ALL IN ONE CLASS
Classification Bourgeois" Fits
Every American.
IN Realitxskt = Term Of the Highest
Honor Thesnt Arsrchistic Enc
mics Of All Society
wifi Deny It. y,

The average Americans understand
Ing Of the word bourgeois" Is reflect
ed in a common saying which has
passed from the country newspaper
office into ordinary speech: you can't
run a nonpareil newspaper in bour-
geois town." The word, so far as 1t
is used In its typographical sense (and
pronounced "burjoice"), is synony.
nous with rusticity and lack of enter
prise. For the term In its European.
social sense, signifying trading mid
die class, the average American has
never had any use at all, because he
had never been aware of any such d.
vision or classification of the popula-
ton. If he knows the word at all 1t
is only through his reading of Euro
pean books or papers. In its con-
tinental European meaning 1t Is en-
tirely strange to our own usage.
But 1t is now made familiar through
the attacks of bolsheviki and Sparta
Gus people upon all the elements of
society except their own. Another
word. In their hostile and hating sense,
Is flagrantly misuseG. In strictness,
the term means the trading middle
class citizen. Anciently, 1t included
artisans as well il they dwelt in cities
and lived in comfortable houses. The
word distinguishes certain people from
royalties. from the nobility, the gentry
or at least the upper gentry-on the
one hand, and from country people
and poor town laborers on the other.
1t is the same as 'burgher'' or citizen,
and Shakespeare used "citizen" In ex-
actly the same sense, as when he
makes Jaques speak Of the deer
sweeping along "full Of pasture" as
''fat and greasy citizens" or when
Imogen. employing the word adjec-
lively. as we do Bourgeois" declares
fhat she is mot xy a ;igen ns'mnnton
as to seem to die ere sick" In Moli-
ere's Bourgeois GentiIhomme," the
meaning of the word is dramatized in
a comedy of the attempted evolution
(often accomplished) of the "citizen"
into the gentleman" But all this
true and ancient meaning is swept
aside by the bolshevist, who makes
the word signify all people but him
self. For him, there are In the world
but the proletariat worker, the money
less Industrial wage-receiver, on the
one hand. and the bourgeois" on the
other, and he makes the hated ciassi-
hcation include czars and kings,
mobiles, merchants, artisans, even
peasants-all who have accumulated
a few rubles or marks, and who hope
by their industry to accumulate a few
more.
We are. then, In America. all bour-
geois--except few agitators on the
East side Of New York and other CEN
ters OF imported discomfort. From
Wilson down to the poorest farmer.
and including Morgan and Rockefeller
and the man who sells apples and

for teaching me that word" "Bour-
geois" has become a term of the
highest honor. 1t represents Ameri-
cas- triumphant struggle with the
forces Of nature.
