SATURDAY EVENING,
THE PANAMA
CANAL AT WORK
[Continued from Editorial Pago.]
By Frederic J. Haskin
1 of them are richly dowered in worldly
goods. The bride's father, for ex
ample. may present the young couple
with a' few houses in Panama and a
farm in the country. The groom's
father will probably contribute a
suitable residence and SIO,OOO in gold
for a honeymoon. Jewelry of the
ornate and elaborate sort favored by
Panamanian taste will be showered
upon the bride by her innumerable
relatives. The young couple will
usually spend several months in Eu
rope upon their honeymoon. It is a
significant fact that since the Eu
ropean war began most of them have
been coming to the United States, and
or.e of these interesting couples may
he found upon nearly every passenger
boat plying between New York and
Panama.
Thus the life of the Panamanian
aristocrat is pleasant and easy. It
moves in the well-worn grooves of
tradition. It is filled with the pleas
ures of the senses and devoid of
worry, hurry and excessive effort.
This opulent life of the upper class
of Panama rests upon the swarming
lower classes like some splendid struc
ture built upon piles sunk deep in
mire. Just as the aristocrat of
Panama has everything, so the peon
has nothing—neither privilege, wealth
nor hope. Nearly all of the land is
owned by the aristocrats: it is said
that six men in Panama own nearly
all of the cattle; everything worth
having belongs to the ruling class. The
Panamanian peon lives in a palm
thatched hut and cultivates a bit of
ground rescued from the jungle. He
raises plantains, bananas, yams, and
catches fish from the rivers suid the
bay. Upon these thingß he li\fs. and
he sells enough of them to pay tribute
In the form of rent and taxes to his
all-powerful masters.
Ruling: Note Is Contentment
Thus in Panama the stage seems set
for a social revolution. Here is a
down-trodden class, deprived of all
rights and hopes, and a dominating
class numerically much smaller, living
on the fat of the land. The time seems
ripe for a Panamanian Robespierre.
But there is not going to be anv
social revolution in Panama. That is
one of the sure things. They have had
fifty-seven so-called revolutions there,
according to local historians, but none
of them have been class wars. They
have been fights for political "pie"
between cliques of the ruling class.
The dominant note of all Panama
nian society is contentment, and that
contentment is the key to Panamanian
life. The peon is poor and always
will be poor in his own right, but by
nature he is one of the richest men on
earth. He scratches the ground with

. his machete and rich tropical fruits
grow up to nourish him. The jungle
swarms with and the waters
with fish. The point of view of the
peon was well expressed by one of
them who was ottered a job by an
American contractor.
"Why should I work? I have pants
and a shirt," was the reply of this un
conscious philosopher. He had named
the necessities of life.
Everybody Satisfied
The earth yields everything else he
needs, and what he has never known
he does not miss. All in Panama,
from the poor peon in his hut to the
wealthy landlord, are satisfied with
life. And therein lies the explanation
of their aversion to change and pro
gress.
An account of the people of Panama
would not be complete without men
tion of the San Bias Indians, one of
the most remarkable primitive tribes
on the hemisphere. They live in a
wild tract of country in the northern
part of the republic and number some
25,000. In habits they are quite primi
tive, those on the coast living almost
entirely by fishing and trading the
natural products of the jungle, while
the inland tribes practice a limited
agriculture. They are a sturdy, well
built people, deep-chested and broad
shouldered, with long arms and short
legs, giving them a slightly grotesque
appearance, but great power and
activity. They are Intelligent and of
a high morality, being largely uncor
rupted by the civilized vices.
These people share the prevailing
conservatism. Their desire is to live
their lives unmolested, and to keep
the blood of their race pure. It has
long been one of their rules that no
alien could remain overnight in their
villages, and this is still said to be
rigidly enforced by many of the tribes.
Fearless and Independent
Fearless and independent, these In
dians have never acknowledged the
sovereignty of the Republic of Pana
ma. Recently, the government sent
some of Its representatives to the San
Bias country for the purpose of pro
moting certain industrial develop
ments. The Indians forthwith resented
this intrusion by raising the Colom
bian flag. This, however, did not Indi
cate any feeling of patriotism for the
country which once owned their lands,
but simply an appreciation of the fact
that the Colombians had left them
alone.
There are other tribes in the In
terior of Panama, about which very
little is known. One of these is the
Talamanca Indians, who are accredit
ed with a unique practice of gambling
for wives. It is said that each man
entering this game puts one wife (he
has several) into the pool. The con
testants then stand in two rows, armed
with the throwing clubs, which are
their most effective native weapons.
A battle of throw and dodge then
starts, and continues until only one
man is left standing. He gets the en
tire "pot" as an addition to his domes
tic establishment. The existence of
this custom is vouched for by a num
ber of reputable traders in Colon, who
have been in the habit of getting up
parties to witness this unique amuse
ment.

GREAT SIMiKRS OF A CENTURY
The nineteenth century has justly
: been called the century of wonders, for
iin one hundred years the world ad
vanced materially, more than it had,
almost in. one hundred centuries pre
ceding. In the Fine Arts music flour
ished in the nineteenth century as
there are no signs of Its flourishing in
the twentieth. Consequently, with the
richness of musical life, the world had
a series of singers whose names are
treasured by all those who love the
finest manifestation of the art of music
—song.
Melba was born in the nineteenth
! century and hap reached the summit
of her achievements in the twentieth.
The concert tour she Is making this
| year is of supreme Importance to all
those Interested in the art of singing,
for Melba. Is unique among singers,
not merely In the matter of voice but
In the perfection of its use.—Adver
tisement.
MAY ROBSON
May Robson, as Jolly as ever, comes
i to the Orpheum next Thursday evening
in a revival of Anne Warner's comedy
of humor and humanity, "The Rejuve
nation of Aunt Mary," and a comedy
playlet, John Henry," based on Eliza-,
beth Jordon's character sketches, in
which she achieved the greatest suc
cess of her career. Anyone who has
seen the hilarious play In seasons past
will vouch for Its entertaining quail
ties and to those who have the blues
or feel rather glum or morose, It Is es-
Fiecially recomfnended. From the open
ng of the play until the very end
there is nothing but continuous roars
of laughter of the side-splitting va
riety, with just enough pathos for a
oreatalng spell. Miss Robson, through
it all is natural and effective, and of
the many comedy roles she has creat
ed none has suited her to a greater de
gree.—Advertisement.
"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN"
There has never been so lavish and
adequate a production of "ITncle Tom's
Cabin" as that which Mr. Burgess will
offer amusement lovers at the Or
pheum next Friday, matinee and night.
The scenes, Which are large enough to
till the most spacious stage, could not
easily be improved. Those r, present
ing the Ohio river in winter, the rocky
pass in which George Harris protects
his family; the St. Claire plantation,
the levee at New Orleans, the cotton
fields In full bloom, and the "Celestial
City" are all most notable effects. Each
pictures the realitv as closely as paint,
and canvas will permit and the stage
fiersnective is so deep that the effect
h exceptionally pleasing. The company
is also worthy of the environment. Tom
Atkins, the eminent minstrel star, of
fers an excellent study of "Uncle Tom."
