Requiesrat in Pace
On Monday morning there died in London a man whose
achievements in carving the foundation of British Columbia’s
greatness had made his name a household word amongst the
people of the west,
Stricken in the prime of his manhood with Bright's disease,
Sir Richard McBride, easily the most popular figure in British
Columbia, has:passed on to his Maker, and a great statesman,

Macdonald, has been lost not only to British Columbia, but to
the British Empire.

Rapidly coming to the fore, after becoming Premier of this
leader. He held his office with such distinction that his
government was sustained for twelve years and swept the polls
decisively in 1909 and 1912, Ill-health dogged him, however,
and relinquishing his duties in 1915,he went to London as High
Commissioner for British Columbia, his marked Imperialistic
tendencies promising much’ for his success in that position.
Illness, however, interfered with his endeavors,and Sir Richard
wag obliged to resign early in the present year. He .was

. reported recently to be well enough to make the journey to his
native B.C, and the news of his sudden death came as a shock,
His death is a blow to all who were watching his progress, and

are few indeed in this province who did not know him. .,

Sie Richard combined a magnetic personality with the -

: essence of irue gentility and great wisdom. } His personal

charm towards all who came in contact with him Vas the sectet
‘og his remarkable rise,

Sir Richard brought British Columbia forth té the light of

prosperity. He did wonders for the development of the province «

.. and only the advent of the European conflict Stopped the
carrying out of his ambitious program.

‘Dick’? MeBride is dead; but while the history of British

Columbia remaing, bis spirit will p always pervade it,
