Or if they s!'licl, "Who was President just before Jl.lillnrd Fillmore and who just after him?" could you answer rromptly? If you were one of those persons who, as n school· boy or gi 1'1, had to learn "The Presidents In Rhyme," perhaps you could. Don't you remember it-that lung string ot couplets which listed the Presidents in order and to whic-h some one added· another <'Ouplet whenever a new Chief Executive was elected? If you didn't. here It is: First st:.nds the lofty Washington, That noble, great, Immortal one. The elder Adams next we see, And Jefferson comes number three. The fourth Is Madison, you know, The fifth on the list, Monroe. 'rhe sixth an Adams comes again, And JaCkRon seventh in the train. Yan IJuren <'ighth upon the line, And Harrison <"ounts number nine. The tenth Is Tyler, In his turn, And Polk the eleventh, as we learn. The twelfth Is Taylor that appears, The thirteenth Fillmore fills his years. Then Pierce comes fourteenth into view; Buchanan is the fifteenth due. Now Lincoln comes two terms to fill, But Cot! o'errules the people's will, And JohnRon fills the appointed time l Cut short b ~ an assa~Rin's crime. Next Grant assume~ the lofty seat, The man who never !mew defeat. Two terroR to him; then Hayes succeed!'. And quietly the nation leads. Garfield comes next, the people's chol<-e But soon ascends a mourning voice From Pvery hamlet in the land. A brutal wret<-h with murderous hanit fltrikes down tbe <'OUntry's <"hosen <-hlef And anxious millions mourn In grief. Arthur's term was then begun, \Vhich made the number twenty-one. Then came the "l\1an or Destiny," Honest and strong In policy, Grover Cleveland, whose first term 11-~ade the politicians squirm. But when election day rolled rouni1 Harrison was more popular foundA man of !ntellectual mold, In action cautious, manner cold. So when his single term wns over There followed four years more or Grover. McKinl•!Y then, the well-beloved, A most efficient pilot proveil. A crazed assassin laid him lowAgain the nation voiced Its woe. To fill the Interrupted term, "Our Ted·lv" followed, staunch and firm. A fighting statesman. forceful, true, And brilliant as a Rcholar, too. He taught the nation strenuous life, Yet kept It from Internal strife. Next ·raft, the Jurist, renched the goal, Four quiet years he held control. Then Woodrow Wilson, Princeton man. Eight fateful years of rule began, For under him our armies brave Went forth a whole world's peace to save. The war was won, but at what costThe nation soon this leader lost. In peace was Harding's term begun, But denth claimed him 'ere It was done Then Calvin Coolidge, calm and cool, Gave to our states a cautious rule. But what couplet will be added next? Will it be something like this: Now Herbert Hoover of Belgian fame Ad1!< to the Jist the thirtieth name. Or will it read something like· this: And now the roll call here ends with Democracy's champion, Alfred Smith. The answ{'r will be written on November 6. Dut whichever It is. some new items will be added to the record of what may I.Je called "Interesting Fa<'ts About Our !'residents." First of all, consider the "hist01·ieal firsts" which will be written into the annals of the nation. no matter whether the next occupant of the White House is nerbert C. Hoover or Alfred E. Smith. It Hoover ls electetl President he will be The first bearing tbe name of Herbert. 'l'he first who was a native or Iowa. 'l'he first bo1·n west of the Mississippi. The first who was a citizen of California. Presidency Hazardous The President of the United ::->tates follows a hazardous occupation, according to statistics compilPd by the Metropolitan Life In~uranee company. Only one !'resident :;::iuce the Civil war, Grover Cleveland, lived beyond bi~ normal expectnnc~· at Inauguration, and three-I.Incoln, Gul'field and JITI'KiniP_v-met prem:tture death, at the hantl>~ of assassins. Tak"n :ls a lot, however, tlte Amer· The first elected from the transMississippi We~t. The first who was a Quaker in rel!gion. . 'l'he first secretary or comrner<"e to be elevated to the Presidency, The first mining engineer to occupy the White House. If Rmith will be is electe•l President he The !lrst bearing the n:une of Alfred. The first who was a Catholic tn rel!gion. 'l'he first market man to become Chief Elxecu ti ve. Although Hoover, If elected, will brin~ more "firsts," as shown above, Smith, .11' elected, will be a better example of "history repenting ltsel f," IIoo">er as cabinet member becoming President will be the tenth to do that. Jefferson. 1\ladlson, 1\lonroP, J••lm Quincy Adams, 1\lartin Van Buren and .Tames Buchanan all served as secretary of state before they became President, and IHonroe, Grant and Tnft sen·ed terms as secretary of wnr. Ro the promotion from the cabinet to the \Vhite House will be lloover's only example of following precedent. Should Smith he electPd he will be the fourth President horn in New York and elected from that state. :\Iartin Van Buren, l\1lllard Fillmore and TheO(lore Roosevelt being the other three. He will be the sixth Pt·e~ident elected from the Empire state, however, since Chester A Arthur and Grover Cleveland, though born in Vermont and New JersP:v re :;::pecti,-ely were resi<lents of New fork when elected. Smith will also he the :;::econd President to have been a New York sheriff, Cleveland hetng the first. If Smith Is electert. lt will be the thil·d time that a governor of New York has gone from the execu tive mansion In Albany to the WhitP riouse. The other two were Van Buren and Roosevelt. If Smith is elected, 1t will place ' New York on almost an even basis with Virginia and Ohio as a training ground for Presidents. The Old Dominion still rightfully retains her title of "Mother of Presidents" with seven men born on her sol! who be· came