American From Head to Heel From

By JOSEPH SMITH
THE man who la In touch and sympathy with the human currents of hti
age, who recognizes the Ills of his day and can prescribe tho cures oi
palliatives for them, who Is not willing to allow ono evil to crowd out thi
consideration of others, that man with his lntultlvo knowledges of tho strength
and weakness of his fellows, will go far. Ho inspires faith and by his patience
and tact gathers behind himself a moving force, a volume of convinced public
opinion that enables him to achieve results.
Such a man Is Captain John Wlngato Weeks, Senator from tho Common
wealth of Massachusetts. Captain Weeks you'll get closer to his heart by
giving him his naval titlo than by Intoning his senatorial dignity Is in ne
senso a now man in public llfo. During these years of agitation and clamor
ho has been working, not spell-binding. In theso parlous days of Btorm and
stress and lungs and tongues, ho has been on tho Job attending everlastingly
to tho business of tho country and tho Interests of hlB constituents. He has
had neithor the tlmo nor the tasto for decorating stumps or adorning plat
forms. And yet ho can speak and speak wisely and convincingly when noces
slty demands it and tho occasion warrants It. Ho is more llko McKinley thar
any other public man of tho day, in his relations with hia follow men.
Big, Upstanding, Clear-headed, Well-balanced
Captain Weeks has never posed as an AJax defying tho limelight; he
knows that a republic and a peoplo are better served by works than words.
Being endowed with Yankeo gumption and a fine senso of humor and having a
long experienco of men and matters, ho Is convinced that tho man who sawi
and Bweats gets moro out of a tough wood pile than ho who Bwats and swears
Captain Weeks is ono of thoso big, upstanding, clear-headed, woll-bal
anccd Yankees, who wero moro numerous half a century ago than they art
today. A sane, BUlf-contalned, honorable American, endowed with Yankee
humor and horso senBO, shrewd and kindly, who loves square dealing and
fair play; who believes in walking and working In the middle of the road Id
tho sight of man and God, ready to share the sunlight of bis nature with hie
follows. That's Captain WoekB.
It was In tho town Lancaster, in that cradle of men, the Old Granite
Stato, that John Weeks was born ono April morning in 1860; lived and grew
to young manhood; learned how to cut a clean Bwath with tho best of the
hands in tho hay-field, and was a hardworking farmer's boy. Prom the
wholesome atmosphero of the north country, he wont direct to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis. Llfo was not all cakes and ale for the Annapolis man
In the early elshtlcs. We did not have much of a navy in those days, noi
did wo havo tho knowledgo and appreciation of tho necessity and value ol
ono. Wo wero too busy expanding our purse and our pride to waste much
timo on armies and navies, and bo we neglected both. Out of a graduating
claBS of 70 cadetB only ten received commissions and tho other 60 were sent
adrift. John W. Weeks did not belong to the Upper Ten.
Annapolis Makes Americans
Annapolis makes Americana. It perfects their bodies and disciplines
their minds, It graduates ofilcero and gentlemen, and they are taught to
understand that tho standard which constitutes an American gentleman bear
ing tho commission of the United States Is character and conduct, not birth or
condition. The boy who Btands the testB of AnnapoliB for four years and
graduates must bo sound In body, mind and soul. From this school John
Weeks graduated with honor and credit and pasBed Into tho service of his
country. If tho indifference and folly of that day Bubseauently deprived tho
navy of tho Borvicos of Weeks and his 59 classmates they did turn back into
tho civil llfo of tho Republic a leaven of worth and efficiency with a distinct
valuo, a leaven with a lofty conception of citizenship and duty.
A Patriot in Peace and War
This is tho why and becauso of John Wlngate Weeks and the manner
of man ho is. Of good American stock, born In the most American of New
England States, raised in the wholesome atmosphere of a New Hampshire
country town ho went In the formative period of his manhood to the most
American of schools, tho Annapolis Naval Academy, and later to spend two
yoars-ln actlvo service The resultant product could only be one thing a
man who could bo trusted tracer au circumstances ana conumuun, a m,u
mlnded, honorable gentleman, a patriot in peace and war, a public servant
who could bo depended upon in every criala, a man whoso word was as good
as his bond, a clean-living, clfan-thinking, hard-worklng, liberty-loving demo
cratic American.
