YOUNG OLD MEN.
Youth Gets to tho Front and Old Men
Remain Active.

(Thos. F. Logan in Leslie's.)
A generation ago it was customary
to talk of those who had reached 40
rs of mature age. A man of those
years is now considered young and
at 60 or 20 can have a brilliant future
still ahead. That our forefathers had
no such conceptions of relative youth :
fulness can easily be shown The
constitution provided that no one
should be eligible for election to the
reasons advanced being that such a
restriction was necessary in order to
keep the senate made up of grave and
reverend seigniors-elder statesmen
WHO would not be blown about with
every veering wind of political doc
trine. Today there is not senator
who is just barely beyond the age
limit, and the great majority do not
come into senatorial honors short of
so and So. Alexander Hamilton was a
sedate secretary of the treasury at
SO. The younger Pitt became prime
first lord of the treasury and
chancellor of the exchequer of Eng
land at "a. Washington spoke of re-
tirement from active life to well earn
ed rest and leisure for his remaining
years when still but 46. In recent
times we have had no presidents
young in years by the former stand
ards, unless Roosevelt be classed as
an exception in connection with his
first term of service. Even the pop
ular novelists have sensed the change
now making their successful business
men of 40 or thereabouts attractive to
the heart Of the female reader. This
is admittedly an age of young men,
as have been claimed, but they are
still young anywhere on the sunnyside
of 70 and many of the most efficient
have passed the threescore mark.

SILVER AND THE WAR.
Permanent Enlargement Of Use of the
White Metal Seems Assured.

into the war against Germany make.
"A noteworthy and permanent advance
/ in silver more certain than ever
European debts, mounting into the
billions, supplemented by huge debt
/ of the United States, will create q
hitherto unprecedented demand for
the white metal for coinage purposes
If the South American countries take
an active part against Germany they
too will be compelled ito increase
their national debts, and must turn
to silver TO bolster their monetary
system. Nearly the whole world will
have its assets in hook and cannot
obtain enough gold to meet its oh
legations, because there is not enough
of the metal above ground to sup
ply their needs.
That the amount of silver required
by the many nations now involved in
war will be in the billions rather than
the millions of dollars worth, looks
very probable. Never was the future
of the white metal as promising as
it is at this time, and a boom in its
production, of stupenduous proper
tons, seems altogether certain
Although many old silver properties
in the west have been reopened af-
ter years of idleness, the silver boom
has only started, and should rapidly
gain momentum from now on. Siren
uous work and a heavy output of sill
Yer will be necessary to adequately
supply the minis of Chrstendom.
The worlds production of silver in
1916, estimated to be 177,3S0,00
ounce, was the smallest for a decade
and fell 100000 ounces short of tho
output in the record year of 1911.

AUSTRIAN IS HELD
UNDER $4,000 BOND

Charged with operating a fraud
through the mails. David L. Neuwirth,
a native Austrian, was held in s, 900
bond for the action of the grand jury
yesterday after hearing before Com
missioner Isaac r. Hit.
Operating under the name of 'The
Universal Polish Aid Corporation" the
authorities allege, Neuwirth claimed
that he had q man In Holland who
would forward mail to Poles In Aus
tria, charging x1.o6 to send each let
ter. He never sent the letters, and
the persons who entrusted him with
the cash for this purpose became sus-
picious. The postofice inspectors were
soon on his trail.
There are, the authorities say, no
legitimate means to get mail into Aus
tria as the United States Is practi-
caliy at war with that country. Neu-
virth 1t Is alleged, admitted to the
inspectors that he escaped from Aus
tria to avoid military duty.
