July' 14. ? Few j men hare ever made the sacrifice of material wealth to enter the j public aervlce which the Iste John W. Weeks voluntarily made when ho entered tho United Stater Sen ate. Tho true story of the extreme1 to which Mr. Weeks went to sever all business relationships so that he might vote with a free cons cience In the American Senate Is probably unparalleled in hlstor>. Mr. Weeks had established one of the most successful Arms in the investment business under the name of Hornblower and Weeks. His faith In the men who helped him build It up was such that when the time came for hla entry into the Senate he did not follow the natural course, namely to sell his business but he actually gave It to his partners. It Is estimated that the actual and potential value of Mr. Weeks' partnership at that time was several millions of dollars. There was no an nouncement about it. Mr. Weeks simply gave notice that he had re tired. It was an act of philan thropy. however, which wai char acteristic of Mr. Weeks. In a year shortly after fcls retirement when business was not .wn good an Industrial depraaalon, the uaual Christmas check was not forth coming but from his retirement Mr. Weckalxnt $10,000 to be dl vlded among the employes. Talking with the late Secretary of War a few months ago the writer was discussing the Impor tance of financial Independence to men who enter public life. Mr. , Weeks waa a strong believer In tho theory that a man who was not dependent on his salary thought lesa about the dangers of defeat for re-election than the man whose personal plans would be vitally Influenced by a sudden retirement from office after many years of service. He believed that Inadvertently some men do not vote as their consolencee dictate because they are afraid of defeat. Mr. Weeks waa never afraid of defeat. He possessed a rare cour age which made him one of the outatandlng members of the Sen ate even though his service there was brief. Facing his Republican col leagues, practically all of whom had decided to vote against the Federal Reserve Act which ere- ! ated the banking system which haa since Its establishment In ; 1914 received suck widespread; commendation from all parties. Mr. Weeks snnounced that there 1 waa so much good In the measure 1 and so little that was bad he would unhesltantlngly vote for the proposal. And he did. The record shows that hardly any Re publicans st the time abandoned 1 their partisanship to vote for the Federal Reserve Act. There were other Instances of ! the same Independence on the part | of Mr. Weeks. He regarded tho public service as the highest pos sible trust. Not only did he re tire from business when lie en tered the Senate, but he resigned from every dlrectorste and sold every share of atock which might | even remotely be affected by pend ing legislation. As a Secretary of War. Mr Weeks quickly won the affeetlon of the men In thfe army. This Isn't usual either. As a matter of fact few civilian secretaries are able to harmonise their views with those of the officers who grow up In the service. Mr. Weeks found by tact and thorough study of existing problem* that there could be har mony. There waa a time when Mr. Weeks wss considered for the Sec retaryshlp of the Treasury. If the Penaaylvsnla Senators hsd not brought the nsme of Andrew W Mellon to Mr. Hnrdlng the chances are Mr. Weeka would have been Secretary of the Treasury. It was a poet he would have enjoyed ss j he waa a thorough student of As- 1 o*l affairs. Htortea of Mr. Weeks" generoa . Ity and particularly hla effoita to save the late Senate nrsndegee* tangled finances which led to ; suicide are well known among his! friends but he wss not thn kind | who let his deeds la this dlrtfttton become known He waa one of th* meat modest met in public lire snd also one ef the moat affl freeenl gee, rat tan of public men.

The Standard Oil Company pre- ( Merited a request to the City Coun cil ut its regular meeting Monday night, July 5, for the repeal on an ordinance prohibiting the erection of gasoline storage tanks within the city limits. Tho eompauy rep resented that other cities in this State, as well as In Virginia and ehewheje. did not bar the erection of suchlanks, not regarding them as in any wise a menace to life I and property.
