UP and every other known article in the Grocery Line DROP IN OR CALL Phones 2180 or 2181 This, as will be seen, is a question. In general, questions are of two kinds. pertinent and impertinent, and although we are sanguine that many will categorize this as being the latter, we are just as sanguine to the contrary. And those who will so describe our question will mean that the question is intrusive, impudent, saucydisrespectful, insolent, meddlesome and officious, whereas, in point of fact, the question pertains to the subject, is relevant, apposite and appropriate is material, apt and proper. Therefore, those who use the denunciatory meaning to the question will be quite wrong. They will be attempting only to subdue the bull by holding on to its tail, an act which they themselves will soon discover in a very practical way to be extremely foolish.
But now, we ask another question, what is the IT in our first question? and we promptly answer. THE JUDICIAL CONSCIENCE that judicious knowledge of one own acts and feelings as to what is wrong, and what is right that innermost tutor which is described as a SENSE OF DUTY.
We have in mind in this connection the case of an aged West Indian, a poor old man of seventy summers, thirty of which he passed in the faithful service of the United States Government in the Canal Zone. It has been published elsewhere, that under certain circumstances, this old man took half a roll of toilet paper valued at two and one half cents from the place where he worked, for his use in the only way such a thing could be used, only that he expected to use it outside the particular place that was customary. It is generally felt that if the old man, since his arrest was compulsory, was reprimanded for attempting to use Government toilet paper in the wrong place, or anything like that, justice would have been amply satisfied.
But certainly not, he is a West Indian, an Alien, and the only way justice could be meted out to him, was to arl est him, try him, and charge him ten dollars, United States Currency for a few shreds of toilet paper valued at two and one half cents. Then, the end is not yet. It is our understanding that the old maz) has been fired in addition, thereby losing his thirty years service.
This case has caused us to wonder if there is any other place under the sun where such a penalty would be forthcoming to any mortal for having deprived its rightful owner of anything whatsoever, of the value of two and one half cents.
And a number of questions suggest themselves, viz: What does this mean? Does it mean that proof of a West Indian guilt is absolutely established by his arrest? Does it mean that every time a West Indian is taken into Court it is a res judicata. What, in the name of reason shall we say? To be honest, we confess to our utter confusion we are dumbfounded. But, maybe, this is a judicial master stroke and maybe, it is a marvelous and extraordinary exemplification of the judicial conscience. Really, we don know what it is, so we must accept the definition given to it by an American gentleman, on his reading the news item of the case in the Panama American, viz. GOOD GOD HIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF JUDICIAL INSUlearn. Pittsburg Courier CERVEZA BOHEMIA The annual Harvest Festival in connection with La Boes Wesleyan Church took place on Sunday last 14th inst.
At pm. a musical programme was rendered by the Choir and other friends from Panama, when the Rev. Wright, superintendent of the Circuit presided.
The Choir under the direction of Mr. Walters, excelled itself using Handel Hallelujah Chorus as a very appropriate climax.
The evening Soloists were Mr. N. Brown, Miss Hazel Whyte and the Misses Simmons of La Boca, Mesdames Olga King, Doris Reece and Mr. Dottin of Panama.
The accompanists of the evening were the Misses Unies Simmons Doris Rodney and Mr. Dottin. The Beautiful Snow was very ably reeited by Miss Mae Malcolm.
The presentation of the Children gifte was also a very important feasure of the programme.
In view of the fact that the church can accommodate only a limited number of persons on special occasions, the Rev. suggested that the proceeds of the Harvest be appro.
priated for its extension.
The evening programme was er joyed by a packed church and was brought to a close with the Dox ology 0000000000 DOO DOO0000000 ON TAP TO DAY Christian Endeavour Society BY GLASS ONLY NO BOTTLES WHERE COLOR LINES FADE Members of the Panama Wesleyan Society had an exceedingly lively time in the Geddes hallon Wednesday night last, 17th inst.

The function was brought to a close with the singing of the Mizpah. white man, on trial in Chicago for an attempted jail break, testified last week that he and his Negro cellmate took turns in sawing the bars of the cell window. played the harp a while, declared the man. while he (meaning the dark American) sawed, then he would play while sawed. In that way the guards couldn hear us sawing.
It is certainly strange what adversity will make men do. Here we have a picture of a white man who would not sit beside a black man in a theater who would have a spasm if he found himself seated next to the dark man in a restaurant who would rather sleep out of doors than occupy a room in the hotel where he knew the descendant of Ham was sleeping taking turns with a black man blowing a single harp: If that isn social equality at its highest or lowest, we would like to know what it was.
But we almost forgot, the two men were in prison, and therein lies the difference. In jail a harp tastes the same no matter whose mouth envelops it that is, if there is some bar sawing to be done. Well, we live and Tearn!
