THE ETERNAL CITY-A Story of the
Peoples Power, by Hall Game. II mo-
cloth $3.50 Publishers: d. Appleton
& Co., 72 Fifth avenue, New York.
Hall Game has a habit of writing inter
esting and successful novels. "The
Christian" s'The Manxman,' 1.-THE Bond
man. and ''The Deemster'' was each in
its way masterpiece and the public
gave the mark of approval Many critics
say that The Eternal City" is by far the
most virile and charming book that Hall
Game has written. That is the opinion
of the author, and though that view is
not usual, it is our conviction that a wri-
ter is the best judge of his master produce
tion.
SIMPSONS struggle with the Philstines
and his love for Delilah is not plot
one would regard as furnishing a proper
setting for modern novel, but Mr. Caine
has modernized it in a manner that is in
genius and striking. Like Dickens, Mr.
Game believes that there should be a
moral in all his novels and The Eterna
y,
deals with the greatest power in our mod
ern world.
The strong man in Mr. Gaines story is
intended to stand for the great power
which during the nineteenth century has
more than any other, asserted its right
full place in the order Of the world-tht
power of the people. Time was when the
powers of the world were arrogated BY
the peoples rulers. The king stood fol
the state, and the only rights the people
possessed were those he granted to then
out Of his absolute power. That cOndi
tion has entirely changed. We now SET
that the rights of the people are in thu
people. and that kings and rulers can dc
no more than curtail them. This is, per-
haps, the greatest revolution that the
world has ever witnessed, and the nine
teenth century has done more than any
previous century to bring it to pass But

though the reality of absolutism has dis
appeared with it's claims of divine right
and of infalibiity in temporal affairs,
the shows and pageants OF the old order
still exist. More than that, they are con-
stantly making new efforts to recover
their lost places. One of these efforts
takes the name Of Imperialism, another
the name of Militarism, third the name
of Temporal Power of the Pope. They
are being met and fought by the Samson
of popular right, and the prediction may
be haZarded that the great struggle OF
the twentieth century, both in political
and religious life, will be concerned with
the ultimate triumph of the will of the
people over the absolute wills that have
hitherto curtaled or controlled It,

tuition of SURPRISING justice and nobility,
perhaps the freest, most liberal, most en-
lightened constitution that has ever yet

the defects of your qualities even In Am-
erica, where arrogated rights show them
selves in the realms of capital and of indi-
vidual ownership OF land almost as abso-
lutely as on the thrones OF the Old World.
The Samson of popular power has to fight
the arrogated rights that come in the
name of monopolies as we'll as those that
come In the name of monarchies.
