The Sins of the Father, .5tc.
Au unusual hu m an interest story with a moral is to he
found in the sad story of the bov, who shot and killed his
own lather in the family residence in D uluth a short time ago.
having been spurred on to the deed bv his fa th e r’s abuse of his
mother.
T h e boy-m urderer appears to feel no remorse and the burden
of his story is th at his father never acted the part of a parent to
him.
T ru e it would take quite a stretch of the im agination to l>e-
lieve that parental neglect alone could cause a boy in his right
mind to deliberately m urder his own father, as this misguided
boy did, but the peculiarities of disposition th at magnified his
father's abuse of his m other and the tiery temj>er th at called for
such abuse m ight have been righted and calmed by the care and
com panionship due from a father.
Then, if the father had been a better parent to his
children, the same feelings would have led him to have lieen a
better husband and there would have l>een no cause tor the deed
th a t has sent his soul to doubtful oblivion and made a parricide
o f th e boy.
T h is terrible tragedy may serve some good by bringing home
to neglectful parents a stronger sense of w hat they owe those for
whose existence they are responsible.
T h e re are far too m a n y fathers w ho carry the notion that
they have done their full d u ty by contributing to the bringing
into th e world o f a child. A child h u n g ry tor a p a re n t's love is
a pititul thing.
A child th a t does not crave its fa th e r’s love a n d affection has
been born of a sadly neglected m other. T h e father who does not
enjoy th e innocent aud care-free childish prattle of a baby tongue,
whose heart does not respond to the pressure of chubby arm s
about his neck entw ined and of c h erub lips pressed to his, may
be a parent because n ature m akes him so, but he is not a lather
in the tru e sense of the word.
T h e father w ho does not enjoy th e com panionship of his
children has no rig h t to their love, the father w ho does enjoy
th e ir com panionship has uo fear of injury at their bauds.
