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.” WANT TEACHER AND NOT BALL COACH AS COLLEGE PRESIDENT MONTGOMERY, ALA .
