God, give us men!  A time like this demands strong minds great hearts, true faith and ready hands;

Men whom the lust of office does not kill;

Men w hom the spoils of ofice cannot buy;

Men who possess opinions and a will;

Men who have honor; men who will not lie;

Men who can stand before a demagogue and damn his treacherous flatteries without winking;

Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog

In public duty and in private thinking.

J. G. Holland
