LORD HALDANE'S VISIT.
-O-O-

-O-O-
 TT HAS been a long time since an international courtesy has attract
 ed the comment that has been created by the visit of Lord High Chan cellor Haldane, of England. and his speech to the American Bar Associa- tiOn. The manner of his coming with the personal greetings of the head of his country, the beaming good nature and sincerely that marked his asso- citation with his kinsmen. the fine tone of his speech, the good will of it all and the high purpose. are all en- couraging in the superlatiye degree to those that are striving to make bet ter the living conditions of the world. | His message was to those of his race and language, whom he reminded of the responsibilities of the wealth and ] greatness that is their and of the Obli- gatiOn to themselves and the world to make right use of the opportunities with which destiny has endowed them.
 But the great thing about the whole incident was the visit, itself, and the thought that induced it. The New York World, commenting upon this phase of the event, says nothing in Lord Haldane's address, remarkable as it is for breadth, variety, the touch of sentiment and the tone of deyout- ness. is so significant as the fact that is was delivered at all"
 Amplifying this thought the World says:
 Tt is no light thing that the head of the English judicial system should have broken the precedent of cen turies to come by his sovereign's ex- press command and speak to the law yers of the English-speaking nations of the New World upon the Higher Nationality The event, far more than feIicitous phrases, expresses an aspira- tOion that should be frequent in the thought and high in the hopes of earn est citizens.
 Not at all in despair of the final coming of the Parliament of man. Lord Haldane hopes with most of us that Great Britain and Canada and the United States may sooner still de velop and recognize a reliable char acter in the obliagtions they assume toward each other; that they may find in their common speech, common customs and community of law the foundation for international faith of kind that is new in the history of the world and that shall set the world an example. Such unison must have its witnesses in treaties and written agreements, but it's substance must lie deeper down in an intimate social life
 AS presage and promise of enduring friendship. thinking Americans will generally echo the desire, and will steadily direct our thoughts to how We can draw into closest harmony the nations of a race in which all of us have common pride" Let not the United States, at least, be backward in the goodwill and desire of mutual justice which must lie at the basis of all friendly understanding.
