EQUITY IN ALL AGES.


We impressed with the truth Of the declaration
Of the preacher, that there is nothing new under the
whenever the veil Of the past lifted and we get
much glimpse of the ways and thoughts of
the ancients who lived and loved and made laws and
presumably obeyed them in the twilight days Of recorded
history. Law is the foundation of social order AS
far back discovered writings of the ancient exist
law existed founded upon the principles Of equity
we recognize today and dealing with the same human
impulses and fraities The translated hierogyphs Of
Egypt carry back some 1000 years B. c., and show
that at that time there existed high state Of aw-reg
ulated social order Clay tablets at ancient Nppur, in
Mespotamia the cradle region Of mankind according to
biblical history, and certainly the oldest known civ
zton according. the reckoning of archaeologsts re-
veal at still older dates than those of Egypt an equally
lawgoverned civilization. There no social order with

without equity for law must be founded upon equity
to endure
Whether law established by decree of an auto
crat, like the code of Hamurab, and probably the still
earlier code Of Nippur or came from the hands of
great lawgiver, like Moses and Lycurgus, find that
has always had in it the principles of equity and pro-
lection of human rights Justice has been human char

find it today in the unwrtten laws and customs of the
most primitive tribes Different and different ages
have not all thought alike, had the same ideas of
right and wrong, do they today, but fundamental
with them all the thought Of justice individual rights
and the duty Of the individual to the welfare.
There nothing in any Of our modern panaceas for
social and political evils, Even the Soviet idea that
everybody and everything belongs to the state and the
state may regulate the life and labor of the Individual

All laws for the government of society that men
