COUPLES
MUST Be
HEALTHY
HELEN RING ROBINSON WILL
INTRODUCE BILL IN LEGlS-
LATURE TO RAISE STANDARD
OF COLORADO CHILDREN

A bill will be introduced into the
next legislature to compel couples
wishing to be married in Colorado
to show health certificates before
marriage licenses are issued to
them. Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson,
state senator-elect, who will be the
first woman to sit in the Colorado
senate, announced last night that
she will introduce such bill. She
will have the support of Association
for Prevention and Control of Tu-
berculosis, in conjunction with or
ganizations whihc give relief to tu-
bercular sufferers, which will draw
up such a law and have some other
legislator present 1t.
Speaking from the standpoint
of eugenics," said Mrs. Robinson
last night, Il think we all agree
that some sort of legislation is nee
essary to prevent the physically un-
fit from marrying. There are many
things to consider, however, before
passing a law that would require
a health certificate along with a
marriage license, and until l have
considered all OF them carefully
should not want to present bill. Il
am studying the question carefully
The charity organizations are ad-
vocating a law that would prevent
a man or woman who was in the in
durable stage of tuberculosis from
marrying. Members of the various
woman's clubs are urging a health
marriage law" from the point OF
view that it is criminal for the
state to allow persons afflicted with
certain diseases to marry and bring
children into the world.
The proposed law would prevent
the marriage of any person who
suffered IRON an incurable disease
The health marriage" bill will
go before the legislature with the
Endorsement of the Woman's club
the physicians, most of the minis
ters and the charity organizations.

motions for new trials and the ap-
peals on tiimsy pretexts that have
characterized most criminal prose-
cutions Of late years, will read with
relief and new hope the record Of
the simple, sane and thoroughly
dignihed procedure followed by the
trial judge. The court appointed a
commission of five well-known
alienists to examine the accused and
report to the court as to his sanity.
AS noted last week in our news
columns, the commission, after
careful investigation, reported un-
animously that Schrank was suffer-
ing from insane delusions, that he
was insane at the present time and
that he was unable to conduct his
defense intelligently. AS a part Of
the report, they submitted state
ment prepared by Schrank to be
read to the jury. which statement
alone contained sufficient internat
evidence of Schrank's mental ire
sponsibility. According to the news
papers, Schrank showed keen disap-
pointment in not being allowed to
pose as a martyr, to the satisfaction
OF his paranoiac delusions and the
inspiration OF other insane cranks.
The entire procedure, says The
journal of the American Medical
Association, Is in gratifying contrast
to some of our celebrated" murder
trials and is an unanswerable reply
to the argument that such specta-
cles are necessary to protect individ-
ual rights or are unavoidable under
our laws. Judge A. C. Backus, the
trial judge, deserves the approba-
ton of all good citizens. and espe-
cially of all practitioners OF medi-
cine and law. since 1t Is on these
two professions that the scandal
and disgrace of the abuses of ex-
pert testimony have fallen most
heavily.

JAP SUCCESS
AS A FARMER

Fort Lupton. Dec. 12-That Japs
make successful farmers, has been
demonstrated in the Fort Lupton
district this season by Y. Takaki,
who operated q farm of $50 acres,
which he rented from Chas. kuentz-
man, and made so much money that
he has decided to go to Japan soon
to get a little girl whom he left be-
hind there and bring her back to
America as his bride.
Takaki planted $50 acres of
beets, 40 acres of small grain, 80
acres of alfalfa, 10 acres of cab
bage, and kept eight teams busy
during the summer, with Is men
employed. The remainder of the
land is in grass pasture.
He is now feeding three carloads
of sheep, which he expects to have
fattened within few weeks. after
which he will leave for Japan.

Mrs. Anna Turner proved up on
her homestead last Saturday. In
this line is recorded a story OF hard
work, devotion to family and pluck
that few endure to accomplish the
end for which one sets his aim.
Five years ago Mrs. Turner, her
husband and four children drove
into the district east OF Ault to
win 4 home. Mr.. Turner was Ill but
brave, and his wife and children
with him were determined to make
their home in the dry land country
that there the husband and father
might be restored to health. In
the meantime a living was to be
made.
After a consultation 1t was decid-
ed that the father should stay nome
and keep the house as his health
would not permit him to do other
wise and the wife started to become
the provider. She did it so we'll

tesy to all, his warm genial nature
and pleasing manners had endeared
him to many. His acquaintance
throughout this district was wide,
as he was the government repre-
sentative in the land office business
in Greeley. He was popular in bus
mess. social and lodge circles alike.
The district court, which has
been in session all week, was called
this morning to adjourn until Mon
day. Ebert English, the present
deputy clerk, was appointed to fill
out the unexpired term of Mr.. Mad
den, which ended in January, and
Miss Avis Kindred, who has been
a deputy in the office, was named
as deputy to fill the place Mr.
