that over.
In our homo communities, we show
great activity In trying to locate factories

OF Thomas Jefferson, now owned by
Representative Jefferson Levy OF New

And Just to show how such things gst

Say, wouldn't 1t be a great joke on
Levy to start a movement Of that sort

laughed the Congressman.
Both chuckled over the idea, as they

as they stood each with foot on the
brass rail, reaching for the little card
board checks. the more they believed 1t
would be a rich practical joke in Levy.
They separated and the Congressman
went home to get into the conventional
corpse clothes and keep a dinner engage
ment.
II was a brilliant, though select. dinner
party. Among those at the table were
Senator O'Gorman. Mrs. Martin Littleton.
John Sharp Williams, Mrs T. p. OCon-
nor. and others, every one as smart and
clever as can be. All were in fine con-
versationaI fettle and the Congressman
referred to sought for a topic by which
ne could make a showing in the gay talk.
He happened to think of the joke on
Levy that he and his newspaper friend
had been discussing.
Turning to Senator OGorman, he ask
cd:
Have you heard about the movement
to take Monticello away from your con-
stituent, Jeft Levy?"
O'Gorman said he hadn't heard a thing
about it. The other guests perked up and
wished to know more about 1t, and the
first thing he knew the Congressman

Britain's ShreWd Move.

When two do the same thing" said
the old Roman classic. 1t need not
OF necessity be the same thing" This
well-knOwn diplomatic make-shift once
more is borne out by the editorial
comment of the London Chronicle
anent the British protest on our Pan
ANA Canal foliage laws.
No one expected that our powerful
London contemporary had any inten-
ton of breaking lance for any policy
that might mitigate against Great Brit
AIMS trade supremacy, but what sur
priseS is the making of such forceful
arguments for the sole purpose of
masking the truth, Let Us quote our
eminent British friend:
The main argument in the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty is based upon the
preamble TO the Hay-Pauncefote treaty,
which proposes to remove any obiec-
ton which may arise out of the CLAY
ton-Bulwer treaty to the construction
of such canal under the auspices of
the government of the United States,
without impairing the general princi-
pie of naturalization established in
Article VIII of that convention.
The Chronicle then goes on to
elaborate what this Article VIII has
TO say and how greatly Britain is be-
ing wrouged, because it stipulated that
the canal should be open to the sub
jects and citizens of Great Britain and
the United States on equal terms.
But what the Chronicle deliberately
overlooks, what it ''forgets" to men
ton, is that the very first article of
the same (Hay-Pauncefote) treaty,
proclaimed February u, 1902, stipu-
lates as follows:
Article 1.-The high contracting par
ties agree that the present treaty shall
supercede the aforementioned conven-
ton OF April IG 1850 known as the
clayton-Buiwer treaty.. (Of6cial
