They take charge under! most auspicious conditions and there is no good reason why they! should not give the people of the province good government. We are j all looking ford ward t othe increased prosperity promised. We urge all British Columbia people to get behind the new Government and give them that support wMoh is desirable under such conditions. THE LATEST HANK MERGER Since the minister of finance is anxious to know what is the opinion of the people on the latest proposal to merge the Standard Bank with the Bank of Commerce, we unhesitatingly suggest that popular opinion is strongly against .any such move. If either of these banks were weak and needed bolstering up by means of a merger, there would be no objection, as it is not a good tbjng for any bank in Canada to fall It ia slated, however, that they are both financially sound and prosperous, so why the merger? We think the minister of finance would have been better advised to have made an investigation before allowing the negotiations to proceed. People fear bank mergers today, for the tendency ia for all banking business to be so centred that competition may oease. That would be a bad thing for the country. More banks instead of fewer is what people are asking for. VISCOUNT HALDANE "Germany is my spiritual home." The avowal was made by the late Lord Haldane, ex-Mjniter of War and ex-Lord Chancellor, some years before the Great War, in the course of a discussion confined merely to matters philosophic. Quite naturally, though, the phrase was remembered very quickly when the German legions began to .march. Lord Haldane was then occupying the WeeUaek. On this Utterance there was based an attack upon bhn by a section of the English Press, perhaps as bitter and relentless as any which has assailed any public character in Great Britain. Probably Lord Haldane's cast of mind would have enabled him to endure with equanimity any assault of this sort. There were many, not of Lord Haldane's way of political thought or possessing any great appreciation of his school of philosophy, who condemned the onslaught as merely the maddened scream of mob propaganda. Nevertheless public -opinion on the whole agreed that Lord Haldane's German affinities rendered it inexpedient that he should remain prominently identified with the prosecution ef the War. The King bestowed upon him the Order of Merit, and Lord Haldane limited his further services to the State henceforth to sitting as a member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council- Thus ended the active political career of oad of the most prominent champion? of liberalism in a period of over thirty years, except that for a brief period he was a -member of Ramsay Macdonald's Government. The Haldane .family and its connections hare in the last few generations given to Scotland in particular and to Britain at large several men of note, who divided themselves equally between the Law and the Prophets. Robert Burdon Haldaae, the subject of this memoir, received his early education at Edinburgh, and later studied philosophy at GorUngen. It was here that he first acquired his eagerness in pursuing German thought, both ancient and modern; perhaps no student in his day had a wider acquaintance with the metaphysics ef Hegel and the writings of Schopenhauer. Possessed of ample private means Haldane also devoted himself assiduously To the study and practice of the law." His early work lay at the Chancery Bar and in the Privy Council Chamber. There was a goodly array of eminent counsel in Haldane's days, as an advocate, but few could excell him in the ability to marshal facts and to deliver a long argument lucidly. Ills capacity for work was always prodigious, and the manner in which he would address their Lordships, literally for days upon end, without ever the slightest reduction in the speed of his argument, was a really remarkable exhibition in advocacy. LORD HALDANE AND THE WAR be prepared to meet It. "I was a war at once." says Lord Hildas, "that there was new army pm-jbbun.

Lord Haldane haa de clared It to be clear that her military advisers failed to take Into account the tremendous moral forces that might be brought into action against them.
