EPIeRAM IS NOT eREELEY's
Great Editor Long Wrongly Credited
With Advice, go West, Young
Man, Go West"

The famous epigram Go West.
young man, 60 West" SO commonly
attributed to the pen Of Horace Gree
ley, was not written first by that VEN
cradle editor Of the New York Tri-
bune, but by John L. B. SOule, editor
Of the Terre Haute Express. In 1851
Richard Thompson. afterward secre-
tary Of the navy, urged SOule to go
west and grow up with the country,
and praised the editors talents as a
writer. He wagered a barrel Of flour
that Soule could write an article that
would be attributed to Horace Gree
ley.
The result of the suggestion was
q column editorial about the Vests
opportunities for young men. 1t de-
clared that Horace Greeley could new
er have given a young man better ad-
vice than contained In the words, go
West. young man." Although stated
merely as Soule thought Greeley
might have put it. newspapers all
over the country began to credit Gree
ley with the epigram. So widespread
did the quotation become that Gree
ley's paper reprinted the editorial
from the Express. with the following
1ootnote:
"The expression Of this sentiment
has been attributed to the editor OF
the Tribune enormously. But so fully
does he concur In the advice 1t gives
that he Endorses most heartily the
epigrammatic advice of the Terre
Haute Express, and joins in saying,
go West. young man. go West"

DECLARED NECESSARY
AWAIT NEWS RESPONSE
TO TRUCE PROPOSAL
IN WAGE DEMANDS
President Wilson's Proposal of Increase
of Four Cents an Hour Is Now Be-
fore the Railroad Shopmen
for Consideration.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 26.-President
Wilson having laid down in his decision
yesterday on the demand of the railroad
shopmen for increased wages the policy
that settlement of such demands must
await restoration of normal economic
conditions, interest centered to-day on
what response the men would make to
the presidents appeal that they cooper
ate in maintaining a truce" in all wage
matters. The first indication of what
course the men would pursue was expect.
ed to-day IN an announcement from their
representatives here, who continued in
conference on the question with Acting
President Jewell of the railway em.
ployes' department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor
Announcing that the men would be
granted an increase Of four cents an
hour, President Wilson said in an accom-
panying statement that to meet their de-
mand for an increase of II cents an hour
from the present basic pay of 6s cents,
or 25 per cent, would necessitate higher
freight rates, which would add to the
already high cost of living and thus
defeat the governments efforts to solve
the most important question before the
country to-day, return to normal price
levels.
1--WE are face to face with a situa.
ton" said the president, (which is more
likely to affect the happiness and pros.
perity and event the life of our people
than the war itself"
The policy of deferring settlement of
increased wage demands pronounced by
the president affects not only the rail.
road shopmen but also the hundreds of
thousands of other railroad employees
who have wage demands pending before
the director general or who are about to
present them.

BIG PACKERS OWN
80 PER CENT. OF CARS
The Commission Proposes
That After the United
States Government Ac-
quires the Property 1t
Should Issue Licenses to
the Railroads to Own and
Operate the Cars.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 26--Declarine
that the step is necessary to control tht
business Of the five largest packing com
panies, the federal trade commission In
a special report to President Wilson rec
ommends that operation of refrigerator
cars and of cars used for transportation
of meat animals be declared govern.
ment monopoly.
It recommends further that the prop.
erty concerned, including icing stations
and other facilities as well as the cars
be acquired by the government, and rail
roads thereafter be licensed to own and
operate them. The big packers, the re-
port says, now own 80 per cent of all
the refrigerator equipment in the coun.
try suitable for the transport of fresh
meat.
The present country wide system Of
distribution by the five big packers has
grown up from their control of refrigera-
tor car lines in conjunction with various
pools" the report says. "In turn the
volume of traffic of the five packers has
enabled them to secure from the rail.
roads advantages over competing ship
pers"
The small independent packers cars
are misused and diverted, frequently be-
ing out of his service for extended pc
rods in several instances as long as six
months"
The commissions investigation of the
private car ownership has developed the
fact that while packers claim losses,
the report says, "a proper revision of
their car accounts" shows the car oper-
alton has netted some profit This
amounted to 6s per cent in 1912, 3.4 per
cent in 1914, and 4.3 per cent in 1917.

should have equal and adequate service.

advantages"
Thomas E. Wilson, president of Wilson
q Co., and chairman of the Institute OF
American Meat Packers, in statement
here to-day, said after an investigation
inexperienced in transportation questions
the trade commission presented a report
detrimentally opposed to that handed
down by the interstate commerce com
mission composed Of men experienced IN
railroad work. After six-year studv
of the question the interstate commerce
commission said: "An important part
of the interstate commerce of the colp.
try Is transported in privately owned
cars
There are admittedly too few refrig. |
orator cars. Spread the use of the
packH-owned cars among shippers over
the entire country and mileage will be
reduced with consequent increase in |
the cost OF meat foods or a necessary re-
duotion in live'animal prices. 1t would
seem that if real solution is sought it |
might be found by some agency building
enough additional cars to meet the de.
6ciency."
