Parable Of The Trees We have a government of the people, by the people, for the people. There is a parable in he Book of Judges which is called the "Parable of the Trees." The trees came together to elect a king. They nominated the fig tree. But the fig tree "chose not to run." He said, "I can't neglect my business of producing figs to hold office." The olive tree also reclined. He said: "My business of producing olive oil is essential busness.

The country would suffer if I left it and went into office." Likewise the vine. He said, "The country has to depend on me for wine which makes glad the heart. Why should neglect producing grapes? One by one the better class of trees refused to run. In default of a good candidate the trees chose a tough, crooked grasping old bramble to be their king, and he waved to and fro over the tree kingdom, This story might have been written in Chicago or Boston or Washington, or almost anywhere in the U.S.A. Brambles dominate many city halls, state legislatures, and even in many instances the national Capitol because better men are reluctant to make the fight for good government.

It involves personal sacrifice. It invites knocks. Political institutions do not run themselves. If they are for the people, they have to be of and by the people. If the brambles run the government, it is because the trees are too lazy or too busy feathering their own nests to "carry their share of the hardships." as a great citizen of the first century put it.

The years are beginning to add up when it takes longer to rest than it did to get tired. Contentment in life not in great wealth, but in simple wants. By Giggey Some time ago wrote a piece about equality. I pointed out that here you have a fine and noble wo.c, which once meant that every man should receive exactly that which he deserves.

Now, in the minds of many people, it has come to mean that every man, regardless 0. his merits, should have he wants. An even more frightening thing seems to be happening to our concept of the word Freedom. I think it started with Franklin D. Roosevelt when he came up with his famous "Four which included "freedom from want" and from fear." But these conditions are security, which is quite a different thing.

The wild animal in a cage in the zoo has security. He is fed regularly and he is protected from his enemies. You might say he is free from want and fear--but he is not free. When Fidel Castro was asked on a television interview what he was doing about free elections, he talked about what he had done to establish workers on their own land and to do. away with illiteracy.

Why the man doesn't even know what the word means! He isn't even talking about security: there is no freedom from want or fear in Cuba. Nor is there freedom of speech, of assembly, of enterprise, of movement. I suppose what the communists offer is freedom from responsibility. If you are successful in doing what you are told, you may be able to live fairly comfortably under such a system; but you are not free. In the South I saw a bunch of colored school children jumping up and down and waving their arms and yelling "We war.t freedom!" Now these kids obviously have all the freedom they can use or know what to do with.

Nobody is interfering with them. They can march, demonstrate, and wave their arms to their hearts' content. They can go to school as far as their abilities will take them, they can work, they can move freely. In short, they have, as freedom is concerned, the same status as you and I and vastly more than ninety-nine per cent of the people of the rest of the world. What they are shouting for is not freedom but acceptance.

Acceptance is a desirable goal in itself, but it cannot be attained by legislative action, by decree of the Supreme Court, or by bullying of state and local authorities. They use the word freedom as the "Freedom Riders" and the "Freedom Marchers" do, because it's a good word It has a long and honorable history; it represents something that generations of magnificent people have fought and died for. It's something that no true American can quarrel with, and for that reason it makes a supcrb rallying cry for any cause or occasion. And Thomas Paine pointed out: "Those who expect to realize the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
