The Charn-Poacher

THE moral content of ivory tower art
a consists df cruelty and sensuality;
the former deriving from the fact that
the artist repudiates the brotherhood
of man, and the latter from the fact
that he repudiates the comradeship of
woman. There are two uses for women
in the ivory tower-first, to sweep and
dust and scrub the floors, and second
to entertain the master by the exercise
OF that mystical thing he calls
Charm" The worst enemy of ivory
tower life is boredom, and this puts
a heavy task on the charmers; great
many are needed, and they have to
work desperately to keep their charms
active with lipsticks and scented ex-
tracts III slender violet or green walls
from Paris. With the best of efforts
they are unable to equal the charming
Of newer and fresher rivals, and so
we have tragedies, which afford
themes for splendid art works by the
next generation Of ivory tower dwell
lers
1t is notorious that a few women
are not content with either function,
the busting -sweeping- scrubbing, or the

charming. These women insist upon
having something to do with their
own destinies, and they are called
"shrews," and are the especially bane
Of ivory tower artists; the condition
Of being entangled with one of them
affords the basis for the comedies OF
ivory tower life. The artist who is so
unlucky as to have his tower seized
by shrew is obliged to flee from her
ongue, and he wanders over the world,
looking for some charm belonging to
some other man, which the wandering
artist can steal, because the other man
is obliged to be away from home,
earning money to pay for the lipsticks
and scented extracts from Paris.
The artist thus fits like bee from
charm, and has gayly impudent
formula which expresses his attitude,
"I'll try anything once" Afterwards
he can put it into a novel, and live
for lifetime on the royalties; his

>and depraving books ever published
in America. It is long jeering, not
merely at marriage, but at love, and
every notion of loyalty and honor in
love. Jurgen's formula, II will try
anything once"-meaning, of course,
l will have sexual relations with any
woman once--has had eight years to
be thoroughly bootlegged among the
college youth of America; and I am
moved to wonder how many thousands
of lads have been caused to suffer
atrocious torments from gonorrheal
infection, or to spend their later years
in wheelchairs as result of syphilitic
infection.
l write this, and my friend and BIZ
ographer, Floyd Dell, who is reading
proofs, is moved to violent protest.
He thinks "there are so many other
moving and realistic persuasions to
sexual intercourse; also that 'such
books actually take the place of overt
action for the people who read them,
as Omar's verses take the place of
BOOZE" My answer is that of course
a great many book-people do lose the
habit of action, but surely not all. I
have known a number of "booze-
fighters" who quoted Omar with gem
uine fervor. Of course it is not true
that an art-work inspires every per-
son to action every time; neverthe-
less, it is true that art-works are one
OF the great sources of human action.
and have been so recognized by all
who wished to incite to action. To
say that people can be taught to
ridicule true love without ever being
led to practice false love, seems to
me to overlook the most elementary
facts of psychology.
1t happens that Floyd Dell is not
a worshipper of Cabell's art. But 9TH
ers are, and these fly into rage with
me. "Jurgen" is a priceless work of
literature, they tell me; so charmingly
written, so witty and sophisticated
surely that makes a difference! NV
answer is, it makes just as much diff
ference as does the fact that a rattle
snake has the scales on its back ar
ranged in pretty patterns, or that
the teeth and claws of tiger are of
ivory whiteness and gracefully curved.
You know exactly how much differ
ence that makes to you, when you
find the rattlesnake or the tiger in
your home.
