And Child Marriage Say Foun
dalton for New Source OF
Vice and Crime.
ssy Assoe,a1eo pakss,

+ SAN FRANCISCO, July Con
ttrary to popular beliefs that early mar
r:aRes are particularly conductive &c
morality. G. L. Reddeld, OF Chicago
addressing the International Purity
Congress here today, declared thai
they were more conductive to tmmor-
rality.
The biographies Of the great men d
the world, particularly the moral anc
religious reformers, furnished evil
dence, he said, that great men were
the sons of old parents who had done
much work yConfucfus. who was born
when his father was III years OF age;
Buddha, whose mother was 45 when
he was born; Moses, whose three gen
CREATIONS of ancestors spanned he
years; and King David, who was the
son Of Jesse's old ago, and who be:
came the father OF Solomon when 81
years old, were some instances ne
cited.
In contrast, in this age, in this
country, he pointed to the widespread
practice Of marrying young-so young
that in many states bIEdegrooms in
knickerbockers and brides in shor'
dresses were even recognized by law
and said:
81 say to you, positively, that these
child marriages are laying sSAS 1O1tt1.
dations OF new sources Of vice and
crime. A campaign of education or
the question OF early marriages il
urgently needed.
Perhaps some of you think that t.
thus delay marriages would be tc
largely increase the Immortality
among the unmarried. Heretofore 70,
nave based your Judgment in suct
matters on common sense, but an
telling you now that there is a SOUND
scientific reason. heretofore oyer
looked why such marriages are an In
jury to the race The injury Is not to
those who marry, but to those who
come after them. The product of those
early marriages is the first step In the
production Of those forms Of vice
which we have upon our shoulders t.
eradicate.
81 am not asking that all marriages
be delayed to the age of % or 80
years. That may or may not come IN
the future when we know more than
we do now. but at present am ask
ing that we put a stop to the marriage
Of children stop to that kind OF
reproduction which breeds the men
