The Wisconsin eugenic marriage
law, which goes into effect January l,
and which has created a statewide
( discussion for several weeks, received
a severe jolt last week when Horace
B. Walmsley, an attorney, came forth
with a statement that a marriage
ceremony in Wisconsin was unneces-
sary,. and therefore the eugenic meas
ure was useless. "All that, is re-
quired in this state is that two per-
sons who are not married at the time,
agree TO accept each other as mates"
Mr.. Walmsley said. @No service is
necessary and the physical examina-
ton required by the new law cannot
be enforced" The contention OF Mr.
Walmsley is based on a decision Of
the state supreme court OF April S,
1913. The decision says that any man
or woman not married at the time
may make a legal and valid contract
Of marriage without any license, med
ical examination, priest, clergyman or
magistrate. All that is required is
that TWO persons agree TO take each
other as man and wife and begin 10
live. together as such. No written
statement nor witnesses are required, 4
but the court suggested that for the
benefit Of both parties it would be
well to sign an agreement as follows: I
"The persons who have signed this F.
paper on this day take each other for 4
husband and WIFE, being then in the 1
state Of Wisconsin, and they begin TO .
live together as husband and wife"
The court also suggested that there
be duplicate copies of the agreement
so that both parties may be supplied.
Then if either party wishes the paper
to be made a record with the register
of deeds, all that is necessary is TO
have two witnesses sign It, pay a no
tary public % cents and the whole
thing is accomplished, despite the law
requiring licenses, physical examina-
tons and elergymen. This discovery
has thrown the eugenic supporters in
to state Of uncertainty. They are
beginning 10 feel that the law is
useless The opponents Of the law
are happy, and now everyone is await
ing the new year to see just what
will happen.
