Spokesman Review. !
Roosevelt is 55. The average age
of 24 presidents, Washington to Mc-
Kinley, was 68 years, 4 months and
15 days. Had Lincoln, Garfield and
McKinley been spared to round out
their natural lives the average would
be greater, probably 70 or more. :
Our only ex-president therefore
has reasonable expectation of 15 I
years of vigorous existance. Since '
be is a rugged wonder, bis span of i
life may carry him to 80, the age of i
John Quincy Adams at death, or 83 j
with Jefferson, or 85 with Madison,
or even 90 with John Adams. i
Proof that Roosevelt is a rugged
wonder is found in his extraordinary
mental vivacity and physical vigor
after the strain of seven years in the
White House. His amazing strength
is without parallel in American history.
Grant, .we believe, was the only !
ex-president to tour the world after
two terms in the White House.
Washington was weary and longed
for the peace and quietude of rural
life. John Adams wrote much In
retirement. Jefferson interested
himself in education and founded a
college. Jackson retained his party's
leardership. John Quincy Adams
went to Congress. Tyler was in re
tirement from 1845 to I860 and
then was president of a peace con
ference. Filmore commanded a
corps in the civil war. Johnson
served a short term in the United
States Senate.
But all the other ex-presidents
went into quiet retirement. None
of them even measurably approached
the strenuous after achievements of
Roosevelt, who seems as young at 55
as most men at 30, and after two
terms of president sets upon the hard
task of exploring the planet. With
all the eager enthusiasm of youth
he plunges into the depths of the
African jungle, and between contin
ental explorations finds minor ad
venture in a strenuous and unsuc
cessful campaign for the presidency.
Now he emerges from the trackless
jungle of unexplored Brazil, where he
traced for a thousand niiles the un
known headwaters of a great river,
emerging alive and sound from the
hardships and perils that drove to
madness one of his party and drown
ed another In the wrirlpools of the
angry river. Five of their seven
canoes were sucked down in the tur
bulent rapids.
And here he is, "fit as a fiddle,"
to make another race for the presi
dency, lead a regiment, a brigade, a
corps or a division in Mexico, write
several books or race off to Tibet or
the unexplored depths of Borneo.
He is he world's most virile and In
teresting personality. Even his
critics must confess him that.

ating expenses from year to year ? Not many. Well, let's reduce
our taxes and cut down our expenses. Charles A. Johns, of Portland,
is running on that platform and stands on his platform. Get him on
the job! , Start thinking about this today!
Will you elect a man who will cut down expenses and reduce

REMGIOX.
Belief In a religion, whatever It
may be, Is a saving, uplifting quality-
It makes for the best in business life
and for the highest citizenship. It
may be said that this is not always
true. There are backsliders in the
churches, but there are more out
side of them. The mere fact that a
man who sins happens to be a church
member causes general comment. So
the exception proves the rule. It
may be said that a man can be up
right without having religous con
victions. This is true, but the man
or woman with strong religious con
victions must be upright. It is "can"
in the former and "must" in the
latter instance. A merchant with a
world-wide reputation for integrity,
but with no church affiliations, said
to the writer:. I have profound re
spect for the merchant who sincere
ly believes in his religion, whether
he be active in church work or not.
My books show that these can bo
trusted above all others. They have
involved me in much smaller losses
than those who have had no church
connexions and no religious con
victions." Is this not a refreshing
word in the present period of doubt,
distrust and discontent? Leslie's.
