Without discussion this article disappeared and never was exhibited. What were the grounds for refusing Mr. Mutt's fountain :1. Some contended it was immoral, vulgar. 2. Others, it was plagiarism, a plain piece of plumbing. Now Mr. Mutt's fountain is not immoral, that is absurd, no more than a bath tub is immoral. It is a fixture that you see every day in plumbers' shoe windows. Whether Mr. Mutt with his n hands made the fountain or not has no importance. He CHOSE it.

Bathroom ing thing about our human institution is that although a man marry he can never be only a husband. Besides being a moneymaking device and the sse man that one woman can sleep with in legal purity with out sin he may even be as well some other woman's very personification of her ab stract idea. Sin, while to his employees he is nothing but their Boss, to his children only their Father, and to himself certainly something more complex. But with objects and ideas it is different.
