NEIGHBORHOOD CHURCH
 FUTURE STILL IN DOUBT.
Members Refuse to Carry Out Plan to Become Part of Unitarian
 Movement.
Especial to The Farmer,

Special to The Farmer)
 Stratford, Dec. 19-The Neighborhood church will not become a part of the great Unitarian movement in the Uni decided by the members of the church. At a meeting of the members of the church held two months ago vote was taken which was supposed to be final and that the church property would be transferred to the Unitarian association of Boston, and also that the church would come under the con- trol of this denomination. preacher was sent to conduct the services in this town and it was generally con- sidered that the matter was settled. There were those in the congregation however, who did not believe that simple vote of the members of the church who saw fit to assemble was sufficient to change the denomination
 of the church or to transfer any of it's property. When this belief was dis
 covered to be grounded on solid law
 and that there was liable to be trou-
 ble the church in another meeting
 held two weeks ago voted to recede from the former action and to resume
 its former standing. The Unitarian
 preacher who had conducted services
 here was notified of the action and he
 has not been here since. Rev. c. s. Bullock the former minister and the
 originator of the church offered his services and has been conducting ser
 vices there since. Rev. Bullock is
 now pastor of the Church of All
 Saints in New London and report has
 it that he has a good job. He is able
 at all events to come to Strarford ev-
 cry Sunday evening and conduct ser
 vices It has been known that there
 were several dissenting members on the Unitarian proposition and with these in the way there were legal obstacles to the transfer of the prop erty which could not be over come. Many former members of the congre- gation who had left are said to he willing to return to the fold if the Rev. Bullock will eliminate himself from the proposition entirely It is claimed that the church cannot be maintained by the few who are still faithful and the disaffected members cannot be relied on to return, or any new recruits be expected as long as present conditions last. This is an unbiased estimate of the condition of affairs and the result will proba bly be the end of the church as an organized 1 body It is understood that parties | are hoping to obtain the church prop l erty for other purposes but just what ! these are has not been made public | Some say that the church may be | turned into al moving picture show and | others that 1t will be a dance hall | both of which would prove . financial ! success in this town.

THE SINS OF THE CHILDREN :,
By Ada Patterson. /:
49, = ! 1880. J:

a NEW judge has been appointed
a to administer justice in the
4 \ Philippines. News travels fast
and before the newly appointed
5urist opens his first term of court, the
simple folk in the group OF islands
will know that the man who will
measure the punishment of their law
breakers is the father of young man
who has confessed 70 the brutal muir
der of his young wife and who is
waiting in jail in this country a decis-
ion whether he is to be transported
TO the land in which the awful crime
was committed, for punishment for
that crime.
The Filipinos-they are only simple
folk, you know, will doubtless be sur
prised. why should he who could
mot make of his son a good man try to
make of us. whom he does not know,
good men?" they will ask.
Honor For the Father.
Public attention has been called to
an instance of bestowal Of honor upon
the father of dishonored son. What
ever the deserts of the judge in this
particular instance, his appointment
raises the question whether the sins of
the children would not be visited upon
their parents How far does the &C
countability of a father and mother for
the misdeeds of their children go?
In this rampant individualism, the
child isn't as closely related to father
and mother as he used to be. He holds
himself accountable for his own mis-
deeds. and public opinion. so far as it
concerns itself with the problem,
thoughtlessly agrees with him.
But there is an unrecognized crime
of far reaching careless parenthood.
The parent who allows his child to
roam the streets snatching flotsam
and jetsam from its stream of evil may
be reprimanded in some courts, pun
ished by others. But that only when
the child is OF tender years.
Why not extend the system farther
and deeper? If in this era of mercy,
parents may not be punished for the
sins of their children, honors may be
withheld. Parents in the main mean
well in their treatment of their child
rem, but a great many of them don't
mean well enough Their active par
enthood is spasmodic. The father for
gets the children while he seeks
money and office. The mother neglects
them while she considers some new
fashion or club or society fad.
Suppose 1t Was This Way.
Suppose that the father of bad young
men should lose the office honors?
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-08-26

Suppose the mother of young women
who are flighty or worse should be
dropped from the organization to
which she belongs? Suppose they
should not only be disgraced by the
crime committed by their children but
they should lose money and Of
fetal standing as we'll? Fear
would thus supplement weak
sense of duty. The daughter of
man of~high standing and low NOR
ais killed herself while intoxicated If
the father can absolve himself from
blame for the transmitted vice, that
is a callous community he serves if
it will absolve him.
Humanists who lean to sentimental
ity will cry out that the poor parents
have been punished enough by their
heart aches" But are heartaches pun
isment enough for parents whose care
lessness in rearing their children has
blotted the world with crime Senti-
mentalists may murmur about cruelty
But Nature is cruel and her results
are beneficent.
Pleas have been made for slayers
that they had ungovernable tempers

- ANANEA. SONORA. Mex, Aug. 2s-
During this year some won
derful changes have been made
at various properties of the district
belonging to the two companies now

has brought its various plants UP TO

electricity as motive power at all its
properties During the year three
1875 k. W. turbine generators were in
stalled at the power house, and from
these enough electricity is generated
to turn all the machinery at the diff
ferent plants and mines.
Increased Capacity.
A new reverberatory furnace was
constructed during the year. which is
for the past few years. only the new,
one is of greater capacity.
Additional roasters have been added
to tie MacDougaI battery and the
NUMBER brought from six to 10. These
handle the concentrates from the big
7 r1iI ard from .he furnaces they pass
TO the reverberatories. a new ore
.srreading bed was jrst recently COM
.pleted. which is now handling the con-
>centrates for the MacDougals.
Handling the Ores.
AT the various properties of the
Greene-Cananea company the sys-
tens for handling the ores have been
vastly improved and new ore bins
constructed at several of the proper
ties. including Capote. where the ore
is carried by electric haulage.
During the past month two proper
ties of the company were resumed,
Puertocitos and Henrietta, these prop
critics producing an ore which is es-
sential in use as flux at the smelter
The reopening of these properties
brought about the hiring of additionas

First Airplane in Mexico.
One thing which will bring atten-
ton of the southwest to Cananea is
that the first airplane ever construct
ed in Mexico was built in Cananea by
Dan Lewis, young man, who has
been devoting his spare time to the
perfecting of an airplane during the
past year and a half. The airplane
has been almost perfected, but on ac
count of the many new features which
Mr.. Lewis has embodied in his ma
chine, it has. required much time and
patience on his part to bring his ma
chine up to a point where it will be
possible to fly without danger of
accidents. He is at present working
on a contrivance which will enable
the machine to keep it's balance and
when this bit Of mechanism is COM
pleted it will, he. believes, revolu-
tionize airplane construction.

placing a woman upon equality with
man and giving her an interest in pub

much the domestic woman loves a

authority in that home she would soon
lose interest in it. That is the reason
why women have not more concern
