersfield where they
are the shippers, regardless of who

: The President"

Dear Mr.. President: | understand
that Mr.. Ripley. of the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe Railway sys-
TEN has commented with some sever
ity upon your attitude toward the
payment of rebates by certain trans
continental railroads and that he has
declared that he personally never
knew anything about any rebates
being granted by his road. I
inclose you herewith copy of letter
from Edward Chambers, general
freight traffic manager of the Atch-
ison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway
system, to Mr.. G.. A. Davidson, aud
itor of the same company, dated
February 27, 1907.
This letter does not deal with in
terstate shipments, but the constitu-
tion of the state of California makes
the payment of rebates by railroads,
a felony, and Mr. Ripley has appar-
emily not been above the commission
of crime to secure business. You are
at liberty to use this inclosure in
anyway that you think It can be OF
service to yourself or the public. '

is the consignee, as all their fuel oil
making this deal in addition to what
have stated Is that the Associated
OIL Company have their own boats
and carry oil from fields controlled
by themselves along the coast near
San Luis Obispo to San Francisco at
a much lower cost than the special
rate we have made them and in COM
petition with the Union Oil company
and the STANDARD Oil company, it was
necessary for them to sell at the San
Francisco Bay points on the basis
of the cost of water transportation
from the coast fields. They figured
they could only afford to pay us the
25 cents per barrel If by doing this
they sold our company a certain
amount of fuel oil, otherwise the busi-
ness covered by the attached papers
would have come in by boat from the
coast fields.

so that here may be In the papers
a history of the reasons why this

would go ahead and make the adjust
ment as soon as possible, as the Asso-
ciated Oil company are very anxious

Mr.. William F. Vahlberg, Oklahoma
Oity. Okla, writes:
lone bottle of Peruna which have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of cafarrh of the
stomach. than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
II had given up hopes of relief, and
only tried Peruna as Il last resort.
II shall continue using it, as 1 feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and
permanent cure.
'Imost cheerfully recommend Peruna
to all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been used.
Sanitariums have been visited. Travel
has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is
found.
This history is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year. 1t is
such results as this that gives Peruna
its unnssailable hold upon the people.
We could say nothing that would add
force to such testimonials as the above.
That people who have had catarrh and
have tried every other remedy avail
able. find relief in Pcruna, constitutes
the best argument that could be made.
