A RANDOM
THOU (i 111...
By J. Troy Hickman
DAM.MiS I l!OM \ll\OKITIKS
Standing high on a pedestal in
New York City llarlmr is the
Statue of Liberty. A lady holds a
light aloft, and an inscription says
in effect, "To all looking for free-
dom and a home, welcome!"
So many have come hero through
the years from all carls of the
enrth, that the United Stales has
been called The Molting Pol. As
the waters from many streams
make tip the ocean, so the people
from afar have merged with each
other lo make a nation, whose tra-
ditions are "Liberty and Justice
for All." II was Franklin I). Roose-
velt who said, "America is greater
than the sum of her parts." That
"something greater" that makes
our nation more than the sum of all
our racial parts is the merger of
the parts into one whole People.
Up l now, we have been Ameri-
cans First. Then we have been
Latins. Negroes, Poles. Germans,
Jews, Orientals — or whatever —
next. We have always Ix'en self-
conscious about our national racial
and ethnic origins—aiKl we should.
Bui this pride has come second to
our common Americanism.
About the middle of the century
before this one, we all bul lost
the oneness ilmt makes us strong.
Americans in some stales to the
south fought: a lout; and bloody
war lo separate themselves from
the Union, for reasons too we'll
known lo need repeating. Bul the
resl of the Union fought back with
the same dedication, to save the
Union. And they won. In one of
the dark hours of that war, a man
who may have been our greatest
American slood in a cemetery for
the military dead al Gettysburg
and said, "Now we are engaged in
a yrcat Civil War lo test whether
(his Nation, or any nation (dedi-
cated lo these high ideals) can long
endure." We did endure and went
on to greater strength.
Now we stand at the testing place
again. This time the danger is two-1
pronged. One proni; is made up j
of people who would destroy our!
nation in the name of dissent, No I
nation can endure without rules.
National life is always a contract,
a covenant. The government is the ]
guardian of the system, the mod-
erator of the covenant, the enforcer
of the contract. It is never a per-
fect operation. All human efforts
