« THE DfllüY TIDINGS EDITORIALI and FEATURE C. J. READ, ASH LA N D D A IL Y T ID IN G S The Frail Old Woman ; When a frail old woman of 86 succumbed to ; pneumonia in the Chateau Bopchoute in Belgium the other day the final curtain fell on one of the ■ great royal tragedies of Europe. Carlotta, the frail - old woman of 86, had been in turn a happy princess, the idolised wife of a handsome, dashing, rather . brilliant grand duke of the house of Ilapsburg and ; empress of Mexico. A few years later she had lost ; in^* quick succession her empire, her husband and ; her reason. For upward of 60 years before her death she had lived in the world- but not of it. While other empires rose and crashed as hers had done, while other thrones were being net up and torn • down, she passed her days oblivious of all that was happening in the old chateau which was in reality a private madhouse. Maximillian is quoted as having once said that ; she was the better man of the two. Perhaps it was her advioe that induced him to occupy the rather unstaple throne which Napoleon III had erected in ; Mexico while the United States was too lmsy with ; its own civil war to apply the Monroe doctrine. ; certainly it was her urging that caused him to cling ;to the throne after Napoleon III had withdrawn his support and his better judgment warned him to abdicate. It was while she was in Europe vainly appealing for aid that her world came to an end. Maximillian’■ empire fell and he was stood up W ore a Mexican firing squad. With that blow her own reason fled. Perhaps the tragedy which marked her for its victim was largely of her own making. Possibly she might have lived to die a gentle old grandmother had her youth been less ambitious, less intense. It seems a sort of consistency of fate that her death should have occurred at a time when Mexico again looms rather prominently ou the’ international hori- John 1).

ASHLAND PUBLISHED BY THE ASHLAND PRINTING CO NEWS EDITOR TURNING BACK THE PAGES The Browning Case The notorious,—or it might be more appro priate to say salacious,—Browning fiasco has become history for the time being at least “ Peaches” will rest after the “ terrible ordeal” she forced herself to go through on the witness stand in an effort to separate her “ Cinderella man” from a part of his fortune. “ Daddy” finds pressing business awaiting him and must get back to work confident that “ a woman has ninety-nine chances out a hundred” to win. , ' . Trials of the Browning type are a travesty on justice, a mockery of our courts. To all purposes and intents the Browning affair was merely a let of monkey business between an “ old fool” with a lot of money and young ideas, and a misguided girl of sixteen, with a grasping, daughter-sacrificing mother who offered her child’s right to happiness on the altar of greed. The whole thing is silly, is rot, is ridiculous. <In the first place, the marriage was a farce on its face. There oould be^tio attraction in aa old man for a 16-year-old girt She must, like other girls her age, want romance and companionship. There was none of either in “ Daddy” Browning. He, ac cording to,his own testimony, wanted a home wife. He never expected to find that kind of a Wife in a 16-year-old girl. He wanted a companion, yet he must.have known that “ Peaches” could never be what he anticipated. “ Peaches’ ” mother made a monkey out of her self when she let her baby daughter marry an old man like Biowning. The wealthy old man made a monkey of himself when,he allowed himself to be- • come a party to -suolf an unequal marriage. It all > seems a lot of monkey businem. Perhaps some bio logist will look over the evidence in the trial and / < give ns sume idea when evolution is going to begin. W. H.
