WHAT is A BOURGEOIS?
When Applied as Term of Re.
proach, Clemenceau Felt
Houored

Bourgeois as a term of reproach has
entered into the thought and speech
of at least two generations. 1t rivals
Philistine as a convenient epithet for
what we do not like. In Literature. in
art. most of all in morals, to be bouF-
unspeakably awful. Careful parents and
anxious teachers warn the young
against incurring this taint. You may
be early English IL you must. or late
American If you will. but never can
you think without a shudder of being
bourgeois. The word stands for curse.
indefinite. to be sure. but blighting-
almost as deadly as "un- American"
The malediction came to US from
France and there are those who main
tain that we give it more malign sig
nificance than it has in its country of
origin. Not admitting that we in Amer
lea have a bourgeoisie at all. we get
more worked up over it than do the
French. Professor Barrett Wendell has
recently pointed out that the great
body of students at the French univer-
stiles are bourgeois. So are the leading
professional men: they derive from
middle class families in the provinces.
Such is notoriously the case withspub-
lie men in France. When the socialist
orator Jaures flung the taunt of bour-
geois at the ministry, Clemenceau
eagerly accepted 1t as IL 1t were
a badge of honor. AS we'll reproach a
Tammany statesman for being CLOSE
to the peoplel" 1t appears to be true,
also. that in France 1t is the bourgeois
who do the least bourgeois things Let
an American In search of emancipation
pass through the Latin quarter at 2
o'clock In the morning. He will see the
crowded tables In front of the cafes and
hear the wit and song flying back and
forth. What gayety. what esprit, he
will think, rejecting on the sodden
bourgeoisie of his own land. Well.
nine-tenths of the merry makers before
him are bourgeois.-New York Post.

Mystery Surrounds Deaths
and Belief Grows That
There Was Foul Play.
WOMAN WAS IN THE WAY
Baby Boy Now on the Throne,
and His Father, Prince
Chun, Rules as Regent.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The belief of
many members of the British For
eign Office that Tzu Hsi. China"s
Dowager Empress. died as the result
OF foul play, is strengthened by the
fact that her death came at the psy-
Geological moment 10 prevent serious
disorders arising over the successor
ship. 81
The death of the Dowager, which
1t is announced occurred at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, removes the
gravest danger, the Foreign Office de-
clared to-day, as she was the only
person who was likely to resist the
new regime in an effort to retain her
hold on the throne.
1t is this "timeliness" that makes
her death suspicious. The charge that
both the Emperor and Dowager were
victims of slow poison will never be
really investigated A probe has been
ordered, but the facts, whatever they
are, will undoubtedly be suppressed.
Prince Pu vi, the three-year-old son
of Prince Chun, is now on the throne
though his father, as the newly APP
pointed regent, will be the ruler. If
Chuns administration is as advanced as
expected, clashes with the reactionaries
will ultimately result For the present
the outlook is not considered alarming
by England.

PEKING, Nov. 16.-One hundred days
