CHARLES BROWN LORE LATE FRESIDENT OF THE SG0ARD OF TRUSTEES OF CELAWAME COLLESE From The Star, Wilmington, Del The late Chief Justice Lore had so long been a familiar figure in the public life of this State that one ean hardly realize that he is gone. In the nature of things his activities had abated somewhat of recent years, but the moral influence he exerted in the community has not abated in any sense. Indeed his death has strengthened that influence by focusing public atten- tion more intently upon the kind of man he was and the sort of life he lead. Evervone has something good to say of the dead, but here is a case where the epitaph and the truth are in harmony. Judge Lore's most striking quality was his democracy. He was a man of the people, by the people, and for the people. But he was no demagogue, seeking popular favor by appealing te popular prejudice. He could and did resist public sentiment when he thought public sentiment was wrong, but fortunately he did not often need to oppose the popular will. He had an abiding faith in the good sense and integrity of the average man, and all the acts of his life, and especially of his public life, were the fruits of that faith. Mr. Lore was honored by the State of Delaware in many ways, but he gave to it in return full measure of honor in faithful and valuable service. The places he occupied materially in life will be filled by others, but the places he occupied in the hearts of the people will remain vacant.
