RECOMMENDS NEWSPAPER
Retiring Warden at Waupun Urges
that Inmates be Allowed to En-
ter Publishing Business.

Madison. That inmates of the state
penitentiary be allowed to subscribe
to newspapers, is one of the recon-
mendations made by the Rev. Daniel
Woodward. retiring warden, in his BIZ
ennial report, copies of which have
been received by members of the state
board of control
The report recommends that the
warden be authorized to select a doz-
en- standard daily newspapers of Wis
consin, Chicago and Minneapolis, per-
hitting inmates who cared to do so to
subscribe for them. His plan would
be for the warden or some official to
censor the papers.
Mr.. Woodward also strongly urges
that a prison newspaper be published
covering about the same field as that
of other prison publications. He thinks
it would be of great value as a me-
dunn for exchange of ideas and good
training or inmates.
An extension of the honor system
to SO per cent of the men is also one
of the recommendations of the retir-
ing warden. AS to legislation he
thinks advisable, Mr.. Woodward rec
ommends the good time law, indeter-
inmate sentence, and habitual criminal
law.
1.-THE prison farm" the report says,
sis paying investment for the state,
and at the same time furnishes to
some of our inmates the very best
employment We have farm Of three
hundred acres located one mile from
the institution and just outside the
city limits of Waupun.

MARRIAGES SHOW DECLINE
"Eugenic" Grooms Drop Under. New
Law From 21,052 in 1918 to
f7,245 in 1914.

Madison.-Under the eugenic mar
riage law thes number of weddings in
Wisconsin, eIined from 21,052 to 1913
to Il, 245 i'll Ia drop of 1897, nearly
20 per cent Els
FiguTe k foE4t He last ten years have
been compiled by DR.. C. A. Harper,
secretary-of the state board of health
and vital statistics, to present to the
legislature in considering the new eu-
genie marriage law.
DR.. Harper, who is an advocate Of
the law, does not believe that the de-
cline can be attributed solely to the
law but that the general commercial
depression must be taken into con-
sheraton
"The charge is made quite generally
throughout the state that the enforce
ment of the so-called eugenics mar
riage law is responsible in large
measure for the decline in the number
of marriages. This charge, we believe,
is not wholly justified. On account Of
the great prevalence of venereal dis
ease in the state it is only reasonable
to expect that there would be some de-
cline in marriages on account of the
inability on the part of the prospective
groom, who is afflicted with disease,
in obtaining medical certificate. I'm
doubtedly, some of the parties who
were unable to pass the required ex-
animation or who suspected that they
could not pass the examination, went
out of the state to be married, and in
other cases the common law marriage
was resorted to.

sound of the shot would act as an
alarm, fed into the woods.
Col. L. M. Brett, superintendent

taken from the tourists. Names of
the victims had not been obtained.
