A high standard of citizenship was set by the deceased at all times, quietly and without ostentation, and his leadership on many questions and issues throughout the years was marked by moderation, discernment and good judgment. It was a tribute of these qualities that he was asked on literally hundreds of occasions to advise friends and others on matters of moment, to many books on these subjects are to be found in his extensive library, as well as many volumes on political economy and related subjects.
