THE CASE OF HARVEY VS.. HARVEY.

ooh ,ba, mine enemy would write book" was the prayer OF
some cyeneeu soul II is always considered good form to use
mans book in making out against him. However ISN'T
absolutely necessary his writings be embodied in bound
yome newspaper and magazine articles II properly preserved
will answer the purpose quite well Col George Harvey our
ambassador the Of St James the latest public man
of prominence be compelled go through the ordeal OF facing
the fire OF his own batteries.
For the evidence bearing upon the OF Harvey VS. Harvey
wcare indebted to the Dallas News and of the readers OF the
Springfield Republican will be remembered that Col Harvey
recently delivered speech before the Pilgrim society in London
of which he took occasion repudae IL their en-
tirety the which Woodrow Wilson declared prompted
America the Now that the Springfield Re
publican reader had some sort recollection Col Harvey
had said this subject previous occasion Digging up the
files OF the North American Review he found that the Colonel had
written very emphatcay regard to the matter IN the issue OF
May 1917
should be borne in mrd thai President Wilson forth the
American for going to ms famous address to con-
gess in April 1917 OF that address Col Harvey wrote month
later declaring that would 've history less striking in
OF Thomas Jefferson and quite far reaching in
consequence the King John of the barons OF
England He further asserted that Mr. Wilson's address was the
natural and logical consequence OF the Declaration OF ndepend
and the Emancipation Proclamation He also quoted as ex
pressing his opinion paragraph from speech delivered by
Chas f. Hughes secretary of state which the latter said
There has been finer statement of principles OF
ideals OF the motives which influence the days OF LIN
coin than stated the maces paper of President Wilson,
In pouring out his enthusiastic approval of Mr. Wilson's ad
dress and its lucid exposition for going
Col Harvey particular pains emphasize his endorsement
OF the that "the world must be made de-
mocracv" That was in Nav 1917 remember Four wears later
Col Harvey standing before audience in London turning
loose all his wealth of the address which Mr. Hughes
called machless state paper and which he himself had
generously praised On this OCCASION he declared that all
about Americas fighting make the world safe for
democracy the simple truth of the matter that fought
solely to save skins
Thus it will be noted the testimony of COL Harvey in 1921
is squarey in conflict with his testimony in 1917 To reconcile
what he wrote four years ago with what he said his London
address, is his puzzle However it appears that
the comment of the Dallas News is pertinent
1T has been said that Col Harvey got inspiration and guid
for his London address from the campaign speeches of Mr.
Harding. Possibly he did OF a certainty he did get them
from persua of what he himself had written This evidence
that Colonel Harveys convictions the sport of time cm-
stance and mood will commend the opinions he expressed
the consideration of those whom his office to bring
under his But if Cooney Harvey has brought
integrity of his mind under suspicion he given signal
proof of his subervience those from whom he
For what better proof could there be than he supplies when
put himself in accord with Mr. Harding he bellies his
mer profession of accord with Mr. Wilson," U
