FINE PROGRESS IN THE LOCkS
CAMP AIGN.

The movement looking to the re-
moyal of the dam at the head OF Ba-
YOU Lafourche and the restoration OF
the navigable status Of that once I'M
portant and beautiful waterway mas
made most excellent and encouraging
progress during the past Weeh, ana

of money to pay for the construction
of the locks. This is not a. valid e&-

Wisconsin, Eueenic Law Invalid.


The Wisconsin eugenic law, which
provides for the issuance of marriage
D licenses only upon a certificate of a
clean bill of health, was declared I'm.
constitutional by Judge F. c. Esch,
weller, of the circuit court. The case
will go to the supreme court.
Judge Eschweiler held that the Ell.
genie law was of unreasonable statu-
tory limitations SO far as physicians
fees We're concerned, and that it was
an unreasonable and material impair
ment of the right of persons to en-
ter into matrimony.
The law is praised because of its
movement toward suppression of sex
uaI diseases, but is condemned be-
cause it's enforcement is impossible.
The court held that If the state
wishes to exercise its right for pre-
venting undesirables from marriage
it shorld weed out the unfit, and
thereby not cast upon the fit an I'M
fair demand and thus materially i'm
pair an ina1ienable right
