Horace Greeley was not the first to
say, “ Go West, young man, go W est!’’
although history says that he did. The
man who first said It was John L. B.
Soule, editor o f the Terre Haute (Ind.)
Express.
In an editorial about the
West’s opportunities for young men he
declnred that Horace Greeley could
never have given a young men better
advice than contained In the words,
“ Go West, young man.”
Tills was
stated merely as Soule's opinion of
what Greeley might have said, but
newspapers all over the country re
peated the saying and credited it to
Greeley.
Finally the famous editor

Informed man on the life o f Lincoln
today, whose Investigations gnve to the
world last year the truth about Lin
coln’s famous Bixby letter, recently
set out to learn the truth about the
“ fool the people” quotation, which is
said to have been uttered at Clinton,

In one or more o f the five rem aining

opportunities to use effe c tiv e ly an un

tried again and ngain to get the dif
ferent roads to give them up; but they
will run tljem and, o f course, as long
as they run them, we must do the
same.”
Did General Sherman ever say,
“ W ar Is hell!” ? According to one ver
sion, lie made this dlktorie declaration
at a reunion o f fe.s brother’s brigade
at Caldwell, Ohio. Another says that
he uttered It at the graduating exer
cises of the Michigan Military acad
emy at Orchard Lake, Mich., on June
19, 1879. The eplgrnm, say some. Is
only an abbreviated quotation, the full
text of which Is, " I am tired and sick
o f war. Its glory Is all moonshine. It
is only those who have neither flred
a shot nor henrd the shrieks and
groans o f the wounded, who cry aloud
for blood, more vengeance, more deso
lation. W ar Is h e ll!" Others maln-
end at Clinton.
T h e evidence Is fa r
from conclusive,* but it Is not lackin g
In probability
It sounds lik e Lincoln,
and the occasion alleged Is one In
which the w..rds m ight appropriately
have been used.
But If Lincoln never spoke this
olever apothegm, then It would almost
seem possible to fool all the people all
the time; for all the people, virtually,
believe these words to have been L i n
coln’s.
I f “ the people” remember that Lin
coln «aid they couldn't be fooled all
tfce time, because they like to believe
that, then “ the public" well remembers
that It was once damned by a Vander
bilt, probably because o f popular preju
dice against Wall Street and men o f I
aioney.
The “public be damn, d ’
phrase is one over which there h a *'
been much dispute. It is usually, and
erroneously, ascribed to “Commodore"
Cornelius Vanderbilt, and members o f
the Vanderbilt family have often de
nted that It was ever uttered by one
• f their number. There has also been
