Ma.s.chs.e,,,' New stat. Treason,
BY George Perry Morris.

hahsachssrtts' New state Treasurer,
Fred J, Burrell. Boston's adver-
tising agent who was elected state
treasurer by a huke, has resigned,
and by the same token practically
withdrawn from the running for
reelection. He did not care for
further publicity. or probing Of his
methods as a distributor OF the
states funds in banks. Gov. Coo
lidse has promptly put in his place
James Jackson. who has ali sorts
Of respeetsbility. social. financial,
and hunta nitsrlan. During the war
and since the armistice he has
served the Red Cross admirably In
\ broad gauge way and has proved
himself a citizen who looks on life
as social service.
Brasil and the DrsgsnxS Heirs.
President PessoS Of Brazil, in ac-
cord with public opinion, has done
wsll to issue decree reyokinE the
banishment OF the Braganza fam
tly from the republic over which
they ruled. II, as is intimated, this
means that in due time the re-
mains OF Emperor Dom Pedro and
bis wife Will be brought from Por-
tugal and placed on Brazilian soil,
then time will have wrought jus
tice. For no one disputes the hne-
ness of the character Of the last
Emperor or his sincere love for the
people. He was a victim Of destiny,
and not the architect Of his own
deposition and exile. For the United
States he had respect and admirs-
tion. which was reciprOcated. as the
character OF his welcome showed
when he came here. We felt to-
ward him then much as We do now
toward the King Of Belgium or the
King Of Italy. and this without any
disloyalty TO our republican prefer
ences. There are emperors and en-
perOTs, and kings and kings; and
also. may it be said candidly, pres
idents and presidents. Personally
! will revere d decent king rather
than an indecent president. Amy
other attitude puts you in the role
rOf making office greater than the
man and place more than character.
"sentimentaI Jimmie"
Inasmuch as Barries latest play.
Marie Rose" is soon to be rendered
in New York with Aaude Adams in
the title role and Barrie himself
coaching II may be interesting to
note that. James HunekeT, who has
been play-tastinE in London. says
that Barrie in this play has sur
passed himself in "fOTmlessness in
conference. improbabiIity." The play
he described as pretty, impossible,
mucilaginouS. and. what is more,
an "amOrphUuS compound OF fan
tssy that puzzles and offends-" Any
thing my sJical or implying the
supernatural would offend Huneker.
NcGISHn the Only Lincoln.
MIR. William Brady writes me that
! was misinformed as to his plans
about sending four companies on
the road with DTinkwaJeT's Lin
coin" The company that has play
ed in New York steadily since the
try-OUt in Washington will tour
with Frank McGlynn in the role that
has given him enduring fame. Mr.
Brady does not say II. but / suspect
that he would send out other com
panies if he could md other Nc
Glynns. Talk about romance. Provi-
dence. foreordiRstion, virtue re-
warded. rapid rise from relative OBJ
security to absolute security-thIs

Art and War.
