Social Heresy.

To the uninitiated the squabbles-no
more dignified term is possible-in certain
branches Of the society known as Colonial
Danes appear decidedly comical. 1t is,
above all things, absurd that a country
whose cornerstone is equality among men
should have a society whose avowed pur-
pose it is to foster inequality among
women. The founders of the Republic
probably never contemplated the likeli-
hood of a hereditary aristocracy in which
the descendants of the pioneers should be
united in shuddering exclusiyeness against
the raids of later arrivals.
+ OF course there was such thing as a
colonial aristocracy at the time of the Rev
olution. The colonies of America were for
more than a hundred years a part of the
British Empire, and as such retained the
habits of thought and many of the social
customs of the mother country. A social
system hundred and fifty years old is not
to be overthrown in a day. But If the
Declaration of independence and the Con-
stitution of the United States mean any
thing at all they mean that this country
has political and social standards Of its
own, which are in many ways opposed to
those of the Old World, and that one of
these-the most important one-is govern
ment by the people.
1t will be easily seen that government by
the people and hereditary aristocracy are
incompatible, not Immediately, but ulti-
mately. II a man Is worthy to hold high
office, to WELD power greater than that of
many European noble. his distinction is
worth very little to him unless his wife and
daughters may share it. If a man becomes
eminent in literature or art, and possesses
the instincts and manners of a gentleman.
he should not be refused entrance to any
society because his father CHANGED to be a
carpenter or a business man instead OF a
descendant of Revolutionary Governor.
The American social system should differ
from that OF Europe precisely as our polit-
ical system differs from constitutional
monarchy. II man is unfit to vote he
should not have that right; if he is unfit
for good society he should be barred out OF
ii. Those who are ignorant and ill-bal-
anced should not be given political power;
the man without the instincts of a gentle-
man, the woman whose behavior proclaims
her to be vulgarian. should not have So
cial power. Social democracy does not
mean that the ignorant, the boorish, the
vulgar, shall force their company upon the
gentle and refined, any more than political
democracy means that a vicious and in
competent demagogue shall be given high
office and control intelligent men. 1t does
mean that the refined man or woman shall
not be barred out of good society because
of obscure ancestors. and that we shall
have no social leaders who think their an
cestry entities them to do heartless and un-
just things. as the woman who presumes on
the greatness of her forefathers OCCASION
ally does. 1t often happens in this country,
in both political and social life, that the
true aristocrat is the true democrat

Johnnie Hassinger, who has been

With typhoid fever, died at the resi-

Young streets, at 3:15 yesterday morn
ing.
Throughout his long illness young
Hassinger maintained stout fight,
and for over two months his splendid
constitution encouraged his friends in
the hope that he would pull through;
but about a month ago a serious turn
made itself apparent and the young
fellow gradually sank and died, as
stated.
For some time he was connected with
the Hawaiian Electric Company and
in both business and social life his gen
ial nature and manliness gained for
him the esteem of all with whom he
came in contact. Young Hassinger was
born in this city just twenty-one years
ago and his untimely death is deeply
deplored. The funeral will be held to-
afternoon at o'clock from
the family residence.
