the long war OF the revolution, and
his unanimous election 10 the presi-

in a life almost wholly devoted to
the public interests.
John Adams, Washington's sue
cess or after he had served two terms
and declined third, was one OF the
older men elected 20 the presidency.
At the time of his Inauguration in
1897 he had passed his sixty-second
birthday.
Both Thomas jefferson and James
Madison, who were the next two
presidents, were near the average age
OF presidents at the time of Inaugural
ton. When jefferson took the oath
OF Office in 1901 he was So years of
age, and the age of Madison when in
augurated eight years later was the
same.
James Monroe when inaugurated in
1917 was but one year older than JEFF
ferson and Madison at the time they
assumed the reins OF government
But in the earlier years of the ma
tons history IS seemed to be IA
vored age for president, and it was
at that age that John Quincy Adams
took his place in the list of chief ex-
ecutives in 1928.
Before Andrew Jackson realized
the height of his ambition and jour
neyed from the wilds of Tennessee
to Washington to take the oath of
Office in 1929 he had passed the six
ty-second milestone in his life,
though he lived l6 years longer, eight
of which he spent in the executive
mansion. President Van Buren, fol-
lowed Jackson to the white house,

country had had up to that time, be-

| followed Pierce in 1857, was the second
oldest president the people have ever
chosen for a first term, being &C years
of age at the time of his Inauguration.
The hrst of the three martyr presi-
dents, Abraham Lincoln, took up tho
duties of government at the most cru
cial time in the nations history when
he was SO years old. He had served
four years, one month and eleven days
when an assassin's bullet called AM
drew Jackson TO the head of the gov
eminent at the age Of 81.
The youngest man who has ever filed
the Office of president of the United
States up to the time President Roose-
welt took the oath Of the office in Buff.
falo was Ulysses S. Grant, who was but
AZ years of age at the time of his in
auguration. During the campaign
that resulted in the election of Grant
much stress was laid upon his youth
fulness by the opposing party, and the
voters were never permitted to lose
track OF the fact that he was younger
than any man ever honored with the
highest gift in the power of the people.
After eight years Grant gave place
to Rutherford b. Hayes. who took the
prescribed oath at Washington when
he was 81 years old. After four years
he In turn gave place to the second Of

tracted at that time resulted in his
death one month later, and his death
gave place to John Tyler, who as
sumed the grave responsibilities at
tendant upon the exalted position at
the age of 81 years.
When James X. Polk was inaugu-
rated in 1s45 he was but so years Of
age, and was at that time considered
almost too young to have reached the
age of discretion. He was younger by
five years than any other man elected
70 the presidency up TO that time,
though President Tyler was but 81
when the death of his superior threw
the reins Of government into his
hands.
Zachary Taylor, the hero Of Buena
Vista, followed Polk in 1s49 at the age
OF 65, but like President Harrison he
did not live 70 complete his term and
died after having been in Office but
one year and four months, giving place
to Willard Fillmore, who was but so
years of age when he took the oath Of
Office.
Franklin Pierce, who was inaugu-
rated in 1853, was but 40 years OF age
when he took the oath of Office, and
was the first president to drop below
