I’LL TILL THE ...
WORLD
By RUFUS F. HIGGS
THE REPUBLICANS aay
they'll make Caban policy a
■sajor election iaeue. And Can*
tre will da everything be can
to kelp nuke it a good one.
Higher Obligation
When done legal obligation end
and higher moral obligation be-
gin? I* there euch a thing an a
higher moral obligation, or doe,
it alwaye coincide with the law?
Theee are among question! that
were rained when volunteer fire-
men in a Midwestern suburb
chose to stand idly by while
flames destroyed a house.
It seems tint the occupants
of the house, a family with flee
children, had not paid the aa-
aaal fee that woald have en-
titled them to fire protection.
Tho issue, ar so it seemed to
the volunteer firemen, wns
simple—since the hard-presaed
father wee net duly accredited
to bouefit by their services,
his house mast burn down. And
burn down It did, while the fire
lnddiee stood thinking their
private thoughts.
Doubtless those thoughts in-
eluded e certain amount of self
justification. Legally, the fire-
men had no right to use com-
munity equipment in an unau-
thorised way. But what of the
hirhey moral obligation men-
tioned above? What of the over-
riding human responsibility not
to refuse help to those who need
It?'
It can be argued that, had the
firemen exceeded their authority
by fighting the fire with aquip-
Ntent provided cooperatively by
makiamta at the toW, the ward
would have gone out that one
and all could evade the fee and
■till be tare of protection in
emergency. Perhaps so, but there
would have been time enough
Inter for the question of assur-
ing compliance with the rules. A
house was burning down, but
those who had power to save it
tamed away. The incident is a
reminder that the law was made
ftir man, not man for the law.
A Task to Finish
Progress ia a relative thing.
We get to thinking the world is
moving fairly swiftly. Then up
bobs something from the past
to ehow ns that some of the
things we regard as new today
are really old stuff.
Oae at Arisona’a find sena-
tors, Heary Fountain Asharst,
rivaled William Jennings Bry-
an aa aa orator. Like Bryan,
he was 'inclined to he carried
away by his own eloquence.
But what he sold oa one oc-
casion sounds impressively ap-
plicable today.
"What shall it profit a nation,"
Asharst aeksd his colleagues, "if
by keeping an unpunctured skin
it rote its heart? What shall it
profit a nation to keep a full poc-
ket and loee its soul? America
must heal sore wounds, crush
bigotry and race hatred, struggle
for liberty, endow the youth of
tho land with standards of cour-
ageous patriotism and constantly
put forth her long-enduring
strength for the vindication of/
American rights and the preser-
vation of human justice on these
shores.”
It has been 47 years since
Ashurst made that speech. We
■till have not finished the task
he outlined. Beyond any doubt
we have entirely too much greed
in our great country. In the
end that not only will cause man
to lose his soul but it also will
destroy America.
