CHIEF JUSTICE LORE
TALKS ON CORRUPTION

RehOboth. Aug. 16.-Addressing the
Assembly of Epworth Leagues here
yesterday on Christian Citizenship;
Its Duties and Obligations" Chief JUS
tice Charles B. Lore said:
To-day our own little State is held
in the grip of the politicians, and is
without representation in the United
states Senate. | will not unveil Della
wares political history. Some of you
may know what it is. This, however.
will say-that the average Of political
morality of the people of Delaware to-
day is as high, if not higher, than ever
bafore in her history. The senatorial
vacancy results from the indignant
protest of her people against corrupt
machine politics and selfish personal
ambition. Politicians were never so
wei lorganized, the machine was never
so well managed for personal ends as
now, but corruption is in it's death
struggle in this State. The people will
win. The little gods that strut upon
the stage of politics today tomorrow
Will be forgotten.
In the preparation for citizenship,
I beg that you will not lay too much
stress upon the accumulation OF
wealth. The desire to get rich quickly
regardless of the means is the bane and
curse of the day. Riches are a curse to
the possessor. unless he becomes Gods
steward andthe almoner of his bounty
know nothing so demoralizing in our
civic life as the loOseness and
.licentiousness of our so-called million
aire Americanism. which has put a
price upon all virtue and believes and
practices that every man has his price
in gold. that there is no such thing as
integrity and honor"
