Law ~ The List for Power
There IS frst-class example Of
how the lust for power can run
away with man, an example Of
how other sins are spawned by this
one, in the Bible story of King
Ahab and the private citizen named
Naboth- Nearly all readers of the
Bible know this story, and those
who do not know it should look it
up (see the references given here),
for it is a dramatic story King
Ahab was of course one of the
wealthiest men in the kingdom He
had all he needed and more besides
But he wanted the vineyard Of the
small farmer Naboth. He wanted
it so much that he was willing to
break the law of the land. he was
willing to go even as far as muir
der, to get what he wanted.
Ahab could never have got that
vineyard by legal means. If Naboth
did not want to sell, there was no
law to make him. More than that,
according to the law of those
times, Naboth was required to hold
on to his property. Ancient Hebrew
law saw to it that every family
was provided with land, and must
not get rid Of their landed prop
erty. large or small. Ahab was at
first ."stumped" by this fact. But
spurred by his wife Jezebel, a sort
of Lady Macbeth, Ahab rode right
through the law, using perjury and
murder before he was through, all
to get that one vineyard

Ny Rights and ny Reach

One thing is certain: the prophet
Elijah, being Gods man and not
the kings, saw no good in what
Ahab had done. There was nothing
in being a king which gave man
the right to disregard other people,
nothing in being a king that gave
q man the right to smash the laws
Of God. Ahab must have thought,
my rights 20 as far as can
reach" But the fact is, the true
rights Of a man, especially strong
man, are very seldom as big as his
reach. To put that into other
words: Don't think that because
you can get by with it you have a
right to do anything you please.
When you. whoever you are, begin
to think your rights outrank all
others rights, take care The sin
has already begun to work in you
too.

DISCRIMINATION, anybody?
Here's that word again! The
President used it when he was sup
posed to use Indignation. Now
comes the Vice President.
| The word is discrimination. .
The significant thing to note is that
| that oppos sing discrimination
doesn't mean favoring Indignation.
Indeed, it can mean the opposite.
| l call this to the attention of
several readers who, as evidence
that Vice President Nixon hasn't
eased up on Indignation at all, send
me copies of a New York Herald
Tribune story on his speech to a
religious conference in Washington
denouncing raci al and religious
discrimination" of every kind. It
is noteworthy that both the Presi-
dent and the Vice President are
taking pains to speak against dis
elimination now but not in favor
of Indignation. Y
In Columbiana Ala. last week
the official board of the Methodist
Church resolved that equal op-
portunities for the races without
discrimination can much more
nearly be attained where the races
are segregated"
The board pointed out truly that
there can be discrimination in
both segregated and integrated re-
lationships.' Indignation breeds
discrimination, it Well-said. The
fact that Messrs. Eisenhower and
Nixon are going so out of their
ways now to say discrimination
always and 'integration' never w
deserves headlines.

Uncharted Seas

Prince Edward County beginning Septem-
Der |, 1859.
On January 81, 1859, the legislature Of
Virginia in special session, unequal to the
task of maintaining the States position
against integration, set up the Perrow study
commission. A month later, by a bare ma
JOrity, the Legislature enacted laws Of free
dom Of choice SO called None Of the Acts
of the legislature of 1859 have been tested,
in fact the laws as enacted have not yet
been published.
The Board Of Supervisors, it appears to
us, has taken the only practical course dis
tasteful as it is. Faced with publishing
budget, holding public hearing on the bud
get and setting levy by June 80 some ac-
ton was necessary.
Following the pattern Of four years and
maintaining the same position taken in
1865. the Board will budget no funds for
public schools or educational purposes in
l959-6O
The County finds itself in the same posi-
ton. as in 1855, namely no funds for
schools The Prince Edward Educational
Corporation, which recently was re-incorp-
Grated under the name. the Prince Edward
School Foundation, was formed in 1866 for
the purpose of providing education for the
white pupils. That organization has detail
ed plans for operating private schools in
Prince Edward County and is calling upon
the citizens Of the county to contribute for
this purpose. In 1865, over 5000, 900 was
pledged and $4,000 paid in cash Renewal
Of these pledges is sought in a campaign
now under way.
The purpose of the Prince Edward School
Foundation is to provide education for all
white pupils Of the county who desire to at
tend private schools. The white teachers of
the county have been offered employment
and the response has been gratifying Hous-
ing has been arranged and plans for equip
ment are underway. Again, as in 1865, the
people Of Prince Edward launch upon an
uncharted sea. Their course is set and we
believe they have the will to reach their
goal.
Faith In the days ahead many decisions
are to be made. Some misunderstanding
may come. Some inconvenience must be
borne. Disappointment are certain Only
through faith = faith in our leaders, faith
in our elected officials faith in ourselves =
through faith the greatest Of problems can
be solved

Brilliantly in the magazine
~. S. A." Charleston Anthony
Harrigan writes of "the other

remote from the megalopolis Of

rich regional differences.
Too many powerful mass circu-
lation journals in our country are
written in and for the people Of
one area, indeed one city-state, New
York City Life in these United
States is, Of course, much more
than the complex of ideologies and

New York's liberal press. Never

invariably presented as the true

l can swear to all Mr.. Harrigan
says, after touring this land for the

its infinite varieties Of accent,
