AGES OF PRESIDENTS.
None Were 70 When Elected, and No
Vice President Was go.

None Were 10 When Elected, and No
Vice President Was 60.
The age of the President of the
United States is always an interesting
subject. 1t may not be generally
know that Is of the Presidents of the
United States, from Washington to
now have been between 80 and 60
years of age at the time they were
sworn into Office. Four of them
Pierce, Garfield, Cleveland, and
Roosevelt-were under 50. Three
were between 60 and Co. Three, Will
liam Henry Harrison, Zachary Tay-
lor and James Buchanan-were SO
and over. Harrison was IS when he
took the oath of office. Several of
the Presidents who served two terms
were under 80 on the date of their Sec
Ond inauguration.
Of the entire number of Vice. resi-
dents who have succeeded to the
Presidency all were under go. John
son was 81. Tyler 81. Fillmore so,
| Arthur 81, and Roosevelt AZ on their
succession. Most of the Vice Presi-
dents were in the SOS or below that
age at the time of their qualification
for office. The oldest was Elbridge
Gerry, who took Office in 1918 at the
age of 70. William r. King qualified
in 1868 at 81; Hendricks was G6 and Lee
vi p. Morton was 60. The records of
history show that both the Presidency
and Vice-Presidency have, in the es-
timation of the people, been placed
in the hands of men who were in their
prime-between so and 60, youth So
bered, mental powers ripened by iudg-
ment, and the physical man ripened
to maturity. The Judgment of the
whole people is usually wise one,
and it is not likely that they will ever
select as Chief Magistrate, or one who
may possibly succeed to thatposition,
a man who has already lived 10 years
beyond the allotted span of human
life.
The closest male relative of the
First President, George Washington,
is Lawrence Washington, a grand
nephew of the Father of his Country.
Lawrence Washington possesses the
George Washington characteristics as
left in the Gilbert Stuart portrait, in
very strong resemblance. OF course,
it goes without saying that he isn't
pretty" No human being could ev-
err have called Washington any more
than fine figure OF a man." for
presumably he was with all that stat
