About Marrying Drunkards.

The nearest to a solution of the di-
vorce difficulty comes at last from a
little German principality, Waldeck.
Instead of permitting the marriage
ofall sorts Of people, irrespective of
character, it is forbidden any one
who is drunkdrd to receive a license.
The officer to whom application is
made has, as one of his duties, to as
certain the character of both parties
as to whether one or the other is adj
dicted to getting drunk. A license
shall in no case be granted to an indi-
vidual who has the habit. This is
doubtless better than keeping the
divorce courts busy undoing such
mismating. A drunkard is incapa-
BILE of building a true home and is al
ways liable to disrupt one already
built.
