OF QUESTIONABLE UTILITY.

The measure now pending before the
Minnesota Legislature and which, it
is said, will probably pass that body,
forbidding marriages between couples
nj of whom is an epileptic, imbecile,
predetermined or afflicted with chronic
insanity, has attracted a wide share of
attention throughout the country, and
there is a large divergence of views
or the part of medical and other ex-
perts as to the ACCESSIBILITY of such a
statute. Aimed at the classes above
enumerated, it necessarily involves all
persons seeking the marriage relation
because every applicant for a license
woul1 be compelled to pass a physical
examination and d mental one as well.
One result would be the frequent rails
ing of nice distinctions regarding san
ity or insanity, while there would ap-
pear to be no good reason for forbid
ding matrimony to a man or woman
subject to occasional attacks of epilep-
sy, for statistics show that the origin
of most cases of that disease can be
traced to criminals, confirmed drunk
ards and degenerates of all sorts rather
than to parents one of whom is epilep-
tic. A marriage of an imbecile to a
person perfectly sane and in sound
health is very improbable, naturally,
and the same thing is true of the
predetermined. The proposed law in
general appears to be unnecessary, and
may be classed with other freak legis-
lation generally.
