What Is a Bourgeois?
(BOstOn Transcript. }

The word is now familiar through
+,,o attacks of bolsheviki and SPARTA
c,,s people upon all the elements OF
society except their own. Another
word in their hostile and hating
sense, is fagrantly misused. In strict
ness the term means the trading MD
d1n class citizen. Anciently 1t includ-
cd artisans as we'll if they dWelt IN
cities and lived in comfortable houses.
r1ba word distinguishes certain people
from royalties, from the noplllty, the
oan+ry-or at least the upper gentry
on the one hand and from country
,,oo,1e and poor town laborers on the
other. It is the same as "burgher,
or citizen and Shakespeare used "cltl-
zoo" in exactly the same sense, as
when he makes JaQues speak of the
deer, sweeping along "full of pas
+,7re =" as fat and greasy citizens" or
when Imogen, employing the word
a6iactivelv. as we do ''bOurgeois," de-
c1ared that she is mot SO citizen a.
uan+o1, as to seem to die, ere sick"
In Moliere's Bourgeois Gentil-
homme," the meaning of the word is
dramatized in a comedy of the at
+amnted evolution Gotten accomplish
az Of the "citizen'' into the gentle
man" But all this true and ancient
meaning is swept aside by the bolshc-
visit who makes the word signify. all

THE SOCIETY OF NATIONS.

With the announcement of the
charter of the Society of Nations, the
most progressive stride in interna-
tional history toward the abolish
ment of war has been taken. AS con-
stituted the organization is not a So
ciety of Nations in the broadcast
sense. IT is still a balance of power
but a power of construction rather
than destruction, The five major ma
tons that co-operated in the defeat
Of the Central Powers will, in the flu
ture, dictate to the world in so far as
relations between peoples are con-
cerned, avoiding any DEGREES that
might be interpreted as interfering
with domestic policies.
The charter has been made public.
Immediate criticism may be expected.
Small nations who believe they have
been Disseminated against may pro-
test. Small men will Shrek. The
protests of the small nations may
make necessary the amendment Of
some Of the regulations. The small
men may shrek until they reach a
point of exhaustion. No one except
other small men will pay the slightest
attention when they froth at the
mouth.
President Wilson was told he could
not organize a Society Of Nations. So

Making American Citizens.

New Bedford lis setting a good ex-
ample to other New England cities by
it's adoption of an aggressive move
ment for the characterization of the
foreign born population engaged in
industrial work A large proportion
of the mill operatives have no knowI-
edge of English or of the duties and
j responsibilities of American citi-
zens. The plan for the establishment
of characterization classes has the
support of the chamber of commerce.

A, fraternal societies and the man.
ufacturers. School buildings and
rooms in the textile mills are used as
! meeting places for the classes and
among the instructors are persons of
foreign birth who have learned the
language of this country and who
appreciate the meaning of the two
words American citizenship. Patri-
tic instruction also is given to foreign
born children by the Boy Scouts and
the Girl Scouts, troops of which are
stationed at each mill.
This program of a great textile city
and the earnestness of the workers
indicate that at last the serousn ess
of the problem of assimilatilg the
foreign-born population is recognized
and there is no doubt that two or
three years Of educational endeavor
will make New Bedford a better city
than it is today.
1t is not enough to amend immi-
grafton laws The thousands of for
eign-bOrn population is recognized
and there is no doubt that two or
three years of educational e1deavOr
will make New Bedford a better city
than it is today.
It is not enough to amend imm1gra-
ton laws The thousands Of foreign
ers who neither read nor speak Eng
lish after long residence in this coun-
try must be dealt with. Their labor
is desirable and there is no demand
! for the deportation of the orderly
and the industrious. But they cannot
| become identified with the best inter-
ests of the country until they have a
fair knowledge of our language. The
! instruction Of these people has been
! delayed too long; it is necessary to
! make up for lost time, and legislation
requiring anyone to leave the coun-
, try who refuses to learn English
within q, reasona BILE period ought to
, be passed by congress.
There is no need, however of wait
ing for new laws. Much car be ac-
comphshed under existing conditions.
The New Bedford way is character
! lied by patriotic sentiment and COM
mon sense.

past our eHeA4 8rowfng popula-
ton to keep eur Industries ex-
panding at their normal rate.
With Immigration stopped and
emigration on a large scale soon
to begin it is evident that we are
not going to have enough men
for our industries. even on a pre-
war basis, and allowing for no
growth.
Mr.. Sprague may be denounced as
a dreaming optimist. Even his SAN
ity may be questioned by the Grape
Hangers League. Yet his prophecy
seems reasonable. If it is true that
the remainder of the world is beg
ging for American goods industrial
prosperity may descend on us like an
avalanche.
There are many factors to be con-
sidered in attempting to lift the veil
hiding the future. England has al
ready placed an embargo on certain
wares from all countries in order to
permit her own industries to become
re-esta blished. 1t is true that the
embargo does not begin to scratch
the surface of American exports but
| it may be taken as a warning of SIM
| liar measures to follow if the product
| of American labor menaces the well
| fare of the British Isles. Erecting
trade fences is novel business for
England but she had expert instruc
tors in the high tariff advocates of
America.
1t has also been pointed out that
the workingmen in the United States
must be prepared to fight stiff compe-
tition. Japan has come to the fore
industrially and her sa gacious and
for commercial war. AS the average
laborer in Japan receives only fifty
cents a day it can be seen that Amer
lea is handica pped before her ships
haul in their anchors. If organized
labor's contention for a. universal
eight hour day is conceded it will
! have a serious effect on production in
| this country.

Lets find the long lost days of Gone,
So lit with happy laughter
That sunset raced before the dawn
With gladness romping after.
