EnsIand's Weakening.
With the Political Procession.
By r. b. G.

When Senator Root pleaded advancing
age against the Presidential proposition
he probably had in mind the precedent
that Chief Executives have usually been
below the threescore mark when chosen,
and none have reached the age OF three
score and ten either before Inauguration
or at the close of their service.
Senator Root knows the history of his
country and details even TO ages of Presi-
dents, and is no doubt impressed with the
fact not generally known that most of
the Presidents have been under sixty
when they took hold of the government
lever. The oldest was William Henry
Harrison, who came in at age of sixty
eight. but he died a month later. His
grandson, Benjamin Harrison, began at
ffty-siX and died a dozen years later at
the same age reached by his grandfather.
Washington was fifty-seven when
chosen, and John Adams came in for a
single term at siXty-two. His son, John
Quincy Adams, came in nearly thirty
years later at fifty-seven, but both lived
many years after their executive services,
John Q. dying az Representative. Jeffer-
son was ffty-eight when chosen and lived
twenty-five years following inauguration
and two terms of service. Madison was
also fifty-eight at induction, and lived 20

be elghty-five years old. Monroe was ffty
nine; Jackson sixty-one, and Tyler fifty
one when their terms began. while Polk
was even sixty, having served long in the
House and declined a second Presidential
nomination. Franklin Pierce was forty
nine when elected and the youngest
Executive UP TO that time. Taylor was
well along in the sixties, and Fillmore,
the Vice President succeeding him was
fifty when sworn in. Buchanan was
siNty-siX and had held high place for
many years in the Senate and as minister
to England. He lived to be seventy-seven.
surviving the war. at his Pennsylvania
home. Lincoln was fifty-two and rugged
enough to survive many years, but for
the assassin's blow. Johnson succeeded
at the age of fifty-seven, and promised
more actively possible trouble when
chosen to the Senate ten years later, but
he died as the term began. Gen. Grant
was the youngest of Presidents, chosen
at forty-five and died at sixty-eight.
Hayes was chosen when ffty-four and
lived to be seventy-one. while Garfield
who succeeded him at the age of fifty,
died the same year. Arthur was a few
years beyond the half-century mark, and
Grover Cleveland forty-seven. William
Mckinley was fifty-tour when inducted
into ofice, and Roosevelt, the youngest
President when he first took hold. Taft
was near the half-century mark and
President Wilson fifty-seven. 1t will be

The Big Christmas Tree.

The people of Washington are within
three days of their first Community
Christmas Tree. They have every
right to feel proud that they are on
time with the plans for it; up to sched-
ule with their preparations for it.
They have every right to feel glad that
the fcrvor of enthusiasm with which
they inaugurated this new scheme for a
popular observance of holiday uni
versal in its acceptance by every race
and creed within, our nation has not
cooled.
The hours-for the time remaining
may best be measured in hours-that
remain for the completion of prepara-
tions will almost undoubtedly suffice.
A little more money is needed to de-
fray expenses, and the hope that it
will be Forthcoming from generous cit
liens who see the general benefit of
this Community Christmas Tree is
cheered by reasonable expectation. The
great chorus which will sing glee and
carol around the Community Christ
mas Tree needs but the one or two
rehearsals now set for them. The peo-
pie in general have been informed of
the purpose of the Community Christ
mas Tree, and are eager to welcome
it as an institution.
1t is not too much to predict that
the Community Christmas Tree, with
its encouragement to general comrade-
ship, will give to the people of the
District an inspiration they could get
from nothing else.

Braving Distant Dangers.

Whether or not Representative DON
ovan, of Connecticut, belongs to that
race whose members are reputed easily
to make themselves at home anywhere
under the sun, his challenge to Repre-
sentative Hobson, of Alabama, to a
forensic duel in Alabama on the prop
osition, That absence from Congress
by a Representative is justifable,' is
a very bold deed. Mr.. Donovan, whose
only appeal to national recognition so
far lies in his superogative support of
Representative Underwood and his
batting of Mr.. Hobson as Mr.. Under
woods opponent in the Democratic SEN
atorial campaign in Alabama, would be
put to it to hold his own if he met
man of Mr.. Hobson's ability as a cam
paigner on the home grounds in Con-
necticut. What chance New England
Yankee of Mr.. Donovan'S measure
ments, even if under the protectorate
of the magic name of Underwood.
would have in oratory against Mr..
Hobson in Mr.. Hobson's own State,
it is difficult to estimate without hurt
ing Mr.. Donovan's feelings.
Everybody will be grateful to Mr..
Donovan for his defiance of Mr.. Hob
son, whose alleged "absenteeism" ap-
pears to have been particularly OBJ
noxiouS to Mr.. Donovan; it is the per-
sonal touch of this kind that adds TO
the gayety of the nation. 1t is not
probable that the debate will take
piace-hardly even possible; but Mr..
Donovan has in the meantime made
the people smile, and displayed te-
merity greatly to his credit. Likewise,
he has paid very pretty compliment
to the House leader in whose reflected
radiance he would shine.
We learn, incidentally, that while Mr..
Donovan was offering to leave Washing
ton to convict Mr. Hobson Of a charge
of absenteeism, Mr.. Hobson was absent
from Washington listening to applause
which, whether it means votes and
election or not, must be very cheering
for candidate.