Pluck and Patience, Phyique and Humor
Tt I. !,,. ttnl 4nV, r Vnon n irnnrt mm down, but it's a KOOd deal
harder to dlscourago or defeat a New Hampshire Yankee. When John Weeks
retired from tho navy ho did not waste any time mourning the ingratitude of
republics. Ho wont to work in Florida as a surveyor, running down the
linos of old Spanish land grants. If any good man and true wants to learn
what good hard work means, let him tackle a job surveying in the steamy
airs and oozy lands of Florida. To hlko -through the swamp and Jungle
under a sub-tropical sun In tho pleasant companionship of reptiles and in
sect posts, packing rod and chain and theodolite is a Job that calls for pluck
and pattonco, physique and humor. Weeks did it and stuck to his Job. He
needed tho money and wasn't afraid of hard work; and his experience then
has onablod him to have a Boft Bpot In bis heart for every fellow Bweating
under a hard Job and in a tight place. His Annapolis experienco with the
hard knocks afterward in Florida helped to give him tho National spirit
which is so marked a feature of hlB character. It helps to explain, too,
how it happens that ho is the first New England Republican since James
Q. Blalno to touch tho heart of tho West There is no western state in
which you cannot find John Weeks' adoring friends.
Captain Weeks has succeeded in business and politics because of his
gifts and graces plus hard work and square dealing. While he is firm in his
convictions, unyielding In his principles and vigorous in upholding them, ho
has tho art of compelling the admiration and affection of his opponents, who
soon roalizo tho sincerity and honesty of his views. He knows how to
concedo without cutting, to rebuke without reviling, to speak without sting
ing.
Volunteered for Service
When he began hlB civil career and became immersed in business, he
could not forgot his first love, the sea and the ship; and feeling that the
day might come when his country could utilize tho knowledge and training
gainod in Annapolis, he Joined the Massachusetts. Naval Brigade and bo
camo its commander and captain. When the Spanish War did come ho
served as Heutonant in tho volunteer naval forces in Massachusetts waters.
Though out of tho service, his heart is still with it. When Wilson bungled
us into war with Mexico through seizing Vera Cruz. Captain Weeks was
ono of tho first to volunteer for service in tho hostilities which seemed to
bo nt hand. Ho Is primarily a sailor and a naval officer. In Congress no
man's advico and counsel are valued so highly for ho bring to this subject
knowledgo, intelligence, sympathy and a patriotic pride.
A Worker Not a Word-monger
Captain Weeks wob never a spectacular Congressman. He U a worker,
not a word-mongor; ho wastes neither time nor talent to useless d,8",on
His aim is to got results, to place useful legislation on the bJ";
allay public discontent by remedial measures and t4keP lne "" "
government running without friction and without waste and ava6ance.
In tho recont days of excitement and agitation, whon a great deal of dem
agogy was masquerading as patriotism and garrulous humbug was posing
as reform, his humor, good sense and knowledgo of human nature guided
. . . i..nnn nn th wioiia of dull reaction. He
mm oy tno snoais oi rom-iug nvuiuuuu " i- .w- ,
kopt hlB balance and smiled at both poseur and stand-patter.
A shrewd, kindly, level-headed, self-respecting : Vankee. voted to his
country and loyal to his duUos and responsibility his education
have taught him that law. order and discipline are as essen tlnl to the .prog,
ress and prosperity of the nation as financial sanity and socio peace ore to
Its industrial and commercial success. He can "cognize financial heresy ana
political humbug no matter how cleverly dlsgulflod. and he lajiot to be fooled
by tho fine words that butter no parsnips. His good sense and good .humor
tho admirable temper he brings to tho discussion of measures. 1 Ms cour esy
and consideration for others and his thorough mastery tt" "U"J
ho advocates and the legislation ho opposes have brought him respect ana
confidence.
Tho Best Liked Man in CoHgres
Ho Is tho 0Bt otfoctlvo and best liked man In Congrosa today. If we
members of tho House and Senate with whom ho liao served ero,to choose
tho noxt President he woufo get almost every Republican vote and Progres
slves and Democrats would bo glad to oeo him get It.
Ho Is a man's man, ho wears well, ho Is a permanent fixture in the atrec
tlons of his hosts of friends. Ho Is a public man whom It will pay to watcn,
for ho will go far and he is a sound and trustworthy American Product.
Amorican from his head to his heel and from his eVia to his marrow. TW
world knows uo bettor type than that.
