A VENERABLE CHINESE STORY SAYS that Yao, the greatest sage-king of the golden age, had a tree set apart near his palace, to be called the vilification tree. If anyone had an urge to say what he thought of any royal official, the King encouraged him to write it down and affix it to the tree. It occurs to me that one might in this century usefully designate a nice tree, somewhere near the White House-perhaps in Lafayette Square-for a similar purpose. It might serve us today much as it did the Chinese of King Yao's time
