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

Some years ago the father of a min
lister disinherited his son because the
latter changed his UNCONVENTIONAL
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 en-
titled
The incident raises the query:
Has any father the moral right to
disinherit 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 rot 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.
| A man may say:
THE property / hold is mine I have
made it. l have conserved it. Shall
not do as l like with mine own?''
The man is mistaken. The property.
in the true sense, is NOT his own. The
property is simply held by him IN
TRUST for the family of which he is
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 disinherfted 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
1t is wicked

thing will be over after one brief bal-
lot"
Has any importan delegation coms
over to you lately?" Charles was asked.
but he was apparently too busy to
answer However, a man working at
his elbow said;
There is a constant breaking away
of one and two delegates from delega-
tions here and there. Putting Gufey
over the transom made our candidate
many friends"
Former Representative John J. Lentz
of Ohio made speeches all the way from
Kansas City to Denver, according to the
Ohio delegates. At every stop Of the
train Mr.. Lentz mounted a box or
truck and addressed the crowd at the
depots along the route.
At one station some wag tried to
pull the truck out from under him. but
Mr.. Lentz kept right on going. AS a
result he was roundly congratulated
on his ability to stand a moving
platform. and a vice presidential boom
is the result
AS determined speechmaker Mr..
Lentz never had an equal Down at
Hamilton, O.. once he made one speech
so long that his auditors cried out in
dismay: Dry up! Get the hook" etc.
Mr.. Lentz stood the racket for an hour.
when he finally cried out:
If you chaps don't want to listen to
my speech. for heavens sake let me
listen to It"
There have been a good many iron
money" stories circulated in Denver
since the convention began, but none
quite so strenuous as the story cir
culated about Joe" Cassiday Of Far
Rockaway, y y Far Rockaway sug-
gests oysters but the New Workers
have not been as mum as oysters lin
spreading the story on Cassidy It
appears in the story as told that Cas-
siday hadr been springing $50 and $50
bills on a certain Denver dispenser Of
liquid refreshments until that gentle
man got tired of the game, He went
to a good friend Of Cassidy and en-
gagged him to set up a job on CASH
day.
This friend persuaded Cassiday, who
was more or less nettled at the cool
and calm manner with which his finan-
cfal onslaughts had been met, to put all
his money in a $1,000 bill and pass it
over the counter. 1t was made plain
to Cassidy what a real joke this would
be-on the other fellow, Cassidy bit.
Walking into the place. Cassidy
bought a round for several friends and
rendered the $1,000 bin in payment
Give the gentleman his change"
said the barkeeper to the porter. Forth
with the porter rolled out from behind
the counter wheelbarrow containing
999 siler dollars and a quarter It
took Cassiday an hour to compromise
the situation and several more rounds
besides.
