EUGENICS ANpjIARRIAGES
Wisconsin Law Has laterally Lessened the
Number of Weddings.
There wcio 1534 fewer weddings in Wiscon
sin during the rlrst five months of this yeur
than during the corresponding period of 1913.
This decrease Is laid entirely to the new
eugenics" marriage law, says the Chicago
Journal. Probably tho effect of that law Is
even greater than these figures Indicate Until
tho outbreak of the war, this year has been
a more prosperous than last, and good times
always mean an Increase in tho number of
marriages.
What has happened to the 3000 or 1010 young
people of Wisconsin who,se natural nnd proper
desire to founil new homes has been checked
by this new law?
The well-to-do among them havo mdo a
little excursion, and been married outside the
rftdie. That Is a very easy method of evasion
fur those who have the price.
A certain number of others havo contracted
common law marriages, which. In tho opln.on
of at least one judge, aro not nft'ectert by
tho new luw.
A few more have decided tn delay their nup
tials for mouths ami years, either In tho def.
Inite hope of being married outside tho state
or ,ln the vague expectation that "fame,
thing will turn up."
A few have broken off their engagements
altogether.
And some-let us hope the number is not
larco-have formed Irregular, clandestine
unions.
The mating Instinct Is too strong to bo curbed
by any law. it can bo guided and regulated
only; and even this cannot be done with ad.
vantage unless the law s backed by a strong,
enlightened public opinion Tho attempt to
