"God give us men of such a type as the time demands. Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and willing hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office 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; For while the rabble with their thumb worn creeds, Their profession and their little deeds Mingle in selfish strife; lo; Freedom weeps; Wrong rules the land, and waiting justice sleeps." From Zarapath News, published by the Scottish Rite, Davenport, Iowa
