VIEWS ELOPEMENTS
WITH TOLERANCE
Stand of Brattleboro Ministers Com
mented Upon by Wilmington Man
Would Shorten Minority Age.

Editor of The Reformer:
recent issue of your paper informed .
its readers that the ministers of Brat
tleboro would endcavor, at the next ses-
sion of the legislature, to have the mar
riage laws OF Vermont altered with |
view to preventing, or at least making
more difficult, Opponents and clandes-
tine marriages.
We wonder if their ministers have
| considered the matter from the stand
point OF clipping couples. Are they
sure that this class OF marriages more
often result in disaster than do others?
Are elopements responsible for the
| great number of desertions and di-
Vorccs?
We suspect that the greatest charge
that can be sustained against marriages
of this character is the breaking or
ignoring the customs of society.
Doubtless, some of them prove INTEL
icitouS and unwise. This is true of all
types of marriage. But, an elopement
which springs from a love that leaves
The conventionalities of society and
opposition of parents promises a happy
and permanent union.
Darwin has recognized, what he
terms sexual selection as handspring
of progress in animals, and Prof. Hack
Ell does not hesitate to declare, on the
strength of his investigations, that the
progress of the human race in history
is, in great part, the result of sexual
selection. This is nature S eugenics
law. Since love is the highest form Of
sexual selection we may see in elope-
ments one of Nature 5 methods of race
r improvement.

for young lovers with intolerant and
unsympathetic parents.
The laws of the state hold the man

: Those who are seeking to reform oul

The state may refuse to solemnize

In such cases, and there would be
