WRITER MUST HAVE STIMULUS
Distinction Is Pointed Out Betweer
the Interpretative and the
Creative Artist.
This dogma that ideas have m
place in a novel is poisonous non
sense that ought not to be spread ir
a society where the mind is unnatu
rally receptive because it is fatiguec
by the contemplation of horror. Ar
artist who is inspired to creation noi
by ideas but only by the stimulus oi
wild external adventure is an inter
pretative rather than a creative
artist. As a dancer must wait foi
the music, so he must wait for louc
events to give a tune for the move
ments of his imagination. As soor
as Rudyard Kipling no longer sav
from his window little brown mer
walking light and sinister like car
nivores in the molten Indian sun
light, but looked out instead on the
pump and three geese on the village
green, his mind refused to dance. II
is long since Joseph Conrad left the
sea, and his imagination no longei
gets its rhythm from the storms. Bui
the man in whose brain ideas circle
upwards to the truth has the rhythm
of their flight and the adventure oi
their quest perpetually within him,
They are visitants that every artisl
must harbor if he wants to be per
manently in communion with the
mind of the world.—The New Re
public.
KNOW ONLY THE ROMANCE
Writers Who Dote on “Flashing Sa
bers" Have Never Seen the Stern
Realities of War.
How many people who talk oi
write about war would have the cour
age to face a minute, fractional part
of the reality underlying war’s inher
ited romance ? questions Arthur Ruh]
in Collier’s Weekly.
People speak with pleasant excite
ment of “flashing sabers” without
the remotest thought of what flash
ing sabers do. A saber does not stop
in midair with its flashing, where a
Meissonier or a Detaille would paint
it—it goes right on through the
cords and veins of a man’s neck. Sa
ber wounds are not very common,
but there was one in the Vienna hos
pital that morning—a V-shaped
trench in which you could have laid
four fingers flat, down through the
hair and into the back of the man’s
neck so close to the big blood vessel
that you could see it beat under its
film of tissue, the only thing between
him and death.
I thought of it a day or two later
when I was reading a book about the
Austrian army officer’s life, written
by an English lady, and came across
the phrase, “‘Sharpen sabers!’ was
the joyful cry.”
SERIOUS OBSTACLE.
“Has your boy started in business
yet?”
“No. He’s been out of college over
a year now, but he’s still looking
around.”
“Why don’t you take him in with
you ?”
“Well, to tell the truth, he’s got
his heart set on a job that pays at
least $10,000 a year and I don’t
make that much myself.”

The Home News boasts of the
fact that it is the only paper in
