No day of national ob servance has even grown so big, so quickly. The Russians for years have been using May 1 to parade its military might, symbol of its philosophy of rule through force and fear.| In the United States, May 1 now has become a day for a demonstration of a dif ferent sort. 'lt is a day for reaffirmation of faith in the rule of law in the daily lives of all Americans. It is a time for imparting to all citizens a deeper awareness of the part that our laws and courts play in sustaining the spiritual and social values we cherish most as a nation. In the United States the law is superior to the government; the courts are designed to pro tect the rights and property of the individual against the power THE CHOWAN HERALD W w I jfj- t 8 ' ; ■ >. x s ■LJUM - 4*BJPiP§ BULL BY THE TAIL—It isn’t that they have anything against taking the bull by the horns down Mexico way. It just isn’t sporting. This rider has galloped up in back of the bull, lifted him off the ground by his tail, and thrown him to the sand. A “gentlemen’s sport,” the exercise developed from an ancient method of halting cattle stampedes by "grounding” the lead bulls. of the State. Under the totalitarian con cept, the State stands above the law. What they call law amounts to merely a codifica tion of the will of the dictators. There courts are no more than tools for crushing the rights of the individual and exalting the power of the State. Americans can be proud of the fact that they have a legal system in which order is pre served and disputes are settled with reference to a body of principles, which are grounded on a recognition of the dignity of the individual. Some think that the law re stricts and restrains. As a re sult, they have no respect for the law. But freedom de pends on reasonable restraint. 'No matter what sacrifice spe cific rules of 'the law require of each of us, let us remember that the denials the Law im poses on us are nothing com pared to the protection it offers us. Our defiance of it in areas where it interferes with our [ convenience could easily lead to I defiance of it in areas indis pensable to our lifj, liberty, and I pursuit of happiness, i Law gives the individual se curity that he could obtain in no other way; it protects the family and other groups organ ized tor the advcUKxineui. ul common interests; it permits the growth of great cities and the development of vast enterprises. In other words, it is the ce ment that holds our free socie ty together. A system of law can exist only to the extent that people themselves support it. The av erage citizen may ask himself: What can I do to increase re spect for law and order? Five simple things are suggested: 1. Accept jury duty when called, regardless of personal in convenience. I 2. Appear as a witness, give evidence and otherwise cooper ate in the administration of jus tice. i 3. Publicly compliment law enforcement officers and jurists when they render extraordinary service. 4. Respect and uphold all laws. 5. Teach your children to grow up with respect for law and order.
