In the Minnesota republican prima-
ries, held last week, Governor Eber-
hart was defeated for denomination by
quite pronounced majority. In an
interview the governor attributes his
defeat to "high taxes" declaring that
any one now in official life must stand
the burden of extravaganza that pre-
walls. What has happened in Minneso-
ia is very liable to be duplicated in
Wisconsin this year. People are sore
ly burdened by high taxes and extra

Pezet Now an Actor

Now it is Don Alfonso washington
Pezet, playwright, diplomatist, author,
manager, and actor, a list OF titles
longer even than George NJ. Cohan can
boast of. The last title came to young
Mr.. Pezet, attache Of the Peruvian le-
CATION. last Wednesday afternoon when
he stepped into the breach. and by his
quick action saved the performance of
Marrying Money" at the Trent Thea
ter, Trenton, n. J.
Mr.. Pezet is the author of the play
which is being produced in the New
Jersey theater bv Gilbert Miller's tour
ing company. On Wednesday, about
noon. the announcement was received
by Manager w. A. Page that Ernest
Cossart. who is cast for the French
count in the play, had suddenly been
taken sick with ptOmaine poisoning,
and that he would be unable to
play his part that afternoon, and pos
sibiy not that evening. Manager Page
was confronted with the necessity of
dismissing the audience and returning
them their money when Mr.. Pezet vol
unteered to save the day. He went on
a realistic performance of the role. He
never missed line, and quite often
he was applauded so cordially that he
was obliged to stop and acknowledge
the tribute OF those in the audience.
Young Mr.. PeZet is visiting friends
in Trenton, having mOtored over from
Washington to witness the production
of his play, which had its premiere
some three weeks ago.

COSMOS.

There is no city as attractive as
Washington to Nellie May Brewster,
the vivaClOus little star Of the tabloid
musical comedy featured this week at
the Cosmos. She had serious intentions
at one time of making Washington her
permanent home. but the voters of
Iowa. her native State, ruled otherwise
II was during the campaign period Of
the Congressional election in Iowa in
1901. when her father, Stanford A.
Brewster. was the Democratic candi-
date FOR Congress from the Sixth Iowa
district. As a campaigner for Dad,
she struck new note in vOte-getting.
In fact. it vas a pair OF notes she
struck, and when she reaches the upper
measure in some of her songs in Cali
fornia" at the Cosmos Theater this
week she is reminded of the days in the
corn belt of old Iowa.
Her presence in Washington this
week and the defeat of her cherished
wish by the adverse voting of citizens
of the Sixth Iowa district moved her to
a reminiscent mood. She set up on one
side her "four-a day life of the pres
ent time against the possible life of
social activities in the Congressional set
of Washington.
While Mr. Brewster was editor of a
small daily paper in Ottumwa, Iowa,
Nellie May Brewster was the towns
most talented singer, and prominent in
all social activities. II also was at this
time that the Congressional bee in
Father Brewsters bonnet began to
buzz lie procured the Democratic
nomination for Congress without oppo-
sitiun, but the election was another
thing entirely. He called into service
all his friends and relatives. Like a
good soldier. Miss Nellie was one of
the nTst to respond.
During the carly days of the cam
paiGn, she divided her time in getting
little items for fathers naper and In
being generous with her talents in
church entertainments When the cam
paign became hottest, however, she
threw aside everything and played
new tack in the political game. Social
engagements she filled with an abandon,
but every drawing room she entered
was quickly converted into a political
arena. with Miss Brewster as the cham
pion of the Democratic nominee. She
cared not for those of her own sex, but
devoted assiduOusly her time to the
masculine gender, and even the most |
rabid prOtectionist responded TO her |
JeffersOniaT arguments and promised |
their votes for Dad"
Now she is on the stage. AS Cali |

June's Philosophy Is
Primitive But Convincing.
POLLS

II is probable that no other city in
the United States takes keener inter
es: in the intimate life of European cap
Itals than Washington, the capital of
the United States. Playgoers in this
city are accustomed to the brilliant cos
tunes and flashing insignia worn by
diplomats accredited to the American
capital by the governments Of Europe
and Asia. South America and Africa,
q ina and japan The everyday life
OF court circles Is well understood here,
and the customs of official sets in con-
ttnental capitals are studied with close
attention BY Washingtonians.
For this reason the revival of THE
World and His Wife next week by the
Poll Players is peculiarly interesting.
The play tells what may be described
as the back-stairs history of the court
Of Madrid. One of its chief episodes
centers around two ducls fought IN de-
fcpse of a voman's honor. and accord
inc- TO the punCtilious etiquette OF Spain.
Another incident. referring to changes
in the diplomatic representation OF
Cnain at the CAPITALS of other countries
refers to the graft scandal which stirred
SDain during End after the Spanish
American war. and which, as a matter
of history. has been recognized by all
modern governments as an important
factor in the easy defeat of the Spanish
armies and navies by the fighting forces
of the United states.
RECOGNIZING the Importance Of giving
an absolutely correct reproduction of
the scenes in the Spanish capital that
Hp1,re in the story. the Poll manage
ment has obtained the original stage
settings USED BY William Faversham In
the initial presentation Of the play in
tho United States and which portray
with absolute fidelity familiar scenes in
Madrid. or that part Of it best known
IN members Of Official and dispomatic
society. Arrangements also have been
made to obtain all the costly costumes
and decorations that must be worn by
tbe nIayers who impersonate the chief
Crarscters in the story. These cos
tunes, with their orders and dccora-
lions will be exactly similar TO the at
tire fiat is today dc riGueur in the
ccurt circles of Spain.
