BoatOD Transcript, HARVEY'S WEEKLY IS DEAD Col. Harvey's Weekly is dead. It died last week. A volun. tary death it was and who shall say that it lived not in vain 'i It was a war product.- Pierced by pride on nation and ancestry the old Colonel chafed under the delay of -declaring: War until he broke with bis president, Mr. Wilson the man whom he helped elevate to the chair and betook himself to writing caus. tic editorials on the administration. Although a life long Demo crat he changed front and supported Mr. Harding, who ;n turn appointed him ambassador to Great Britain. That is the his tory in brief of Harvey's Weekly which is now a thing of the ' past. Mr. Wilson surely will be' glad to know the weekly is dead.
