TRIAL OF
MAXIMILIAN
In view of the present disturbed con
ditions in Mexico the trial of Emperor
Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph, the
Austrian, is of especial interest. It
was only a little more than half a cen
tury ago that Mexico was the scene
of very much the same character of
revolution that exists in that country
today.
Maximilian accepted the throne of
Mexico in an evil hour. It was not his
own wish that he should become the
ruler of a country with which he had
no sympathy whatever, but his am
bitious wife goaded him on, picturing
to him the honors and riches that
would come to them. Instead, what a
sad state. Maximilian lost his life and
Charlotte went mad.
AVlum the French army had virtually
conquered Mexico the people agreed to
adopt a monarchial form of government
under a Catholic prince, who should
take the title of emperor, and Napoleon
offered the Mexican crown to Maxi
milian. His brother, the emperor of
Austria, was strongly opposed to his
accepting the offer, but the influence
of his wife was too strong to over
come the objections. All the difficul
ties and dangers were pointed out to
them, but Charlotte scorned the counsel
of the timid. With eharactertistic
self-confidence, she was certain that
she could direct her husband, placate
bis enemies and establish his rule in
.Mexico.
Maximilian felt reluctant to mount a
throne which sat over the crater of a
volcano. However, the new emperor
and his wife entered the capital on the
12th of June, 1S64. No sooner was he
seated on the throne than the clergy, a
large and official body, maintained that
he should restore to them their im
mense properties which previous gov
ernment had confiscated. He found
it impossible to comply, and the clergy
used their power to weaken the rule
of the sovereign.
finally, when things had become In
a turbulent state. Napoleon sent a spe
cial messenger to Maximilian stating
that he was no longer able to support
him and advised him to return to
Europe. Charlotte begged him not to
sign the abdiction. and she started for
Europe to talk over the matter with
Napoleon. The scene with the em
peror was an exciting one, and her
troubles preyed so upon her mind that
she became insane.
News of the madness of Charlotte
came as a crushing blow to her affec
tionate husband, who, harassed on all
sides, ill anil despondent, decided to
leave the scene of his troubles. When
the French army had withdrawn In
March, 1S6-7, the emneror issued a man
ifesto and rallying some S000 men
around him, placed himself at their
head and prepared to fight the Repub
lican army.
On the night of May 14 he was be
trayed by one of his generals. Miguel
Lopez, who admitted the republicans
into the city of Queretaro. Opportunl
ties were piven him to escape but he
refused, preferring to surrender his
sword with dignity. Two of his gen
erals, M'ramon and Mejia were also
taken prisoners. His majesty was
lodged in the tower cell of the convent
of San Teresito. He had an oppor

refused.
A day later the plot to smuggle Max
imilian away was discovered and its
principal promoter. Phince Salin-Salm
was threatened with being shot. The
trial of the emperor by court-martial
took place on June 13 in the Iturbide
Theater, at Vueretaro, which was dec
orated with flags as if for a festival.
The judges were six young captains,
several of whom could neither read nor
write, pn sided over by Lieutenant Co
lonel Plato Sanchez. Knowing that the
trial would be a mockery of justice the
emperor retused to be present, and
while it was preceding passed the tims
alone in his cell in reading the history
of Charles I or England.
Three of his judges voted for the
banishment of Maximilian, and three
for his execution, the casting vote,
which led to the execution, being given
by the presiding officer, who later on
was shot by his own men. Neither the
emperor nor his friends, with one or
two exceptions, believed that the sen
tence would be carried out.
But the Mexicans of the sixties were
as today, blood-thirsty, and nothing
would satisfy them but the death of
the emperor, who was shot on June 16,
1SC7. What ft sad ending of the hopes
and ambitions of Charlotte who, it was
ordained, should spend the rest of her
life in a madhouse, never realizing

