"Solid South" Holds Back
 Political Freedom From
 South, Says. Dr. Jones
(Continued from Page. Five)

south also were exerting a secondary in- fluence for sect:onaHsm. The political story of the years from 1865 to 1890 IS a story ot ignorance that, like dark cloud. threatened ouc civilization Men were brought closer together for fight that was more frightful than the bloody war that had passed. It was war for race supremacy. That war was won, is won, and that issue settled beyond the hope Of resurrection The issue is past and ought to be buried forever.
 But out of that fight came the solid south Political solidarity was the price for victory, and with the creation of the solid south the south lost it's democracy. We can't have freedom with that sys- tenn. Cur votes in the next presidential election are already counted at New York. The white voter in the souh has no more power to influence national elec- ton than any negro who is not voter
 We must have the clash of political thought, the whetting of political wits and men must think for themselves, be- fore we can have freedom. We can't think without the negro, on any subject, for there is ever present the politician with his appeal to the fear of the negro Is it wholesome? Is it possible for the people of the south to think. to cast their ballot as q true expression of political thought?
 '.Where there is mass voting, the mass robs itself of it's freedom. We can't vote as a group or section, as class. as a race, as of any religion, and vote as Americans, and any man who votes save as an American is an enemy to democracy and an enemy to his government.

 Herbert M. Johnson, business comp troller for the company, announced that the organization will fulfil it's en- gagement in other cities as planned by Campanini.
 Max Pam, chairman of the executive committee of the association, said that no successor to Campanini would be appointed this season for the reason that the organization was so complete that a new director would not be nee essary at present.

HOW ID RELIEVE
 4 bAbY'S GOLD
Newly Prepared Mild Relief to Take Place of Strong, Irrita- ting Oils and Grease and
 Sterilizing Vapors.

Mothers and nurses are cautioned agains t the use of strong and irritating oils and greases in the treatment of the coughs, colds and croup of babies and children. Stirling vapors are also to be avoided, of course, as they irritate the delicate mem branes of the nose and throat and may do serious harm.
 Mothers can tell whether the medicine is too strong by rubbing some of it up their own nostrils. If it burns, reje<t it; or, if baby ressts the treatment you may be sure that the medicine is too strnog for infants, or contains some positively irritating drug.
 The best plan is to use very mild salve. containing the correct proportions of the soothing, cleansing and antiseptic oils of eucalyptus, wintergreen, menthol and pinus sylvestris with camphor and refined petro- latum. All the drug stores sell this mild salve under the name of Eucapine Salve. It is especially prepared for the mothers use with her children and sells for fifty cents for large family jar.
 The little tots enjoy Eucapine Salve and soon learn to call for it by name and doctor themselves when they feel irritation of the and throat. They consider it fun and it keeps their noses and throats comfortable. clean, sanitary and free from secretions and germs. Your regular drug store will supply you with Eucapine Salve for half dollar.

ALL ENGLAND STIRRED

London, December 19-No event in Ireland since the killing of Lord Fred erlck Cavendish. chief secretary for Ireland. and Thomas H. Burke, his un- der secretary, in 1882, has so stirred England as the attempt made to as- sassinate Field Marshal Viscount French, the lord lieutenant, today, This was the first attempt on the life of viceroy since 1886, the year when Gladstone introduced the home rule for Ireland bill.
 Such a continuation of the Irish un- rest was not unexpected. Fourteen policemen and several soldiers have been killed in the last few months and no one has been arrested or punished rfor these acts, although it is declared there were many eye-witnesses to them
 Niscount French. owing to the un- certainty of conditions always has taken precautions against attack. He Is one of the few viceroys of recent years who is credited with personally ruling instead of depending on off cials for policies He always unhesi- tatingly has announced that his policy was first torestore and maintain law and order and then to inaugurate home rule.

RAPID FIRING

The entire affair lasted about half minute, but during this time the firing from both sides was rapid
 Viscount French proceeded immediately to the Vice Regal lodge, where he had luncheon, as usual
 The police went out and searched the roads and feds in the neighborhood of the shooting, but late tonight they had not reported making any arrests They found some undischarged hand grenades in the Vicinity Niscount French received numerous telegrams during the day con graduating hirl on his escape Among the first of these were messages from King George and Premier Lloyd George
 That the attack on Viscount French had been carefully and coolly planned is indicated by the fact that his assailants played handball at a public. house near the scene. of the shooting while awaiting the viceroys arrival. Further evidence of this is conveyed by the fact that the as sassins flung a cart across the road at the scene of the ambuscade, which stopped the vice regal procession of four cars.
 After the alta ok a case of Mills bombs. similar to those used in the war, was found m the road
