Another Oppenheim Novel.
The “'rath to Come—E. Phillips
Oppenheim—Little Brown &. Co.
.Bcston.
Mr. Oppenheim has written an-
'othcr book! One can never be sure
that it is his latest. at least not for
long. and this has been out for fully
a month. If you enjoyed the ninety
odd that proceeded it you will surely
enjoy this one too. Thousands are
reading it. .
l The story leaps along from one
J uta~atliles$¥situati01r toc anoilrer.’ ’N’o’ ’
‘ movie could hold its spectators more
‘tvnse. In this book Mr. Oppenheim
once more justifies the following
quotation from the Boston Tran—
script and the NonfiYOt'k Times:
g‘Tlc is prolific. he is -untiring in the
'invcntion of mysterious plots, he is
in clever weaver of the plausible \vitll
'tllc sensational. and he has lll!‘
necessary gift of facile narrative."
——“and a knack of turning out a
happy ending just when the com-
lplications or the plot threaten worse
disasters." ,
The author carries us a genera-
tion ahead to 1950 and the scene (f
.Book One is laid at Monte Carlo.
"haunted with the; memories of the
famous courtesans. dignitaries.
criminals de hue and arist0crats of
the world." to quote Mr. Oppen-
heinl's opening sentence. It is a
place where not merely fortunes are
won or lost on the turn of a wheel
but where love. honor. and the fate
of empires are staked against a
jealous girl's desire for revenge. the
ambitions of a scheming financier
or the lust and greed of diplomats.
It is. of course, very comforting
to be quite sure that none of our
friends. if we are 100 per cent pat-
lriots. could possibly be found guilty
of any ugly traits of character or of
lreprellcnsible behavior. The hero
.and all his true‘ loyal friends are.
American or British (circulation of
iMr. Oppenheim‘s hooks in Canada
and the British Isles is also large)
,while the base villains—hiss-s-s——
illieir accomplices. mistresses. etc..
are without exception foreigners. In
-lhe dispel-ate game of chance and
lskill which our author chronicles
the players are millionaires. princes.
ipremiers. kings. and Women of su-
jpi-emc physical charm. keen wits.
desperate courage. and for the most
fpztrt loyal to nothing beyond the
gpersonal whim of the moment. .
2 Book Two carries the same group
of characters to America for an in-
ternational conference at “'ashlng-
ton. They meet also in New Ybrk
and on board ocean liners as well-as
on the hero's private yacht. Of
course the plots are foiled: and?-
cven the arch adventuress relents
when she finds that she can no long-
er hope to win back the love she
once forfeited. and clears the hero‘s
name which she had besmirched.
Anyhow. though married to a Ger-
man. she was born an American and
can't possibly be bad clear through.
It is quite impossible to review
seriously what can hardly have been
intended seriously. Mr. Oppen-
heim's book is in no way compar-
able with those writers who. like
Wells, carry their readers into a dis—
tant future in order to picture an
ideal. in utopia (hat may be perhaps
realized. Bellamy foretold a new
social order where co-operation re-
placed cut-throat competition. Jules
Verne confined his prophesies to the
realm of science and invention
which have far outrun his wildest
dreams. '
Mr. Oppenheim does not prophesy
at all (or he is interested in mere
adventure rather than progress. In
the group of political schemers and
self seekers he presents we see noth-
ing new except as each hand of cards
dealt in a poker game is new. From
the scientific or moral standpoint
the psychology and ethics Of the
book will not bear close scrutiny.
It is evident that the problem which
the author has set for himself is
that 9f aflording amusement and JV

GOVERNMENT AND THE RIGHTS
0]“ THE PEOPLE
\VllA'l‘ 18 GOVERNMENT? Ed-
llnund Burke defined it as a contri-
vance of human wisdom to provide
.ior human WANTS.
E Men. he belixed. have a right that
'these wants should be provided for
by this wisdom. Among wants lie
reckoned the want. out of civil so-
ciety, Of a sufficient restraint upon
their passions. .
"Society requires not only that
the passions of individuals should
be subjected. but even in the mass
and body. as well as in the individ-
uals the inclinations of men should
frequently be controlled and their
passions brought into subjection.
This can only be done by a power
out of themselves: and not. in the
exercise of its tunction, subject to
that “ill and to those passions which
it is its oiiice to bridle and subdue.
in this sense the restraints on men
as well on their liberties, are to be
reckoned among theil‘rlghts. But. as
the liberties and the restrictions vary
with times and circumstances. and
admit of infinite modifications. they
cannot be settled by an abstract rule.
and nothing is so foolish as to discuss
them upon that principle!

of human necessities. and of the
things which facilitate or obstruct
