WAS VICE PRESIDENT AT SO
John cabelI Breckenridge of Kentucky
the Youngest Man Ever to Hold
the High Office.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic
candidate for vice president, was
asked whether, if elected at thirty
eight, he would be the youngest vice
president of the United States. He
did not know, but hoped some of his
friends would look the matter up.
John Cabell Breckenridge was
elected vice president on the Demo
cratic ticket with James Buchanan in
1856. He assumed office March 4,
1857, when he was thirty-six years,
one month and fourteen days old.
When Breckenridge completed his
term he was candidate for President
as representative of the slave-hOlding
interests, but was defeated by Lin
coin. The same year he was elected
to the United States senate, but soon
afterward joined the Confederate
army. From January to April, 1863,
he was secretary of war in the cabi-
net of Jeff Davis. He died in Lexing-
ton, KY, May II, 1879.

MAN OF OPTIMISTIC STRAIN
Millionaire Bought Laundry" Instead
of Launch" but He Refused to
Be Discouraged.

Millionaires are supposed to lean to-
ward a philosophic pessimism, but
there is one who is evidently a genu-
inc optimist.
He met a friend and said: "Come
and see my new steam laundry"
The friend was somewhat sur
prised.
Il didn't know you went in for that
sort of thing" he said.
81 don't as a rule" replied the mil
lionaire. 81 bought this one quite by
mistake. 1t was the auctioneer's fault.
l hadn't time to get a catalogue, and
l thought he said steam launchi So
1 nodded, and they landed me with
it."
That millionaire is going to make
that laundry pay!

Martens Is Deported at Last

Well, Ludwig G. A. X. Martens,
Russian soviet representative in this
country. is on his way home. 1t took
quite a while to get rid Of him. but
he was deported at last After
months of inquiries, hearings and de-
liberation, Secretary Wilson of the de-
partment of labor reached the con-
clusion that Mr.. Martens was "affili-
ated with an organization which seeks
the overthrow of the United States
government by force and violence"
Mr.. Martens has made no secret
of the fact that he hoped and prayed
for the day when a proletarian die
tatorship would supplant the present
government of the United States; but
In this pious expectancy he includes
all other so-called capitalist" gov

PersE ng UrgA Disarmament

Gen. John J. Pershing is urging
disarmament by all nations. This is
a notable fact, inasmuch as General
Pershing is a professional soldier and
general of the United States army.
It was at a dinner in New York ito
the starving children of Europe" that
General Pershing said:
1.-THE world does not seem to learn
from experience. 1t would appear
that the lessons of the last six years
should be enough to convince every
body Of the danger of nations striding
about the earth armed to the teeth.
"But no one nation can reduce
ornaments unless all do. Isn't it,
then, time for an awakening among
enlightened peoples to the end that
the leading powers may reach some
rational agreement which would not
only relieve the world of this terrible
financial load, but which in itself
would be long step toward the pre-
vention of war"
