No abuse hopelessly alienates a dog's affection for its master, and seemingly no out- rage completely undermines the touching con- fidence of the mass of men in the existing authority, whether in Turkey or Russia or New York. INDIVIDUALISM AND DEMOCRACY 167 Society is not an aggregate of disassociated units. It may not be properly called an organ- ism, but it is an organization, and an organiza- tion that is not chance nor a voluntary affair, nor yet a contract. It is an authoritative group, wi...th all degrees of maturity from help- less infancy to powerful, well-developed per- sonalities. The nominal power is seldom in the same hands that yield the real power. The experts in Russia's history are not agreed among themselves to-day upon who is really ruling Russia. The ideal government would be that, no doubt, in which political power would be given in exact proportion to those who were morally and intellectually the maturest and most efficient. This ideal we cannot, at present, realize, and for the simple reason that no human wisdom can really determine grades of moral and intellectual maturity.
