Only The Affinitles Should
Marry

Burlington. j., Sept. s. State
and national marriage laws that will
prevent any but true affinities from
wedding were advocated at the open
ing session of convention of physi-
clans for the establishment of new
school for simplifeation Of medical
treatments at the auditorium here.
Fifteen states were represented by
physicians present.
The demand for stricter marriage
laws was voiced by DR.. G. G. Young,
Of Washington, N. J., author of
several medical works, in a discus
sion of prenatal medical treatment
to prevent mental deficiency. DR..
Young said there are over 1900.
600 mentally weak children in the
United States, the result principally,
he declared, Of disease and lima
ted, parents. Not only are laws re-
lquired that will prevent imbeciles
from intermarrying, his declared,
but greater attention should be paid
by the nation to the upbuilding Of
the race through proper mating.
I'VE can get much Of value from
the laws of ancient Greece in this
respect, ? said the physician. This
new society should stand for statutes
that require not only physical ex.
animation of prospective bridal cou.
pies, but there should be a still more
strict examination Of the compati.
bility of their respective tempera.
ments. When there is such a same
ness inthe temperaments Of parents
the tendency is always toward weak
deficient and short-lived children
Such a match is rarely happy fol
the parents themselves. There
should be opposites in the tempera
ment Of each to make a successful
love match. Modern science ant
romance can grasp hands over thu
marriage of true affinities.
Physicians promoting the new
school say their aim is definite medi
cation and the eliminating of th,
unjustified and useless in medica
practice. -Ex.

No. 735.-October Term. 1911
The Cherokee Nation and the United
States, Appellants. vs.. Moses Whit
mire, Trustet for the Freedmen of
the Cherokee Nation. Appeal from
the Court of Claims. (January 30,
1922.
Mr.. Justice McKenna delivered the
opinion of the Court.
This appeal is prosecuted to reviey
a supplemental decree of the Toult
of Claims enjoining and directing the
Secretary of the Interior to enroll up
on the final roll of the citizens of the
Cherokee Nation for allotment Of
lands the names of certain persons and
their descendants claiming rights as
Cherokee freedmen, whose names
were found upon the roll called the
Keln-Clifton roll, which the decree
adjudged was directed to be made b.
a former decree of the court. The
names of those persons. who are ap-
pelees in this case, after investigation
by the Secretary of the Interior YER.
found by him not entitled to be o.
rolled, and not entitled to participate
ia the distribution of tribal property.
The decision in United States *
rel Lille Lowe ct al. VS.. Fisher has
simplified the decision in this case. In
deed, the ultimate question in both is
the same, the power of congress over
the allotment of Indian lands and the
manner of ascertaining what persons
shall be entitled to them. There were
however, contentious made in that
case which are not made here. There
ate propositions Of law conceded III
this case which were contested i'll that.
Therefore brief summary of the elc
meuts necessary to decision is ap-
propriate.
Preceding the merits, however, mo
ton to dismiss the appeal must be dis
posed of. The motion is made on the
following grunds; G) The deeqee Of
February 8, 1896, was final decree
from which 10 appeal was prosecuted
to this court; (2) that the decree os
February 90, 1911, hereafter referred
to, was merely in the nature of an ex-
ecution of that of February 3, 1896,
and defined 10 new rights. but enfore

scented to; and 60 because, although
