THE REGULATION OF MAR
RIAGES.
Marriage regulation has long been
a pet idea of theorists. But for the
first tliuo, so far as we know, strict
regulations hive been imposed by the
state i:i the new criuiinal code of th>
slate of Washington which went into
effect a few days ago.
This law provides that no woman j
under the age of -l-l years or no man j
of any age except that he marry a
woman over 45, either of whom is a
it.muioii drunkard, habitual er. initial,
weak-minded, afflicted wi':i pulmon
ary tuberculosis in Its advanced
stages, or venereal disease, n ay mar- i
r> within the state of Washington. ?
County auditors are required to have J
affidavits from licensed physicians 1
;.iul attested to by one wituess thai
tne contracting parties do not violate
the above restrictions. Otherwise
they are not permitted to issue li
censes. False statements made in
i dis connection are considered per
jury and will be prosecuted.
This law is certainly a step in the
i ght direction. Tuberculosis and eer
taia venereal diseases are without i
question transmittd by heredity and
it *s no less than a crime to bring
diseased children into the world.
The statistics of crime pro?e without
doubt that the children of crimin
als are predisposed to crime.
Society in self-protection and in
jus' ice to the uuboru child has the
r'ght to prevent the marriage of tin
ct'minal and diseased.
may seem to work an individual
hardship occasionally, but there can
be no argument against the ultimate
N'ii'?t of such marriage regulations.

Smoking is :i filthy habit, and n
I K, fat, black cigar advertises that
you're straying from the higher life
afar. I have walked in summer
meadows, where the sunbeams flash- .
ed and broke, and 1 never saw tin i
horses or the sheep or cattle smoke.
1 have watched thv birds, with won
der. when the world with dew was
wet, and I never saw a robin puffing
&s a cigarette. 1 have fished in
j .any rivers when the sucker crop
was ripe and I never saw a catfish
pulling at a briar pipe. .Man's the
only giving creature that parades this
sale of tears, like a blooming trac- j
lion engine, blowing smoke from!
mouth and ears. If Dame Nature
bad intended, when she first invented
man. thai he'd smoke, she would
have built him on a widely different
;>lan: she'd have fixed him with a
damper and a stovepipe and a jjrate;
le'd have had a smoke consumer that
was strictly up to date. Therefore,
?et the erring mortal put his noisome
fipe in soak ? he can always get a
new one if he feels he needs a
smoke. ? Walt Mason.
