it strange that the people of America "should "go wild with enthusiasm over a remnant of so- called royalty," and adds :—"Whatever may be the personal character of Princess Eulalia, her conduct does not furnish a good example for American womanhood. A patron of horse- racing, gambling, beer-drinking, and cigarette- smoking is not an ideal lady for this country. Her royalty has been badly tainted on account of her mother, who was banished from Spain because of her shocking immoralites.
Her brother, it is
understood, died from his debaucheries. And now our statesmen and the citizens of this country have been making a goddess of this woman. Besides this, the public fands were taken to pay her extravagant bills while in the United States. The general Govern- ment had no more right to take the people's money to pay her expenses, than they had a right to steal from the poor."
