Shortly after the Democratic Na

at the newspaper men's eottage
at Sea Girt, to which I invited the
Democratic candidate and the news
paper men, in order that they might
r be given a chance to meet Mm in
the most intimate way to 'obtain
from him what he was pleased to
call the "inside" of hia mind. Upon
tha conclusion of the dinner the
Democratic candidate opened his
heart in a little tela of the' must in
timate and interesting c Imracter. It
Bot only eontained hia views of the
Presidency, but also a frank discus
ioa of the great problems that
would confront the next Administra
tion. I this little talk he discussed
Theodore R(.oseelt in an intimate
way. In referring to Mr. Roosevelt,
he said that he hud done a great
service in rousing the country from
Ha lethargy, nd in that work ho
bad rendered admirable and lasting
i service; hut beyond that he had
failed, for he had not during his
Administration, attacked two of the
major problems, which he, Wilson,
considered to be tha heart and
centra of the whole movement for
lasting and permanent reform in
America. Discussing Mr. Roosevelt
be aatd:

By EDWARD E. BRITTON. t
(By Special Leased Wire.)
Washington, Not. 7. That Presi
dent Harding would be praised by
negroes and that tha negro leaden
would exploit ta tha nttermost kit
advocacy of tha negro in hia speech
at Birmingham was only to be ex
pected. It comes a a tu rally just
as did the plaudits ef the negroes
in tho audience at Birmingham
which tweard him make the speech.
Taking that speech aa tha text
for unstinted praise of President
Harding, Joseph Weldon Johnson,
president of tha National Associa
tion for tha Advancement of Col
ored People, holds that it is the
precursor to tha breaking down ef
social equality lines, if tha program
as laid down by President Harding
is carried out to its logical eon
elusion.
Joseph weldon Johnson Is per
haps the m oat - effective negro ia
the United Mates, and the organize
tion of which he is the president
is the most effective of negro or
ganizations. It is tba organisation
which backs the appointment of
negroes in government service where
those negroes would have direct
control of white employees, and it
is the organization which is lustily
calling for tha confirmation of
Hoary Lincoln Johnson, the Geor
gian negro, as Keeorder of Deeds
of the District of Columbia, a po
sition which would make tha negro
chief over soma SO to 90 white worn
en.' Joseph Weldon Johnson and tha
association of which ha ia tha head
advocate social equality. That he
looks to this as tha ultimate goal of
the negro in his relationship with
tha Caucasian is dearly shown ia
an interview which be gave to a
New York representative of tba
Christian Science Monitor, of Boa
ton. Consider This Cras af Problem.
sIf President Harding means what
ha sacs about economic, political
and cultural equality and' ran pat H
into effect, the other questions in
volving the negroes of the United
States can take ear of them
selves," Johnson is quoted by the
Christian Science Monitor as say
ing. But that he tees tha lion ia
the path in tha form' of tha white
man who will not be blinded by
sophistry and enter upon a program
that ultimately means social equality
is told aa ha further remsats:
"If the results outline in hia
speech at Birmingham are achieved
it will be a miracle, in my opinion,"
And then Johnson in hia own words
aives the evidence that despite Pres
ident Harding having said ha did
not mean soeial equality during the
course Of his Birmingham speech
thst this is what the negro seeks,
and that the negro believes It must
come if the Harding program is
carried to a conclusion. Here is
what he nn aa to this:
Evidently he (President Harding)
has devoted much thought to the
question and he lays much stress
on Mr. Iwgard's 'agreed divergence
in tha physical and material, but
there is inconsistency between that
statement and his plea against so
lidarity. How is 'complete uniformity
of ideals, absolute equality in the
rathe of knowledge and culture,
eoual opportunities for those who
strive, eanal admiratioa for thoee
who achieve' to be brought about
without equality of association t Is
it possible with the American people
to look on the negro as treading
in matters soeial anl racial a eep
srate path' and yet afford him equal
itv of oDDOrtunityf If a man is ha
manly equal, and there is to be an
avoidance of class organization, all
social divergence will be neutralized
and only in that way will a oemoe
raev endure.
Hardiness Soeeah MtscMevoos.
TlitfM.lv the Birmingham speech o
President Harding has been termed
mischievous. With it he has raised
in the breasts of the negroes hopes of
social equality which he will not be
permitted to react, for toe wnite
man will atand ok- guard at the
threshhold of his soeial life. It is
not possible ta give tha negro politi
cal equality without giving the negro
political office, and at least m In
South this is not going to happen
It is, of eourse, true that Republican
administrations may appoint negroes
to office for ss Johnson says:
"They have the tradition of asso
ciation with the party," but where
'hesc appointments are in the South
they will breed raee trouble. And
as for elective or appointive offices

thrown on the screen for tha first

Assembled there were a hundred
and fifty or more Btate officials and
others interested in the picturiza
tion of the outstanding episodes in
the State's history. Among them
was Governor Morrison who express
ed high appreciation of the achieve
ment. Th. five reels of films, splendid

closed with the tragedy of "The Lost

Dr. E. C. Brooks, Superintendent
of Publto Instruction, was master
of ceremonies last night. Introdue
ing the film, he eiplaiued a bit of
the rrgin of the idea, traced lt
growth, and welcomed criticisms.
The picture is the result of sii
weeks of activity on Roanoke Island
and several months of careful plan

and filmed last summer on Koanoke
