luxury. A pair of hares under favor

eaten breakfast seven hours before,

| The men in New York who are

one of the states of the republic of
Colombia, should recognize that
neither the American people nor their
official representatives in Washington
kind. Panama ID justly indignant at
the action of the senate of Colombia
in rejecting the canal treaty. 1t was
an unwise thing to do, and it may re-
suit in the loss to Colombia and es-
pecially to Panama of the proposed
waterway across the isthmus If. on
account of the action of the Colombia
senate, the people of Panama revolt,
it will be their affair, but they must
] not decide to take that course on the
supposition that TIE United States
| will go to their aid.
The Panama canal Is not worth
enough OF this country to Justify the
United States in violating the obliga-
tion Of neutrality. Colombia had a
right to reject the treaty, however un-
wise or foolish in the opinion of the
remainder of the world that act may
be. The United States would there
fore have no right to participate in q
revolution ON account of that rejec-
tion by giving aid and comfort to the

1t should Furthermore be observed
that this country is not compelled to
choose between canal at Panama
