The Mother of A Mayor.
Gladstone was one of the best
flogged boys in the public schools
of England.
On the other hand, the mother
of John Purroy Mitchel, mayor
of New’ York, says in the Delin
eator: “I never whipped my
boy. 1 don’t belive in whipping
children.”
It is to be allowed of course,
that Gladstone was a prime min
ister. He never had to be may
or of a troublesome city like
New York. As for the young
Mitchel, his mother, as she built
her castles, ‘sawr him only as <
| jurist, a great lawyer and judge”
and although not whipped, he
"was not spoiled.
j “When he was 5 years old,”
jhis mother said. “I began to
(instill in him a respect for other
people’s property, other people’s
rights—thei.r opinions and
faiths. Letting others’ things
alone, respecting their rights,
their opinions their faiths—that
is my idea of democracy- I
might say it is my personal doc
trine of American citizenship.”
Most serious among a moth
er’s problems in the rearing of
her boy this mother places the
choice of friends. She says in
particular:
“I place more weight upon the
choice of the girl friends a boy
has than of the boy friends he
chooses. A boy is a wiser little
|creature than we imagine in his
[ judgment of other boys. He
' comes very near accurately clas
sifying every boy he knows.
But a girl is a subtle influence in
his life. In a way she is a stan
dard. His respect and his faith
| for and in the finer things are
; rooted in his estimate of woman
i hood.”

Violated Postal Laws.
Brinkley, April 22.—T. Lea
Hammett of Brinkley, charged
with violations of the postal
laws, was arrested today by S.
A. Carrington, deputy United
tntes marshal, and taken to Hel
ena for a hearing. He mill ap
pear before J. B Conley, deputy
United States clerk, tomorrow
and probably will be released on
bond to appear at the next term
of the United States District
Court.
It is charged that Hammett
inserted advertisements in pa
jpers from New York to San
Francisco, that the Prairie Rice
| Plantation of Little Rock would
i sell 15 pounds of unpolished rice
for $1.00. This was to be sent
!' prepaid by parcel post. Ham
: mett, it is alleged, received the
i dollars but dollar-senders re
ceived no rice. Several hun
jjdred complaints were received
by postal authorities here since
| the first of February. It is also
g said that Hammett owes the
newspapers for his advertising.
Hammett’s theory, it is said,
jj was to establish depots in dif
0 ferent cities, ship rice to these
| by freight and then reship the
rice by parcel post. He has a
large rice farm at Brinkley, it
is said.
The maximum penalty for us-1
