'ONN abc Would not this be an opportune time to organize that chamber of K'ni commerce?

George Harvey, editor of The wh North American Review, one time an ardent admirer of Woodrow Wilson, mf and who could not say too much in dif his praise, has now become very , 1*0 pessimistic and is now criticising the public acts of the President. The ^ Columbia Record attributes the an Colonel's present frame of mind to a Ari torpid liver, but the true cause Is doubtless his close proximity to Wall street and the great money interests.
