New York, Nov. 26-Newspapers
whose correspondents ought to know,

Edward VII.
These same newspapers are point
ing out the circumstance that whereas
HAY was once as an editorial writer
on the Tribune subordinate to Reid
Reid will now be subordinate to Hay.
For no one imagines that either Mr..
Roosevelt or Mr.. Hay will change his
mind. Hay will surely continue as
Secretary of State.
Both Hay and Reid are Ohioans by
birth, but the metropolis has a big
claim on each, though the claim oil
Reid is much the stronger. Mr.. Hays
residence in New York was not OF
long duration, while Mr.. Reid has
lived here most of the time since the
civil War, his legal residence here
having been continuous ever since he
nrst located in the town.
Most folk who have known Mr.
Keid's career fairly well have the no.

Weekly first caricatured him and to
the day Of his death he kept a copy
of 1t, framed, in a conspicuous place
in his home. Mrs. Reed never liked
the caricatures of her husband and
often urged him to put this particular
one out of sight, but he always gloried
in 1t as proof that he really was a
factor in the affairs of the day. Mr..
Reid has always regarded writings
hostile to him personally in the same
light, which has been good thing for
his peace of mind, since few men have
had to face more or bitterer personal
attacks than he.
No secret has ever been made of
Mr.. Reid's intense desire to represent
the United States in England. 1t
was to England that he wanted to go
some years ago, when he was sent to
France.
Nor is there any secret in the fact
that Joseph Choate, the ambassador
who is to retire, will regret his retire.
ment. He has enjoyed himself while
there to the top bent of man with
far more than the average ability to
have a good time. Also, he shas made
himself more popular than any Amer
lean representative there since the la
mented James Russell Lowell. Much
of Mr.. Choate's popularity abroad has
been due to his speech-making and
story telling powers. Unlike many
who excel in forensic efforts he is a
first after-dinner speaker of the typ
ical American sort, and he cracks a
joke with the same facility that he
denounces his opponents client before
a judge and jury.
Besides, though his wit and humor
are of the distinctively American sort,
which Englishmen sometimes either
fail to comprehend altogether, or else
do not see till some time next week,
he always has managed TO put his
sharp sayings in such guise that the
English never have failed to catch
on" promptly.
AS a diplomatist Mr.. Choate has
been a success, though in one Of his
speeches, delivered at the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner held by the Americans in
London in 1S99 he talked a little too
freely about the possibility of an An
glo-American alliance to please Secre-
tary Hay altogether. Mr.. Choate was
made a doctor Of laws by Cambridge
University the next year, and has had
many other honors showered upon
him by the British. Though some OF
these were due, no doubt, simply be-
cause he represents the republic. yet
he has received many more evidences
OF CONSIDERATION III England Lndn
would have been his were he not per-
sonally very popular.
Whether he will re-engage in the
practice Of law after his return is
problematical II he does a big prac-
tice will spring into being for him
with mushroom growth, Of course. He
was counted the leader Of the New
York bar" when he went abroad, and
there will be no lack of eager clients
for him II he wants them.
When Mr.. Choate was at the flood
