met death because he esteemed more
highly the fulflllment Of his passions
than did he esteem the lives Of his

Tancred grew wise as years added
themselves to his life. AS Sterling
portrays him at this stage OF his life
he might easily be identified with the
pioneers of utopian socialism or even
with the raw beginners Of scientific
socialism. He predicts the downfall
Of monarchy and a consequent better
and moro justly proceeding world. A
man as he, defying church and state,
was not to be suffered alive; It would
be possible that he would impart 10
others his ideas, and that might prove
annoying to his holiness the church
man. and his majesty the king. And 50
Tancred must be given taste of pre-
rack rituals, then the rack and lastly
burial. After this, God would be in
heaven, the king would sit intact up
on his throne and oil the rottenness
of Denmark would be alleviated.
Before Tancred's day of doom he
was for the fourth time visited by
Lilith. She asked him TO give up his
ideas. Wealth would then be his, for
then no would be- rewarded by those
on high for making himself harmless
to them. But Tancred, as afterward

At last the absolute beauty, love and

plan of this group of bankers and
railroad grandees was certain to
arouse the sharpest suspicious. A

LILITH, by George Sterling, Mac
milan Co. Pub. $3.50.
TINE writing of 'Lilith" means an
i other notch in the unusually long
barrelled rifle of dramatic poems
dealing with the effect of the "cray-
ing" upon the life of man. What fol-
lows as a result of the sexual lure,
as Theodore Dresser in the introduce
ton of this book calls this urge, Is
80 universally known that It seems
one would create something new and
unique were the same put into poetry
what Freud and Franz-Ebing have
worked out in the field OF psychology
concerning the origin Of the sexual
craving.
Despite this variation on a theme
as gray as the ages, yet undoubtedly
destined to be subject for discus
sion for generations to come, II in a
modified form, the entire work Is SO
gracefully wrought out that its style
becomes almost an excuse for its ex-
istence and is surely good reason for
reading 1t.
"Lilith" nevertheless is a book treat
ing not only with the relationship Of
man with sex. It raises questions,
too. concerning the ethics Of a mar
tyr. Tancred, the hero OF the play, Is
that He Stayed his father; allowed
himself to be duped by Lilith, thereby
letting his friend Gavin, who he knew
could not swim, drown; and forsaked
his charming and devoted rustic wife
all for the satisfaction of the gain
OF Lilith's body, which absolute Of

time was ripe for a more systematic
organization Of industry. And so,
while congress and the legislatures
were busily enacting law after law,
supposedly edicts Of "the sovereign peo-
pie of the United States" a few mag
mates issued a brief circular which
intrinsically was of far, far more bind

the face Of onrushing economic forces.

high and mighty courts could blink
austerely and pompously hand down
their decisions. But in that room in
Morgan's house sat many of the actual
rulers of the United States; the men
who had the power in the final say OF
ordering what should be done.
Morgan was chairman Of the meet
ing, and with wonted brusque direct
ness went straight to the point.
Thanks to a stenographic report Of
the proceedings which fortunately we
have been able to get hold Of, the work
Of that meeting is clear. The name

BY eUsTAvUs MYERS.

On January 3, 1883, a circular
marked Private and CONFIDENTIAL"
was issued by the three banking
houses OF Drexel, Morgan and Com
pany, Brown Brothers and Company,
and Kidder, Peabody and Company.
The most painstaking care was exer-
cised that this document should not
find its way into the press, or other
wise become public. Indeed, extra
ordinary measures were taken to sur
round its contents with every precau-
ton Of secrecy.
Why this fear? Because the circu-
lar was an invitation, tacitly under
stood as a command, to the great rail-
road magnates to assemble at Morgan's
house, No. 219 Madison avenue, and
there form, In the phrase of the day,
an iron-clad combination. The plan
was to make a strict compact which
would efface competition among GER
tain railroads, and unite those inter
ests in an agreement by which the
people of the United States could be
bled even more effectively than be-
fore. For the sake of appearance, in
case the nature of the undertaking
should leak into public print, the pro-
moters garnished over their real pur-
poses with a string of diverting
phrases. Their sole aim, so they
pleasantly indited it, was an associa-
ton ITO maintain public, reasonable,
uniform and stable rates." and they
added that another object would be
the gathering of statistics regarding
railways.
Such subterfuges deceived nobody
but the credulous or uniformed.
A Historic Meeting in Morgan's House.
That circular is a historic docu-
ment, well worth more than passing
notice; and he who is familiar with
the forces then at work will rightly
consider it of far greater Importance
than presidents messages, Ordain-
ments of congress or courts DEGREES.
At time when the whole gravamen
OF law and juridical precedent was
being used to insist upon industrial
forces remaining stationary and stag
nant, this circular came as a procla-
nation of defiance. Common and
statute law sternly declared that the
thing called competition in trade must
be kept alive, and that il it could not
sustain itself by its own merits, the
law should demand its maintenance.
The causes producing and justifying
competition were passing away, but
none of the law-making bodies recog-
nized the newer conditions, nor made
any provisions for them. But the
magnates realized that the old indis-
criminate system of competition was

law explicitly prohibited combinations,
and any legislation would not only be
Ioutlawed, but would reveal the extent
Of the whole criminal compact.
He Delivers a Mandate.
There was, however a far greater
power than that of law, namely, ths
power of massed money. II any mag
nate present were inclined 20 balk at
the prepared program he was brought
to an instant realization of the pun
ishment when Morgan announced:
am authorized to say, think, on
behalf of the (banking) houses repre-
scented here that if an organization
can be formed practically upon the
basis submitted by the committee, and
with an executive committee able to
enforce it's provisions, upon which the
bankers shall be represented, they are
prepared to say that they will not ne
gotiate, and will do everything in their
power to prevent the negotiation Of
any securities for the construction of
parallel lines, or the extension of lines
not approved by that executive COM
mittee. l wish that distinctly under
stood.
The threat, or promise, as it could
be differently interpreted, was assur-
eddy understood. Vast as was the
wealth of the magnates present or
represented, neither any one or a COM
bination of them, dared chad they
been so disposed) to defy such an ulti-
matum. To do so meant inviting the
vindictive, crushing wrath Of clique
of national and international bankers
whose money and power could be used
with the most destructive results. Nor
was there any possible way of appeal
ing to a higher power.
