1t was not until 1900 that Weeks
began the active political career that
has engaged him ever since. A resi-
dent of Newton, Mass, at that time,
he campaigned for alderman and
was elected. In 1902 he was made
mayor of the town. Rapid strides
up the Republican political ladder
followed.
He went to congress in 1905 and
made a name for himself as a legis-
lator talented in finance and with a
fine mind for details.
In 1912 he was sent from h
House to the senate where he served
until replaced recently by David 1.
Walsh, Democrat. In the senate he
took a prominent part in the debate
on the Glass-Owen currency act and
on other important finance meas
ures. He was long a member of the
Committee on Military Affairs.
Is Big Man
Blue-eyed. big mentally and
physically, with light hair and
square shoulders, Weeks is a man
of his own convictions.
He has a hankering for the old
farm life and owns a large farm in
the New Hampshire hills near the
place where he was born. Much of
his time in summer is spent there
and he likes nothing better than to
take his visitors into the fields and
| give them practical lessons in farm
ing las it's done in the hills"
The former senator and Mrs.
Weeks have two children, a son and
a daughter. Charles Sinclair Weeks,
the son. served as a captain in the
Yankee Division in France. He's
employed in a Boston bank.
Weeks has the reputation of being
a plugger. a hard worker. quiet,
easy-going, never spectacular work

WHEELER ATTACKS JUDGE
BIames Pollock for Denver Outbreak Insists That Medical Beer Is Doomed and Never Will Return.

Baltimore. March 14.-wayne F. Wheeler. general counsel of the Anti Saloon league, attacked United States
 Judge Pollock of the Denver district in an address here Sunday. blaming ut torances by the judge for the recent outbreak in Kansas City, when more than BOO armed men were arrested for alleged threats against prohibition agents.
 Such men as that should not be on the bcnch," said Mir. Wheeler. Judge Pollock took an oath of of Ace to enforth the law. but by his utter anccs against prohibition and prophe- cies that if would lead 10 revolution he encouraged such mr-dcrots attempts on the lives of government of1cials. think that stens will be taken in the next Congress to correct the tendencies exhibited by some of our United States judges"
 Every attempt of the liquor inter- ests 10 weaken or destroy the prohibi- ton act win eventually result in taking away what few privileges the liquor traffic has left" continued MT. Wheeler.
 "The attempt 10 reinstate the beer trade or 10 secure it's general usc as a medicine will fail. We do not believe that the ruling Of Attorney General Palmer relating to beer as q medicine on a doctors prescription is in accord with tho purposes of tho law. nor do we, think he was right in stating that tho prohibition commissioner and internal revenue commissioner could not make certain regulations with reference to the prescribing of liquor.
 Beer has never been recognized ~s n medicine. We hope that the new at torney general will modify this opinion. If tho other nine states adopt the same kind Of prohibition codes which thirty nine states have already adopted there will bc no opportunity to use beer as q medicine anywhere in the country"

WAR VETERANS MOB
 PARTISAN LEAGUERS
Two Organizers Are Tarred and
 Feathered in Kansas

Great Bend. Kan. March H. Demonstra tions against the Non
 Partisan league in Barton County eliminated Saturday night in the tarring of A. J. Stevic and c. Par sons. state organizer and secretary of the league. by a band of former service men who took exception of Stevics denuncfation of them. Earlier in the day. former Senator J. Ralph Burton. who has taken an active part in the work of the league in Kansas, was escorted out of Great Bend.
 Stevic and Parsons had come to Great Bend to join Senator Burton s party. and they too were taken in charge by the mob. but upon their assurances that they would not re- turn to the county if given a safe conduct out of it. they were allowed 10 depart. In the afternoon they appeared at Ellinwood. where Sen ator Burton had also been scheduled 10 appear, and here Stevic made speech to league sympathizers. In the course of his remarks, he cast aspersions upon cX-service men. and they heard of it.
 A number of veterans. said to be members of the American Legion pOSIS or trreat Bend ana ElIlnWo0d, came into the latter town and again took charge of the two leaguers Stevic and Parsons were brought back to Great Bend and then taken about three miles out into he country.
 Covered With Tar.
 Their clothing was stripped from them by the mob of about 200 and a liberal coating of tar applied to each. They were then obliged to roll over and over on the ground until the tar was covered with thick layer of rich Kansas soil. Their clothes were then returned to them and they were ordered to move on. Nothing has been heard of them since. but it is believed that they departed in an automobile in which they arrived at Great Bend in the afternoon
 Former Senator Burton. who went to Hutchinson last night. issued a statement today saying he would make a formal declara ton in regard to the outrage" in Barton County IS soon as he returns to his home n Salina.

 Two years ago, the school boa I'd asked for s4s4.oo0 this year, they arc asking for s734.ooo. In fact you will find the schools cost about half the money taken in for taxes. I know that on the 1894 mill tax. tho city Of New Britain could be run alright this year. Any man who does not give his city any attention. Is as bad as tho stacker who refused 10 TO 10 war. I was very much in terested in the selection for our pres ent mayor. thought he stood for economy. I do know that they did not intend you to have your way on tho tax rate at the city meeting. Friday night. When a city official will refuse to have the voters act on ssich an important matter at tho polls there must be something wrong. I was not in favor of the two platoons at this time. After it got working the two platoon would cost two hundred thousand dollars a year.
