is CASTE BREAKING lIp7

Sir George Macalpine says that caste
IN India is breaking up and that Chris.
tlanlty is doing the work. He gives
caste ten years to die and says that
when it is dead there will be a great
influx from India into the Christian
church.
The Hindu who gives up his religion
and even his caste to get into the
Christian church is a. fool-he's jump.
ing out OF the frying pan into the fire
The Christian church is really the
greatest promoter of caste in the world
and if great numbers of Hindus break
into the Christian church they will
promptly be organized into segregated
churches in violation Of the alleged
basic principle of Christianity.

The ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end OF 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was GOV
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is a British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con-
ditions in the United. States and the
West Indies," he said, "has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor

THE DEATH OF A MAN.

THE DEATH OF A MAN.
There recently died in Chicago, an
Afro-American who was every inch a
man.
In these latter days when the Windy
City has been overrun by jimcrowists,
self-seekers at the expense of the race,
self-segregationists, separate Christian
association builders and others STEPPED
in servility, character like John G..
Jones stands out in all it's greatness
and brilliancy.
In the olden days he fought every
exhibition of hostility to his people, to
a finish. So great was his indignation
vigorous was his fight against every
form of jimcrowism that he earned for
himself the sobriquet of Indignation
JONES'"
While in a lowly calling he earned
and saved enough money to pay his
tuition in a law school and after sew
eral years was admitted to the bar
and built up a paying practice. He
was prominent in Masonic circles and
was received with great honors by
members of the craft when he visited
Europe some years ago.
Although somewhat dark in COM
plexion he knew that he was not a
Negro and resented being addressed
as one and insisted on being called an
American. He acted as an American
citizen, demanded all the rights of
American citizenship and he seldom
failed to get his rights.
Jones was absolutely unafraid.
Many years ago when he was a men,
Der of the Illinois legislature, he re-
fused to vote for the late S. M. Cul-
lom for United States Senator, because
he felt that Cullom had not been
square in his dealings with his Afro
American constituents. Every posi-
BILE influence was brought to bear on
Jones by the then powerful Republi-
can machine to induce him to give
his vote to Cullom. He was cajoled
and threatened but he stood like ada
mant and even after Cullom had been
elected and a motion was made to
make the election unanimous, Jones
refused to change and registered his
vote against the man he believed to

ABILITY CAUSES RACE Hatred
A novel explanation of the Russian
dislike for the Jew has been given by
Count Alexander Scherbatskoy, coun-
cillor of the Russian embassy in Wash
ington.
The count said that Russians object
ed to Jews because they were more
capable than the Russians and not be-
cause they were of different race and
faith.
There. is not much difference be-
tween the Jewish question in Russia
and the Japanese question in Califor~
nia," he declared. 1.-THE Californians
know the Japs are more clever than
they are. The Russians know that
they can not compete with the Jews.
Their fear of the Jews is based on eco

What Segregation Means
Rev Quincy Ewing Southern Caucasian and Reared in
Mississippi, Shows the Policy of the South is to Keen
the AfroA American in Inferior Status

Why is it that in everv Southern
city no Negro is allowed to witness a
dramatic performance, or a baseball
game, from first-class seat? Tn
every large city, there are hundreds of
Negroes. who would gladly paw for
first-class seats at the theatre and the
baseball game, were they permitted to.
1t can hardly be that permission is
withheld because theatres and base
ball games are so well attended bv
half the population that first-class
seats could not be furnished for the
other half. AS matter of fact, thea
tre-auditoriums and baseball grand.
stands are seldom crowded.; the rule
is, not all first-class seats occupied,
but many vacant Surely simple as
moving from seat to. seat makeshift
screen in street-car, would it be to
set apart certain number of seats
in the dress-circle of every theatre.
and in the grandstand of every base
ball park, for Negro patrons The rea-
son why this is not done, is perfectly
obvious; it would be intolerable to the
average Southern man or woman to
sit through the hours of a theatrical
performance or baseball game on
terms of equal accommodation with
Negroes, even with a screen between.
negroes would look out of place, out
OF status, in the dress circle or the
grandstand; their place, signifying
their status, is the peanut gallery, or
the bleachers.
