the most brilliant and musicianly of
all Verdi's concerted pieces. A splen-
did new record of the quartet just is

This was not alone an interesting
showing of Miss Wares sympathies
but of the unanimous support the suf-

Miss Ware is not only an actress OF

canny critic.
Referring to the adverse criticisms
Of "The Revolt" which the Indianap

for its alleged immortality, Miss Ware
said at the luncheon:

"RETURNING" TO AFRICA.

The Richmond, (Va.) Reformer
speaks of the colored people return
ing to Africa" Returning" is not the
proper word; it should be going"
The people who are going to Africa
are possibly descendants of Africans
who were brought here against their
wills a hundred years ago or more.
The Afro-Americans who have start
ed for Africa are poor de1uded crea-
lures who have been imposed upon by
scoundrels of the Chief Sam ilk. They
will sup sorrow by the ~ladle full.
Africa is not the place to go in order
to better ones condition unless the
immigrant is white man.
An Afro-American with a little CAPT
tai who wishes to really improve his
condition should go to Brazil. In that
country he will find no color line and
his advancement will be limited only
by his own capabilities.

is CASTE BREAKING UP?

Sir George Macalpine says that caste
in India is breaking up and that Chris
tianity 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.
