common law marriages were so at
flicted. IN some instances the parties
felt that the eugenic law was serious
infringement Of their personal liber-
ties and were married outside the state
to avoid It's provisions. In other COM
mon law marriage was resorted to by
perfectly healthy people, purely be-
cause OF the novelty OF the ceremony
and the knowledge that marriage of
this kind was fully binding to both
parties.

statistics compiled by many other
states and several foreign countries.
show that, extending over period of
time, there is marked decline in our
marriage rate. This factor must be
considered in making proper deduc-
tions from the figures presented. The
industrial depression, which has been
upon us for more than year, is also
responsible in large measure. Sta
tistics show that financial depression
seriously retards marriage in the same
way that it produces a decline in the
birth rate.
Thoughtful persons who know Of
the ravages of certain diseases will
agree that the actual number OF mar
riages occurring in the state in given
period of time is not nearly as impor-
tant to posterity as the general health
fulness of the contracting parties"

That the Big -Four, from Hagers-

greatly improved at an early date, is
prefigured with reasonable certainty
by movement just now on at Harri-
son, Ohio. Advices from Harrison
state that Alfred Bertenshaw, one of
the leading engineers of the New

and Blaine T. Hines, Of Palm Beach,
Florida, have taken apartments in a
Harrison hotel, and are preparing to
make a minute inspection of the line,
from Cincinnati to Hagerstown. These
men, all prominent in railroad circles,
are saying little about their inten'
tions, beyond the mere statement that
they will spend two or three weeks
looking over the road, preparatory to
a large and important program of Inn

Board.

MADISON, Wis, March 22.-The
Wisconsin eugenic marriage law. the
first of its kind in the world, has been,
In effect little over year, and the
results can be estimated The state
board of health has just reported that
one effect is a lessening Of the mum
Der OF marriage contracts. It appears
that about four thousand couples less
took the big jump in 1914 than in 1913.
In 1914, 17.245 ceremonials were re-
ported. and 81 law marriages were re-
corded. In the previous year there had
been 21.052 marriages.

The board of health does not believe
the eugenic law is entirely RESPONSE
Bile for the decline. It says:
On account of the great prevalence
Of certain diseases in the state, it is
only reasonable to expect that there
would be some decline in the number
OF marriages reported if the eugenic
law is properly enforced, on account of
the inability on the part of the pros
pective bridegroom who is afflicted
with either Of these diseases to OBJ
tain medical certificate. Undoubted-
ly some of the parties who are unable
to pass the required examination or
who suspected that they would not
pass went out of the state to be mar
ried, and in other cases common law
marriages were resorted to.

charge that all the bridegrooms who
went out Of the state to be married or
who evaded the law by contracting

property owners of modest means, was
the argument used mostly.
Repair Work Lost.
81 wish ! could get you people to
see that the city has been spending
each year, for number of years, from
$4,000 to $4,000 for street repairs,
said President Bavis. This is your
money, and it has been absolutely
wasted. In the interest of municipal
economy and for your own best in
terests we want as many streets per-
manently improved as possible. I am
frank to say that l stand for the paw
ing of your streets, but I do not know
what the two other board members
favor"
Henry Otte, a working man, express
ed his surprise that the board mem
bers and the majority of councilmen
who are workingn1en, should support
a permanent street improvement pol
icy at this time.
Paved streets don't improve the
value of our properties, and property
values are steadily decreasing. On the
other hand, taxes and living expenses
are steadily increasing, and for many
the poorhouse is a prospect" Mr.. Otte
said. "It is poor policy for working
man to own property in this city. We
people who own property on South \
street are satisfied with it. We have
not petitioned for it to be paved. il
the city is so broke, however, that ii
can not afford to repair the street,
will be one man to pay my share OF
having such repairs made"
Policy Demands Streets.
II understand perfectly what situa
ton confronts the working man. I am
one myself" replied Mr.. Bavis. THE
arguments you have advanced are
sound, but public policy demands bet
ter streets"
DR.. f. W. Kruger urged that the
plan for the paving OF South A street
be postponed for year or two. Then
he thought, the property owners would
be ready for permanent improvement
G. B. Hunt asserted that the reason
South A street was in bad condition
was because the last administration
provided only two-inch macadam sur
face where the street was re-made.