President. They were Washing· ton, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler and Wilson, althougll Harrison and Wilson were eie<'ted from Ohio and New Jersey respec· ti VPiy. Ohio's record ls slx native sons elected to the Presidency. They were Grant (who was elected from Illinois, howe\·er), Hayes, Garfield, McKinley, Taft and llardlng, Since the religious Issue has been so prominent In the present campaign, It Is interesting to note the variety of religions which have been r(>pre· sented In the White House. There have been eight different sects Hnd whichever way the election goes this year a ninth Is due to be added. Eight l't·esidents have been Epis<'opallans, seven Presbyterians, four Methodists. three Unitarians, two of the Reformed Dutch faith, one Bap· tlst, one a member of the Disciples. l'rE'sident C'oolldge is a Congregation· ali st. Thomas .J efrerson was classed as a Liberal and a noted biographer declares that he was u believer in Christianity, although not a sectarian. While I't·esident Johnson was not a c!IHI"<'h memher he wus a Chl'istian heliever and his wife wns a 1\lethodlst, resulting in him being accredited to tl:at faith. • The !'residents who were Episcopalians were Washington, Mudi~on. t.ionroe, l1arrison, Tyler, Taylor, Pierce and Arthur. Those claimed as Presbyterians were Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Lincoln, Clevelnnd, Ilarri· son and Wilson. The Methodists were .Johnson, Grant, Hayes and McKinley. John Quincy Adams, Fillmore and lean Presidents by no means have been short lived, according to the life Insurance figures. The average age of the 2R now d(>ad Is 68.41 years, and the one living ex-President, Chief Justice William ll. Taft, Is Se\'enty.Kan~as City Star. Left-Handed President Jnmes A. Ual·field. thP t\1'<'111 il'fh l'I·esiflent of the l;n!teil Sta t{'s ha<.: b<:>en our only Pres:iOc·nt thus far who was left·hnnded. Harry A. Gr11·flehl, I 'l'aft were unitarians. Van Buren nnd Roosevelt were of tl•e Hefornied Dutch Faith. nanling was a Bupt ist and Garfield a Disciple. Sew~nteen of the Presidents were o/ EngUsh ancestry, six of Scotch-Iris\, two we1·e mostly Scotch and two of) Dutch <lescPnt, one chiefly \Yelsh nnd another Scoteb and Dutch. Fifteen l'rf'sidents were suns of farmers and pla'1ters, four were sons or lawyers, three of merchants, three of clergymen, and one ench of a doctor, a constable, a tanner and an iron maker. Eight Pre~<idents, as well as the present nominees, were born of fnmllies not blessed with worldly gonds. Others were born in varied circumstances, mostly middle-class. Although born of poor parents, Washington became one of the rich landowners of. his day, while none of the others attained riches. If fate should decree the election of Herbert Hoover, whose wealth Is estimated at se,·erul million dollars, he will probably enter the White House as the richest President ever to assume office. There have been twenty Presidents who went to college, some of them by their own efforts. Mr. Hoover Is also a college man, but Governor Smith went throu~h the "School of Experience." l!'lfteen Presidents were sol<.liers in one or more of the wars in which America has participated. Neithet· of .tile two present nominees saw military service. Both of the candidates this year are a little over the average age of their pre<leces><ors on Inauguration, which was fifty-four years and four months. Hoover Is fifty-six and Smith is fift~·-fiw. The average age of Presfd{'nts at their death was sixtyeight years and seven months. Roosevelt wa '· at forty-twq, the youngest President to assume office. Grunt, Cleveland, Pierce, Poik and Garfield were Presidents before they were fifty. William IIenr.v Harrison was the Qlding, being sixty-eight. Garfield died youngest, forty-nine, the victim of an assassin's bullet. John Adams lived the longest. to ninety. 'l'hree Presidents, Lincoln, Garfield and McK!nle:v have been assassinated. Jackson was fired at while In office, and Roosevelt was wounded by a crank, during the campaign In which he was a candidate for a third term. Ten of the Presidents have been Pleeted twice, They are Washington, Jefferson, ~ladlson, Monroe, Jackson. 1 Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Mci<inley and Wilson. Eight served eight complete years-nil of the ai.Jove except Lincoln and 1\lcKinley, the victims of a!lsassins' bullets. Wllliam Henry llarrlson had the shortest period of service as President, dying after one month in the White House. Four who served as President were never elected, being Vice Presidents who served out the terms of their Presidents who had died. They were Tyler. Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur. Two Vice Presidents, however, who were elevated to the Presldt•ncy, were afterward elected in their own ri;::ht. They were Hoosevelt and Coolidge. Cleveland was a two-term President whose record was unique. He sen·ed one term, 1883-1889, was dPfeuted tJy Benjamin Harrison in 1888 but was eleeted again in 1S!J2 and served from 1893 to 18117. All l'residf'nts were married when elected, with the exception of Buchan· an, Tyler, I•'illmore, Benjan.ln IlUJ'I'ison. Itoosevelt and Wilson married twice. Tyler had the most children, se\·en by each marriage. Washington, Madison, Jackson, Polk and Harding were ehildless. John Adams wa!'l the father of a President and William Henry Harrison the grandfather ot one. president ot Williams college, say~ that his father was naturally lefthanded In childhood, but he learned to wt·lte with his right hand, aud ir. time became ambidextrous, using both hands with equul enl'e. '!'here is a story to the effect that President Gar· field once demonstratt•d his amb!dex· tE'rity hy writing In La tin with one lmnd whil.e he wrote Greek \Yith the "the1·.-Knm:ns Clty Star.
