what proportion Of my earnings
should give my parents? Have
they a right to take everything

These are Questions that I am con-
tinually asked, and in reply I can
only say that IL seems to me that the
financial obligation of children to
their parents depends altogether
upon the parents necessity.
II the parents are poor, and old,
and feeble, the children should sup
port them. even IL IL takes every
thing they make If the parents
are not in dire straits OF want, and
are able to work, then, IL the chill
dren pay their board, they have
done everything that their parents
should expect or ask of them
For Nature lays the responsibility
Of providing for the children upon
the parents 1t Is those who have
thrust life upon helpless creatures
who are bound by every law. human
and divine. to cherish them. They
ing children. they have merely
propagated a lot of slaves to toll
for them.
A great many parents do hold
this view, however. ard We continu-
ally see men and women who are
husky and strong, and perfectly
able to support themselves. who
knock on work and begin to coddle
imaginary ailments just as soon as
their chilSen get old enough to be
sent out to labor for them. They
set up rheumatic knees, and lame
backs, as an excuse for turning
slackers, just as fashionable ladies
develop nervous prostrstion when
ever they want to spend the season
at Palm Beach.
One would think that the last per-
son on whom fathers and mothers
would graft would be their own
child, gut so far from this being the
case, 1t Is the exceptional parents
who do not think that they have a
perfect right to everything their
children make.
OF course, It isn't so easy to hold
up a boy. and take his earnings
away from him, as 1t is a girl, so
most parents are satisfied IL their
sons pay board. but the poor daugh-
ter. IN the great majority OF cases,

of solid party action as the only ef-
