STRICT MARRIAGE
® ARE URGED
Recorder Broyles Would Have
Georgia Require a Stringent
Physical Examination.
That race suicide Is too prevalent
among the rich and children entirely
too abundant among the poorer classes,
and that this condition Is serving to fill
the jails and penitentiaries, is the opin
ion of Recorder Nash Broyles. who
urges that the forthcoming legislature
should pass stringent laws governing
marriage.
Lack of proper restrictions on matri
mony, says Judge Broyles. Is one of our
greatest evils, for one thing, he de
clares. the failure to require a clean
bill of health from participants In wed
ded bliss Is causing an alarming spread
of disease throughout the country. Tu
berculosis and other contagious dis
eases flourish through the careless spir
it concerning marriage, he says, and as
a result thousands and thousands of
the Innocent offspring of infected par
ents are imperiled.
Judge Broyles assorts that the legis
lature could do no more humane thing
and could enact m more important leg
islation than to pas , a law’ compelling a
thorough physical examination of all
persons before marriage.
Sees Much Suffering.
"The marriage of persons Infected
with contagious diseases is one of the
great perils of the country today, and
It is high time that Georgia should do
her part In combatting it,” Bays the re
corder. "In my capacity as police
Judge, I have come in contact with so
much human suffering and misery that
I regard This matter as a burning prob,
lem.”
Judge Broyles also thinks it would
he an advantar- If a law could be
passed requiring a man to show that
he is amply able to support a wife and
children before he Is allowed to marry,
but says it would be difficult to carry
the regulations to this extent.
It was In this connection that the
recorder asserted that children are too
few among the wealthy and too abun
dant among the poor.
"Those people who are able to prop
erly care for children and educate them,
so as to develop them Into intelligent,
substantial citizens, are the ones who
should give to the world children in
great numbers I don't mean by this
solely millionaires, but the great mass
of people who are In good circum
stances and able to roar children.
Takes Issue With T. R.
‘T think there should be a consider
able let up among the very poor classes,
which, as every one knows, are so pro.
llfic in children. No parents should
want to bring children into the world
unless they are perfectly able to give
the children the proper training and
prepare them for usefulness and right
eousness. It's a mighty hard thing to
place a child here to grow up ignorant
and vicious and to have to almost fight
for its breath in the battle with the
world.
"It is this class of children, whose
.parents are unable to educate, train
and care for them, that are growing
up In the streets and in viciousness,
only to become criminals and undesir
able citizens. The Inability and failure
of parents to care for their offspring is
filling our Jails and penitentiaries and
furnishing victims for the gallows to
day. I am compelled to take issue with
Roosevelt on this race suicide propo
sition We want plenty of children, but
we also want them under the care of
parents who have the means of proper
ly rearing them.”
