THE SAGE REMARKS OF REVER-
DY c.. RANSOM AT THE 52D
CONVENTION OF THE
ST. LUKES.
S1'~tSINeNls

Before throng Of several thousand
representatives Of the Negro race in
the City Auditorium, Tuesday night,
August 10, Rev. Reverdy c. Ransom
went straight to his mark in discuss
ing what he termed the "Overshad-
owing Issue in America To-day" the
Negro question. All the way from
the conditions that brought about the
civil war up through the administra-
ton Of President Mckinley to the
preSnt day.
Mr.. Ransom proved as he went
along that the Negro question Is the
overshadowing issue at the bar Of
American public thought. The League
Of Nations was laid before the aud
fence in it's relation to the welfare
Of America and he showed that to
be only secondary to the Overshad-
owing Question. The industrial I'M
rest now taking hold Of the entire
continent--thc labor situation, which
is largely Negro question--was dis
sectcd in all it's qualifications as bear
ing on the future Of America.
In a plea for justice for his people
he said, "Give honor to whom honor
is due. Nobody but little man and
minds to be filled with jealousy.
Give to man what belongs to him
whether you like him or not" With
censure and criticism in his eye for
those who claim an improper position
as leaders" he continued:
"And with all Of the men among
us in this hour who have risen to
that proportion only one man has,
put it over and that is Monroe Trot-
ter. I know that Mr.. Dubois went
over yonder and he did splendid work
and did it well. AS to Major Motion.
