And don't forget the police - let
them head the parade, each copper
carrying the club and gun he uses
over the heads Of the men and boys
while helping them learn to love the
law, their country and their flag.
Let our captains of industry mObil-
ize their thugs, sluggers, gunner
and strikebreakers- including those
of all of our patriotic publishers of
preparedness newspapers.
If we are going to show how Chi
cagO is preparing for preparedness,
let's do the job up right. Let's show
the world the truth about this great
industrial, financial and social melt
ing pot
Then, perhaps, some of our patri-
otto captains of industry will see that
when we start in to prepare to de-
fend our home and fireside and cOun-
try, that we must begin with the ba-
bies and insist on the right of every
babe born in this country to be born
under such conditions as will give it
a fair chance to become a healthy,
robust American man or woman.
And that means that it's father must
be paid a wage that will enable him
to take decent care of the mother,
and of the children she bears for her
country.
I'm for preparedness-yoU bet.
But I want it to be the real thing. I
want it to begin before the baby is
born and to stay right with the baby
until all its physical and mental pos
sibilities are developed to the high
est and the best.
I'm for the preparedness that en-
ables young men to love and marry
and to raise babies that are healthy.
happy and strong.

I'm not for the preparedness that
breeds cOnsUmptives, syphilitics or
the otherwise physically defective
and unfit.
But I'm afraid Chicago's prepared
ness parade will cover up poverty,
disease, vice and crime and merely
scratch the surface of national pre-
paredness by making it a display Of
flags and blinded patriotism, bene-
fetal mainly to the manufacturers Of
arms, armament and the munitions

vONE of the Weekses, save John
NJ Wingate, the senator and the
Massachusetts, candidate for
president-toiling as they all did
among the granite humps of New
Hampshire-wase ever noted for his ac-
emulation OF cash or property.
They were farmers mostly, begin
ming with Leonard Weeks, who, emil
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 sem
Ator, was a probate Judge, and once
essayed to be a manufacturer. With
the cooperation of neighbors, likewise
alert and adventurous, he started q
factory at Lancaster for making starch
from potatoes.

we were leaving church, we saw men
and boys running down the street and

BLIND MUSICIAN
WINS FREEDOM BY
PLAYING VIOLIN

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20 Abram
Hattie vitch, a blind Russian. and his 49,
year-old brother, held at the immigra-
ton station here for deportation as
aliens, were freed today with the right
of entry into this country because Ed
ward White, commissioner of immi-
grafton, happened to hear ADRIAN play
ing his violin.
Thru the window of the commission
er's office there hoated the strains of
Tschaikowsky,s ''Serenade," played by
a master hand. Impressed by the music,
White ordered the Russian brought be-
fore him.
Once more Haitovitch played the Rus
sian song, and under its spell, White
ordered the board of inquiry TO con-
vene and consider again Haitovitch's
case.
The board learned the immigrant
was a graduate of the Imperial Russian
Conservatory of Musi at Petrogrsd.
They learned that he had forssken
fame and fortune to get his young
brother out of the country to save HIM
from the trenches.

A sio 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
wellto-do-but has less money, per-
haps, than is often represented-and
Republicans in Massachusetts, have no
titled the country that he is their cam
didate for president. II he is nomi-
mated at Chicago in June, the main
reason will have been that he ts
business man. His candidacy, then,
will be something entirely new In ma
tional politics.
In his measurements, Captain Weeks
is a large man. A reasonable guess
at his weight would be ESQ pounds.
His stature, perhaps, Is five feet and
eleven inches. His eyes are gray and
his manner is frank and hearty. While
M the naval academy he could slowly
raise a l12-pound dumbbell above his
head with his right hand. Then, kneel-
ing with one leg, he could slowly raise
an 87-pound dupbbell 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 q
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.

prudential committee said. We'll
