WEALTHY PARENTS
"SPOIL" CHILDREN
The Reb. Mr.. Peabody
Head of Groton School Says
Money Is Given Them
Too Freely.

BOSTON, March THE Rev. Endi-
colt Peabody. head master Of the IA
nous Groton School. which probably
educates more boys Of wealthy families
than any other school in the country,
found very little good to say about rich
parents today when he addressed the
Harvard Teachers Association at Cam
bridge.
His theme was 1.-THE Training and Re
sponsibility of Parents" and in the
course OF his arraignment ne declared
that the rich OF New York lavish too
much money upon their growing chill
dren, while the same class in Boston
act as II embarrassed by the presence
of their offspring, and don't want 10
have the children around.
The modern teacher" he said, has
no time for the theory Of teaching. The
reason for this is that children are not
so well brought up as they were in
years gone by. They are TOO worldly,
too well fed. and too much lavished with
money.
when parents send boy to Har-
ward instead of considering the educa-
tional part, they endeavor to pick out
the most expensive rooms for him. This
is especially true Of New York parents
who are altogether too lavish,
Boston parents bring their children
up in a more simple way, but when
they get TO Harvard they want their
sons to join the most fashionable clubs,
as il is a big social help 70 the family,
Obedience Of children Is uufashionable
II is fast dying out Parents think II
Is a good idea for them not 10 obey and

Call Of GOmpers.
President Gompers' call is as follows:
Dear sir and brother:

of the far-resching character of the
recent decisions of the Supreme Court
Of the United States. and particularly
one rendered in the hatters' case.

among the working people OF our coun-
try in regard thereto. / have. there

Ominous rumblings in the ranks OF or
ganized labor, as the result of the recent
adverse labor decisions Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, particularly
that one in which a boycott was held
10 be in violation of the antitrust law,
eliminated yesterday afternoon by the
issuance Of a call for a conference Of all
labor leaders here March IS.
President Gompers. of the American
Federation Of Labor, who issued the
call inviting the executive officers Of
the international trades unions OF Ameri-
ca to meet with the executive council
OF the American Federation Of Labor
for the purpose of taking such action
as win set forth the position and de
mands OF labor, conveys an intimation
OF a possible political revolt
In reference to the boycott decision he
explains in his call that the decision is
binding upon all until changed or modi-
fed by comprehensive relief"
Refers to Editorial.
Although President Gompers declines
al this time to discuss the probable re
suits or the conference, he points out
his attitude and that OF the American
Federation OF Labor toward the boy
colt decision, as expressed by MIN IN DIS
recent editorial Pronunciation IN the
Federationist One particular paragraph
read as follows:
We can hardly believe that the Su-
preme Court itself realizes the evil con-
sequences which may follow this de-
cision under its construction Of the Sher-
man antitrust law, a construction never
intended by Congress. It may be Ike
the falling pebble which dislodges the
avalanche. bringing ruin and destruction
upon all IN its path. Should this be the
result IL will follow from the nature
ana operation OF the decision itself, not
because Of the protest of those affected"

DEATH OF JUDGE CASSODAY.

By the death of Hon. John B.
CassodaY, chief justice of the
supreme court of Wisconsin, which
occurred at Madison last Monday,
the state loses an eminent jurist
who was prominently the bust
ness man of that body, and who had
been upon the supreme bench more
than quarter of a century. He
was native of New York state,
but came to Wisconsin in 1857,
locating at GAINESVILLE. Later he
was a partner of Edward f. Carpen-
ter, a half brother of the late
Senator Carp enter until he was ap-
p )inted to the supreme bench in
1880. He became chief justice in
1895, upon the death OF Chief
Justice Orion. Judge Cassoday,
during his long term OF this i'm
portant Office refrained entirely
from all active participation in
political affairs. Both as a lawyer
and judge he was always a hard
student, with great care for details
and methods, a close reasOner, and
unsparing of effort in the prepara-
ton of his cases.
In the consideration of the late
iurists' successor the man who
seems most likely to be appointed is
his close friend, Attorney r. M.
Bashford of Madison. Judge George
Clementson of this city who is
admirably equipped for the place,
has been frequently mentioned in
connection with the Office, but the
judge informs the Herald that he
could not consent to become a candI-
date for the place, preferring to
continue In the position he so com
petently fills as judge of the Fifth
judicial circuit. while MS friends
would be glad TO see him adYancad
to place on the supreme bench
they will rejoice at his decision 10
remain a citizen of Lancaster and
continue IN the administration of
the affairs of this circuit.
