AM no perfectionist. I do not build the
I spasmodic s6b nor spill the scaldjng tear
X because all men are not Sir Galah'ads in
quest of Holy Grail, and allAvomen angels
with two pair f reversible wings and the aurora
borealis for a hat band. I might get lonesome
in a world like that. I do not expect to see re
ligion without cant, wealth without want, and
virtue without vice; but I do hope to see the
human race devote itself to grander aims than
following the fashion and camping on the trail
of cart-wheel dollars. I want to see more homes
and fewer hovels, more men and fewer dudes. I
want to see more women with the moral courage
to brave the odium of being old maids rather
than the pitiful weakness to become loveless
wives. I want to see more mothers who would
rather be queen of their homes than the favorites
of fashionable circles; women who would rather
have the love of their husbands than the insolent
admiration of the whole he-world women who
do not know too much at 15 and too little at 50."
He Stripped the Veil from Life's Crimson Shame
The above Is but a brief extract from one of
'the hundreds of articles in the first complete
edition of Brann, the Iconoclast. But it gives a
hint of Brann's wizardry of words, and the fury
with which ho attacked every fake and fraud in
Christendom. If women were bad he fought
them. If men were bad he hurled himself upon
them with the crash of an avenging angel. High
or low, panderers or hypocrites, or political graf
ters, or religious fakers, or "polite sassiety" all
felt the scorpion whip of Brann's stinging words.
The Wizard of Words
Brann, the Iconoclast, raised his voice in pro
test wherever he saw sham and rottenness. Ho
exposed high or low in all their shame while the
world blushed. Brann was an image breaker.
When he struck the fcls3 draperies of virtue fell,
the shackles that bound men and women to blind
slavery were smashed, and the nests of lies were
scattered to the four winds. And Brann's
weapon was words. But how he could
use them! The world has never seen the
like of his masterful pen. As one man
wrote: "He was the equal of Shake
speare, De" Maupassant, Hugo, Balzac,
and Elbert Hubbard rolled in one."

-Branny the Iconoclast-
A FEW CHAPTERS
"The woman who Inveigles some poor fool Into
calling her his tootsie-wootsle over his own signa
ture, then brings suit for breach of promise or the,
seventh commandment; who exhibits her broken
heart to the judge and jury and demands that it be
patched up with Uncle gam's illuminated angruish
plasters sends a good reputation to join a bad
character in hope of monetary reward well, she,
too, may bo legally honest, but no woman worth
powder to blow her to perdition ever did or ever
will carry such a case into court. When a wo
man's heart is really hurting her money is not
going to help It; when she's truly sorry for her
sin she tells her troubles to the Lord instead of
to policemen and reporters."
