FAVOR all Kinds OF defenses-mi1ftary
commercial, financial and industrial And
right here at home l think some of US
need defense against fallacious ideas. For
Instance: This is a great business nation
and yet we hear many suggestions that
business be taken out of the ownership
and management which have developed 1t
and made 1t wonderfully successful, 30
that 1t may be turned over to the national
government.
Business ought to be regulated. but we
have regulated the railroads so vigorously
that no more are being built, although
they are surely needed in some parts of
come when the railroads cannot borrow
money for short periods on as advantage
Gus terms as can other lines of big bust
ness And yet transportation, next to
agriculture Is our most important indus
try.
Would government ownership and oper-
alton improve the situation?
No; the situation would be made worse.
State ownership and operation has failed
Wherever 1t has been tried, expenses are
Increased and deficits created. On the
Western Railroad of France the operating
charges went up so per cent in three
years More than $500 new mon wers en-
ployed-no workers on the tracks, engi-
neers, conductors or brakemen, but clerks,
porters and other little politicians, places
for whom were found around the general
offices and at the stations.
Government ownership in the United
States would add 100000 men to our Of
fice-holding class, and congress would fix
their salaries. Freight rates. | am sure,
would be higher than at present and the
consumers-the men who work-would be
losers and not gamers.

FACE The FACTS!
Weeks Talks About Our Navy

Insists on Military, Commercial, Fin

Let Us Be Ready for Peace AZ

BY JAMES B. MORROW,
in the Philadelphia Record.

- ZONE of the Weekses, save John
N Wingate, the senator and the
Massachusetts candidate for
president-toiling as they all did
among the granite humps OF New
Hampshire-was ever noted for his &C.
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 a manufacturer. With
the cooperation OF neighbors, likewise
alert and adventurous, he started
factory at Lancaster for making starch
from potatoes.
Il will never forget the look on my
fathers face" Captain Weeks told me,
when, on a 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

There was no insurance-the pol
icy had lapsed-and the fire swep,
away all Of my faAhers means and put
ia 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 a senator Nor would he
ever have become banker and thus
have set at naught all the traditions OF
the Weeks family for self-respecting
capable and wholesome poverty.
And 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 1860.
The Weekses and the Wingates in
termarried during the second Ameri-
can generatiOn-the Weekses to con-
atinue 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
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. II he is nomi
mated at Chicago in June, the main
reason will have been that he Is q
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 his
head with his right hand. Then, kneel-
Ing WITH Ole IcS, lie COulu SLOWLY IdlS0
an 87-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 EN- good" the
prudential committee said. wen
