I,ET'S TURN BACK

"Bcrckward, turn bqckwcrrd, oh, time, in your llight," ran the decrr old song our mothers used to sing.

We cre not csking so much, on this New Yecr's Dcy.

But looking out upon the turmoil crnd threcrt thct be-Iog our Nationql situction crt this beginning ol q New Yeqr, there IS c wish-c hope-c prcyer-thct we would like to express, crnd that isl-

LET'S TURN BACK.

Bcck to those good, crnd sqle qnd scrne dcys, when the SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, wqs the test ol REAL men qnC women.

BACK to those dcrys when the BEST mcrn got the BEST pcy.

BACK to those times when the mqn who could PBODUCE something, wcs given his proper rqnk over the man vrho could NOT.

BACK to those dcrys when-"He who SERVED best, prospered most."

BACK to those dcrys when men did NOT scry-'T DEMAND"-buI-"I DESERVE."

Bcrck to ihe dcys belore the cmbition to POSSESS hcrd outstripped the willingness to EARN.

BACK to those dcys when EFFICIENCY was the rule by which every mcn wcrs iudged-cnd PAID.

BACK to the dcys when cr mqn's HOME wcs HIS home,. when cr mqn's dollcrr, wcrs HIS dollqr; when q mcm's business, wcrs HIS business; io do with crs he scw Iit under the Constitution qnd the LAW.

BACK to those wondrous dcys when EVERY MAN-outside oI prison-respected this Government, qnd olficicrls scle behind public sentiment-enlorced that respect.

BACK to those dcys when no mqn nor aggregction oI men, representing <rnyone or crnything, DARED to scy to our Goverriment ct Wcshington-"YOU MUST DO OUR WItr, On EtsE-!"

BACK to those dcrys-plecse God-thct every decent citizen oI this lqnd is cnxiously woiting lor, when the rights oI ALL the people will cgcin become the single lcw oI the lcrnd, qnd when men with hearts ol oqk will cgcin hold honored olfice, possessed oI the bowels to scry to those who crpprocrch with DEMANDS"Show us FIRST that whct you desire is lor the honor cnd glory oI ALL the people, or GET OUT AND DON'T COME BACK!"

THAT wqs once the test. fiIAT must become the test cacrin, iI this ncrtion is to stcnd. Clcp the hecvy hand oI the LAW upon the shoulder oI every man who threqtens the public wellqre, regcrrdless oI whether he represenls mqn or devil, cnd the lcw will regain its RESPECT, and the lcrnd its HEBITAGE.

THIS is our New Yeqr's wish. LET'S TITRN BACKI
