FROM PRESIDENT TO CONGRESS
One Chief Magistrate Held Office for
Sixty Years.

Which OF the IS Presidents of
the United States filled the most
Offices, and served longest in pub
lie life? Investigation shows he
was John Quincy Adams. 1t can
be said heslived aud died in Office.
He certainly died in that relation
i'll 1913. while member Of the
House of Representatives, and in
the very hall where he had served
continuously eight terms, 10
years, beginning four years after
his Presidential term had expired
in 1929 The more early Presi-
dents seemed not to think of ac-
cepting Office after their Presi-
dental terms had expired, but
Quincy Adams changed the Gus
tom.
1t would be difficult to list all
the different Offices or places he
filled in his long life, beginning
in his boyhood, when his father,
John Adams was so much and
often abroad, as Minister to about
half of the National Courts Of
Europe, including England. J. Q.
Adams was one Of the four Amer
lean statesmen who negotiated the
treaty of Client with England on
the day before Christmas, two
weeks before the battle of New
Orleans January 8, 1915. Had
the ocean cable then existed,
there would have been no cele-
bration of the eighth of January.
And where would the immortal
Jackson have stood in history.
]. Q. Adams in early life, was
State Senator in Massachusetts,
then a Congressman, later a Uni
ted States Senator. Secretary Of
State for the whole of President
MonrOe's two terms, elected Pres
ident by the House of Represen-
tatives in 1924, the only election
of the kind in our history. A
candidate for reelection 1928, and
defeated by Gen. Jackson. But
the strange part of his lite was to
be candidate so often for Cong
ress, after he had filled the Presi-
dental chair. He must have had
taste and even a wish for office.
AS a Congressman, he was active,
useful and aggressive even in his
aged years, the last of which lie
called "nosthu1nous life. " His
official career lasted over 60 years
with but few intervals.
Jackson was once a judge, then
a congressman, while that body
sat in Philadelphia, and in the
early twenties, a Z. S. Senator a
few years. Andrew johnson, one
of the accidental Presidents, filled
number of Offices before the
Presidential chair fell to him so
sadly. Some years later he be-
came a Senator from Tennessee,
died in 1875, while a member.
John Tyler, another of the acct
dental presidents, it was humor-
ously said, accepted a road super
visorship of three years and elev
en- months. T. B.
