The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1916-04-21
BY JAMES q. MORROW,
in the Philadelphia Record.

" ONE Of the Weekses, save John
III Wingate, the senator and the
4 y Massachusetts candidate for
president-toiling as they all did
among the granite humps Of New
Hampshire-was ever noted for his ac-
emulation of cash or property
They were farmers mostly, begin
ming with Leonard Weeks, who, emf
grating from England in 1856, became
the head and source of the family
Agriculture sternly practiced among
the embedded rocks and irremovable
powders taught them to be resource
full and to keep at least one eye open
to opportunity.
So William d., the father of the SEN
ator, was probate Judge, and once
essayed to be manufactures. With
the cooperation of neighbors, likewise
alert and adventurous, he started a
factory at Lancaster for making starch
from potatoes.
Il will never forget the look on my
fathers face" Captain Weeks told me,
when, ON Sunday morning, Just as
we were leaving church, we saw men
and boys running down the street and
heard them crying: The starch fac
tory is burning
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1916-04-21

There was no insurance-the pol
icy had lapsed-and the fire sweep
away all of my fathers means and put
a burdensome mortgage on his farm,
two and half miles in the country.
II there had been navy of re
spectacle size in 1881 John Wingate
Weeks would now be captain in
stead of senator. Nor would he
ever have become a banker and thus
have set at naught all the traditions OF
the Weeks family for selfrespecting
capable and wholesome poverty.
Aid yet psychological analysis OF
inherited traits might show that the
senator comes naturally by his talents
for public affairs and finance. Any
inquiry into his personality must in
clude the Wingates, the chief of whom,
John, an Englishman, emigrated to
New Hampshire in 1870.
The Weekses and the Wingates in
termarried during the second Ameri-
can generation-the Weekses to con-
tinue as farmers, with an excursion
into potato starch, as has been re-
corded, but the Wingates to become
soldiers, preachers and statesmen.
Paine Wingate, for example, the great
grandson of John, was a member OF
the Continental congress and later a
senator from New Hampshire.
A Big Man Physically.
John Wingate Weeks of Massachu-
sets, in his name, therefore, goes back
to the middle of the seventeenth cen
fury. Perhaps his gifts are equally as
ancient. Wherever they originated,
he has made good use of them. He is
well-to-do-but has less money, per-
haps, than is often represented-and
Republicans in Massachusetts have no
titled the country that he is their can
didate for president. If he is nomi-
mated at Chicago in June, the main
reason will have been that he is 9
business man. His candidacy, then
will be something entirely new in ma
tional politics.
In his measurements, Captain Weeks
is large man. A reasonable guess
at his weight would be $50 pounds
His stature, perhaps, is five feet and
eleven inches. His eyes are gray and
his manner is frank and hearty. While
at the naval academy he could slowly
raise a 112-pound dumbbell above MS
head with his right hand. Then, kneel
Ing WITH OnS leg. Ile COu1u 5lOWiy toAoS
an S7-pound dumbbell with his left
hand. More than that he could lower
his hands to his shoulders and slowly
and simultaneously put both dumb
bells above his head the second time.
A muscular youth, he was recon-
mended by his principal to the "pru'
Dental committee" that called at the
academy in Lancaster on hunt of a
teacher for their district school. The
school was then closed-a group OF
the large boys having carried the
teacher into the road, slammed him
down in the dirt and warned him
never to return.
Lick 'em and lick 'em good the
prudential committee said. Wen
back you up II you do"
