MODERN DEGENERAcY IN ART.

Whatever certain academic persons
may say. the world for some thousands
of years has looked uron art only as
an expression OF beauty. 1t may be in
form, color, sound. rhythm or purely
intellectual appeal; but IL there be no
beauty there is no art.
We have no patience with the Gu
bists, the Modernists, the various An
archists who are too lazy or too in
competent to do something that adds
10 the beauty Of life. II is easy TO write
retten prose and call it poetry. 10
draw impossible pictures and call them
paintings, to write cacophony and call
IL music-but none OF these things are
true.
We hate can't hypocrisy and igno-
rance; laziness, inehiciency and in
competence at all times; but we hate
them most when they try TO mask
under the guise of sincerity.
Just now some experts think that n
lot of these so-called art productions
are the result of disordered minds. In
our view it is simply incompetencs
and belief that there are so many
Tools born every minute that a con-
slant reinteration win create sufficient
| converts-and patrons.
Away with such fellowsl He who ir
any way brings real beauty to life anf
