“Crime of Parrielde.
URING the past three months boys of tender years
have slain their fathers, each time on the pretext of
defending their mothers from paternal violence. In
each case the men slain were dissipated and violent,
with the reputation of ill-using their families. It may therefore be said that they deserved their fate.. Perhaps; but do
not these shocking tragedies have a most deleterious effect on}
society? Parricide is an awful crime. Can the killing of
parents by children ever be justified on moral grounds, even
though legally justifiable? Is it true that continued abuse
and violent attempts on life at the hands of dissolute and unworthy parents are hard to bear, often call for strenuous resistance, but the slaying of the parent is so unnatural, so abhorrent to the seutiment of civilized mankind, which clothes
even the infirmities of the father and mother with respect,
that it can scarcely be regarded as a condonable offense. We
may pity the person who is placed in such extremity by parental ill usage, and sympathize with the misfortune of those
who are forced to see one parent. slain or slay the other; yet
the act of parricide itself can never be regarded with any
other sentiment than a feeling of horror and reprobation.
The safety of society and the construction of the family
makes this imperative. Yet society owes some duties to
itself and especially to children placed at the mercy of
drunken, violent wretches, in this matter. Better protection
should be afforded to the offspring of unnatural parents, although to provide it presents a question of the greatest
nicety.
Proper moral training is urgent for many of the evils
which attend the domestic life of families ill-constituted, dissolute or irresponsible. But how is it to be applied? Moral
training reaches everywhere else without touching the point
of infection. It does not get into the family where it is most
needed. Iua moral, God-fearing community, there may be
one family debased by drink, improvidence, incontinence, or
by other causes, Children are reared under such conditions
as to deprive them of all respect for one or both parents,
while they are made to feel the taunts and derision of other
children; who visit the sins of the father on the son with the'.
thoughtless brutality peculiar to childhood. Out of this condition grows an awful tragedy, its most fearful phase being
the self-approval of the patricide.
Public opinion should exert itself to frown down condonation for the killing of parents. The ancient Greeks regarded the patricide as the most dreadful of all crimes. Even
when involuntary it called for the severest punishment. Two
of the most powerful of the ancient Greek tragedies had for
dts subject the punishment due to those guilty of parentslaying. In one case Clytemnestra richly deserved her fate,
and in the other Edipus committed his crime unwillingly and
in self defense. Yet the Greeks regarded the offense as unforgivable. The sentiment which prompted this harsh judgment is the very foundation stone of civilization. It must
not be broken or the family as the unit of society will perish.
