Mrs. Ambassador Reid recently
eclipsed the wealth and fashion OF
Great Britain with the magnifcence
OF a gown which she wore at the Der
by party, given by the Duchess OF De-
vonshire. 1t is said that the dress
was made of mother of pearl and crys-
tai beads, so closely worked together
as TO actually form the material OF the
dress. Mrs. Reid is a daughter of Os-
den Mills. and possesses s30,000.000,
and can afford to have expensive
dresses. Whitelaw Reid, her husband,
was at one time the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Tribune,
and lived on his salary. Just after
the war he migrated into Alabama and
tried making a cotton crop and failed.
After the death of Horace Greeley he
became editor of the Tribune, got the
nomination for vice president, was
sent as ambassador to the court of
st. James, and married rich mans
daughter. Incidentally it may be said
that he married before these political
honors were showered upon him.

FLETcHER's GOOD WORK

In securing pardons for W. S. Har-
Ian and associates, unjustly confined
in the federal prison at Atlanta on the
charge of peonage, Senator Fletcher
has recorded another achievement
which stamps him as man OF infu-
ence at the national capital, and which
strengthens him with the people OF
Florida. President Taft is also TO be
commended for showing executive
clemency, for his act indicates that he
understands and thoroughly sympa-
thizes with labor conditions on the
southern plantations, lumber camps
and the naval stores business.
Mr.. Harlan and other victims OF
the national law were acting for their
own protection against INSCRIPTIONS
and shlftlesg employees, and this caus-
ed their arrest and prosecution. 1t is
often stated that the Law is for the
benefit Of crooks, and the declaration
certainly seems TO apply in this case,
where good men and citizens have
been forced to serve prison terms be-
cause Of their effort TO protect them
selves from worthless men.
But for Senator Fletcher's interven-
ton. the men would undoubtedly have
been forced TO serve full terms. and
they owe him debt of gratitude. as
do all citizens who appreciate the con-
ditions under which they have labor

SODA LAKE

There IS an old parody OF well
known hymn line which speaks of At
RIGS soda fountains" that roll down
their golden sands" The following
account OF a lake of solid soda gives
an amusing application to the phrase:
Wonderful as have been the reporss
OF the vast soda deposit at Lake Ma
gadi in East Africa, the tendency hith-
erto has been to deem the stories fan
tastic. Now. however, the mystery is
cleared up by the report of an expedi-
ton which penetrated quite TO the
interior OF Britain's remote posses
siOn-as far, indeed. as Is miles from
the frontier Of German East Africa

the Clerical News, are more surpris-
