There are two classes of employees
down here, the gold and the silver. The
gold employees are the whites and the
silver the niggers.
"The boulevards and streets in the
Canal Zone are something New York
could be proud of and I doubt if they
can come up to them. In Panama City
things are just the opposite. The
streets arc so narrow you have to
stand edgewise when street car goes
past. Every other house is a saloon
and booze is even sold in the drygoods
stores.
"While we were in Honduras we saw
the real 10Th century stuff. They have
oxen drawing two-wheeled carts along
narrow, crooked paths they call
streets. The people were holding Re-
ligious week in one place we visited.
All the people in the town were march
ing down the street with candles and

of a sudden there would be regular
celebration of noise. They were car
