The Savannah morning news., 1901-09-30

realization OF the tact that he was on
oath and as evidently trying to tell the
exact truth, said that the wounded
Presidents words, when he glanced at
the assassin in the harsh hands of his
excited captors, were not, as we have
hitherto been told, Let no man hurt
him." but "Be easy with him, boys"
The difference between the two ex-
pressions is a striking one, and in try
ing to decide which Of them the Pres
ident probably used, several things
must be taken into consideration. The
witness who vouched for the more coll
loquial expression of the kindly wish
is a negro employee of the Exposition
Company, and ii may very well be
that, despite his honest desire to be
exact, he remembers only the meaning
of what he heard, and unconsciously
put that meaning in the guise that
would have been natural to himself
if he had been impelled to voice the
same wish. On the other hand, 1t is
more than doubtful that anybody,
thought to the form OF his expression
ever said. Let no man hurt him. I"
That is the language of books of ora
tons, of inscriptions on monuments;
il is not the Language which serves
either the ordinary or the extraordi-
nary needs of direct. personal inter-
course in real life. We incline to the
belief therefore, that the negro en-
ploye's version of the Presidents re-
mark is the correct one. and we have
no hesitation in saying that we like it
better than the other Let no man
hurt him" Is stately, OF course, and
Some may think IL more worthy on
that account OF naturalization in his
tory, but BE easy with him, boys"
conveys fully as much Of intrinsic no
bility, and II does IL in a simple. human
way that touches the heart and evil
dences something greater than con-
ventional, formal dignity. II was the
man, not the chief magistrate, who
was speaking then, and he aimed at
instant effect on those close 10 him, not
az the impressing OF posterity. BE
easy with him, boys" is a fine phrase.