Parcel Post Is Peoples.

The people of the United States will
make a great mistake if they permit
any Inconvenience they may suffer in
cidentally to possible delays in the de-
livery Of their mail during the Christ
mas season to impel them to inveigh
against the principal factor of the
postal business this Christmas, the par
Gel post. They should remember that
the parcel post, like any other part of
the Postofice Department, is their own
Institution.
1t is not to be feared that COM
plants of this kind, which were reg
istered every Christmas before parcel
post was established, will result in the
disestablishment of the parcel post.
They may, however, serve to defer
such extensions of the parcel post as
now are desirable and probable In
efecting this postponement they will
accomplish nothing else, if we except
the discomfort of the postal authori-
ties against whom their harsh criti-
cisms are directed.
Never before has the Postofice De-
partment of the United States SO near
ly approached a full achievement of
the public benefits of which it is po-
tential Its newest functions, the
banking of savings and the transport
tation of articles hitherto carried ex-
clusively by the express and railway
companies, are already being dis
charged efficiently. That the holiday
stress of business for the parcel post
should subject the Postofice Depart
ment or any part. of it to condefnna-
ton is unjust and inexpedient, too.
The Postofice Department can and
should be made more and more useful

Statesmen, Real and Near.
BY FRED c. KELLY.

II
| Nothing ever bothers William G. Nc
| it's a little thing.
The great affairs of his office never
interrupt the calm, even tenor of his way
| at all. And II he had to ride a stee
girder up to the top of a slyscraper in
| the course of the days work. as he did
on one occasion when the Hudson
terminal buildings were under construc.
ton, that would not even muss up his
eyebrows.
But IL he can't find his fountain pen
when he wants it-that is something else
again.
A mouse can stampede a whole flock OF
elephants, and a lost fountain pen can
completely upset the office Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
Just why McAdoos fountain pen should
always be scampering out Of sight and
hiding itself away in odd hooks and
crevices among the things on his desk.
he does not know. He only knows that
when he wants 1t the pen is never around.
McAdoo signs his name with a rather
peculiar flourish and takes his pen in
hand in a rather peculiar way. 1t is an
unusual fountain pen he uses, too, a
massive, goldbound pen that will hold
enough ink at one filling to write the
whole book of Genesis. McAdoo likes to
use that pen and no other. If he gets
ready to sign a lot of papers and the
pen is not there. when he remembers
distinctly of having II right there only
a minute before, a storm breaks out. At
the time Of such cataclysms, all the mes
sengers and stenographers about that
suite of offices step into the breach and
help search for McAdoo's pen. The hunt
is stirring event while it lasts.
However, the main idea Of this story
was not to tell about McAdoo's pen but
about his first meeting with the dicta-
phone.
For a long time. beginning with a~pre-
vious administration. Treasury officials
had on their desks a little outfit by means
Of which they could talk to one another
without the bother of calling up through
the departments central exchange. This
form of dictaphone had no arrangement
for recording conversation. but il one
pressed q little button and the man at
tht other end pressed another little but
ton. conversation might arise out OF the
thing as II from out OF no where. and one
could listen without the use of a tele-
phone receiver. Talk over the device al
ways sounded queer-Iike the noise of a
little dog barking away on somewhere in
the distance-but even at that the thing
was considered handy.
Now, McAdoo had been in office for
some time before he knew there was such
an institution about his desk as dlcta-
phone. When he learned il was there he
was seized instantly with boyish desire
to ''see how It worked" So one or two of
his Office assistants undertook to show
him.
You see." they told him, you press
this little jigger here and that starts the
thing to buzzing. It keeps on making .
