When Harry Thaw was in the Can

question Of his deportation still unde-
cided. there were expressions Of SYM
pathy for him from the populace Of
the neighbcrhcod. and Of enmity for
those who sought to compel his re-
turn. Manifestly It was necessary to
have a theory to fit this fact. and sew
earl theories were promptly construct
ed. One Of the favorite ones was
that under the skin Of the French Ca
nadians there is an ineradicable dis
like Of America and Americans, and
as Thaw was at war with American
society, and Jerome and his associates
were representatives Of that society. 1t
was inevitable that there should be
a feeling Of friendship for the fugitive,
This theory worked very we'll for a
time. in fact. until Thaw had crossed
the line. Then there were the name

the man in Vermont and New Hamp-
shire that there had been in Quebec.
Evidently the theory Of national an
tagonsim would not apply here, and
the theorists are rather stumped for a
doctrine that will At both cases. Isn't
1t possible that the feeling may be
merely the usual one Of sympathy for
the under dog. no matter what the dog