following encouraging extract from

Drops Liquor Advertising Chica
go Record-Herald Closes Its Columns
to the Makers and Sellers of Alco
holic Drinks.
Chicago, April 6. Yesterday morn
ing the people of Chicago who read
the Record-Herald had a very de
cided surprise presented them in a
big triple-column announcement
which appeared on that paper's first
page, telling its readers that, while
it will carry out contracts already
maue, the Kccoril-Herald, which as
ill the world knows, is one of
America's greatest dailies, will never
again enter into contract for ad
vertising alcoholic liquors.
The announcement reads: "The
Record-Herald has decided to elimi
nate liquor advertising from its
columns. t will fulfil its existing
contracts to print this class of ad
vertising and, having done that, it
will accept no more."
The Record-Herald does not deny
the view that pure alcoholic liquors
have their wise and proper use in
individual instances, hut contends
that the responsibility for the ad
vocacy of such use should rest with
the family physician rather than the
family newspaper and declines
henceforth to share this responsi
bility." Another encouraging announcement
read was that the women's vote in
the last Illinois local option election
closed 1000 saloons.
Mrs. La Chance announced that
Mrs. Grady Gammige of Tucson will
visit Phoenix on May 6 and 7 and a
reception will be tendered her at the
W. C. T. U. on Tuesday afternoon.
Further announcement regarding
this and the public meeting which
she will address will be given
through the press.
MORE ROOM FOR CLEANLINESS
To the Editor of The Republican,
Sir: I noticed an article in your
paper yesterday morning commend
ing the city of Phoenix for having
cleaned up and stating that it is
hoped that it will continue to keep
clean. It must be that the writer of
this article did not take the trouble
to walk through some of the alleys
and look into the back yards. If he
bad he certainly would not congratu
late Phoenix on having made a clean
up. Your valuable paper can do a
good deal toward making a cleaner
city of Phoenix, but to make the
statement at present that the town
is clean Is a huge joke. I trust your
paper will keep up a campaign whb-
will result in giving Phoenix a good
clean-up, remove some of the manure
piles of ten years' standing and urge
the (leaning up of vacant lots that
have been used as a ; dump ground
for a number of years. , To find
these conditions it will not be neces
sary to go more than two blocks
away from the post f fire, the center
of Phoenix. Respectfully,

This like all other important ques-

for signed articles, for which there
will be no charge. No anonymous
article will be published.

THE ROAD TO WRECKS
Rufus Steele, in an illuminating ar
ticle in the Saturday Evening Post
under the title, "Keeping John Bar
leycorn Off the Train," tells tin
story of wreck and disaster caused
bv drink. Here is one of his strong
est passages: i
"Right on the heels of the ins-
covery that the running of trains by
steam could be made safe and prac-
tical came the discovery that the
running of trains by alcohol could
not. The secret of an untofd num -
her of railroad disasters never has
been solved, for the reason that the
engine man's stomach was allowed
to go to the cemetery instead of to
the chemist. I'.eiause alcohol be
came a factor in transportation
shortly after steam did. and because
it has remained a factor, the general
public has never learned to -distinguish
clearly between a hazard con
sequent on the natural stimulation of
the engine tnd the hazard conse
quent on the unnatural stimulation
of the engineer."
What are safety devices and block
signals and the thousand and one
appliances designed to make travel
safe when any one or all of them
can be and are repeatedly defeated
anil set at naught by a drunken op-
erator. engineer, fireman or Switch-
man! The death toll has been alarm-
ing but it has not all been caused, by
the greed of railroad directors and
stockholders anxious to sacrifice life
for dividends so long as someone else
furnished the former and they se
cured the latter. Too much of it
has been due to indifference to the
traffic that unfits men for any haz-

J Rule "G" of the book of ru-fi-s
i adopted by the American Railroad
association reads as follows: "The
llse of intoxicants by employes while
on duty is prohibited. Their use, or
the frequenting of places where they
are sold, is sufficient cause for dis
missal.' But do you question the right of
the railroad company to enquire into
the personal habits of its men.' If
you do, forget it. They have an ab
solute right to know the comings
and goings of their employes so far
as it relates to their occupation. That
is a right preservative. Efficiency Is
a requirement of any business, and
efficiency and alcoholic liquors are
enemies. Henry Ford, the great
j manufacturer and philanthropist,
says:
"It is our business to s'-e that they
( the employes) spend their money

men out there in the shop, but to
everyone in this organization all th"
