We endorse tn following from the
Nashville Banner:
"The bill introduced by Mr. Buquo,
TO prohibit the issuance of marriage
license to males under twenty-ona years
and females under eighteen years of
age, unless the proposed union is
sanctioned bv the parents OF the con-
tracing parties, ought to pass both
branches of the General Assembly
without disse2:ing vote. 1t would
save much domestic unhappiness and
cause a heavy decrease il the number
Of divorces. Besides, no young man
under under age is qualified TO assume
such grave responsibility as attaches
to the custodian of girl not out OF
her teens, who, as the poet tells us,
finds heaven or hell on the day she be-
comes a bride. Neither is the young
girl OF the period mentally or physical
~ fitted to take upon herself the cares
that arc the natural result of wedlock
When the measure comes up for final
disposition we shall see what Senator or
Representative viii, by voting against
the bill show he is in favor of cOntinu-
ing a custom that has wrought so much
misery in this not to happy world OF
Onrs.
