REVISE LAWS OF MARRIAGE
Dr. Tucker Advocates Action by
Legislature in Remedial
Laws.
Trope, training of Cie young on a
sclentlfle basis, with reform in the
marriage laws to as to reduce the
number ul di f? ctive children, are the
remedies of tin; future for re-iuclng
crime, in Iii?' judgment of L>i. Beverly
11. Tucker. The subject, with references
|g events of the recent p-'st in Kich
saond. is iliscussd in a letter to Rev. j
H. X>. C. Machluehlan. of the Seventh
Street Christian Church . i>r. Tucker,
?who is consulting physician to the
Juvenile Protective Association of
Virginia, writes as follows:
Bui fen neo-gle realise the problem
teeing the Juvenile Protective Asso?
ciation In Virginia. They know but
little of t??o good ?ork being- done by
this association and less *>f the tre- f
in-;idous handicap under which this!
association works, due chiefly to thei
fact that the State has not thus far I
tna?ie proper provision for the young I
and unfortunate criminal class. If;
the legislators could but realise thei
great eienomy i:i providing for andj
Braining these children theff would:
not hesitate t?> appropriate money forj
Industrial schools and reformatories,
as these children grow t,?> form the
adult criminal class ??i the state and;
become ,Mi enormous expense. Their
sdult court trials alone during, let,
us ^a^. a period of ten years would''
probably buil?i. equip and maintain sev?
eral Juvenile Institutions. These erim- j
inals and degenerates cost the State!
in many other ways. They overcrowd;
the almshouses, the jails, the ptni-!
tcntitry and insane a?>lums.
Beg-In \t ifb Iiirth. !
1 have not the ti:n<' and space In |
this lett? r to detail some .?f the ad?
vantages juvenile institutions. Here
J shall <>nly say that proper training
a'id education usually changes a Use?
less, feeble minded !?<?>? <?r girl into
a self-sustaining citizen, and a child
with immoral and criminal tendencies
?nto aui adult i uffk^cntly sclf-con
irolled t?-? keep from becoming a
criminal burden to the State.
One thing about these children has.
until recently, hardly been appreci?
ated, and that is the majority of them
are physically and mentally defective
from birth and it is to this medical
aspect toward crime that I wish brief?
ly to call attention.
To limit the birth of defective
children it is necessary to make con?
siderable ?-hange in our marriage laws.
Among these changes should be the
prohibition o?- marriage of criminals,
moral degenerates, adiots. fe< ble-minded
and insane persans, chronic alcoholics,
people who are debilitated "?>y consti?
tutional disease, such as Bright's dis?
ease and the incurable forms of tuber?
culosis, afflicted persons. as deaf
mutes, and people infecud with ven?
ereal disease. A law of this kind will
be so beneliclal that the good results
in a few generations can hardly be
appreciate'!. We would have a hardier
race, a race who: ?? mental capabilities
would be <?n a far higher average than
at present and a race in whom pau?
perism, crime, immorality and insanity
"would be fast disapp? ar:ng. Can we
Imagine a more humane and philan?
thropic procedure" More pointedly
even than this, ean we realize our
crime in neglecting to make reason?
able efforts to obtain, such wonderful
results?
ladaraees of Heredity.
The taint of a bad heredity can
hardly be appreciated. With its
stealthy Hiphtlnir hand It stigmatizes
the human race for g-neration after
generatlo'i, fii'-ling Its way into every
class of srclety, sapping the life bloo<i
ef nations and putting a burden upon
the fit which they are hardly able to
carry. Th" whole human race Is more

related. Many families have been in?
vestigated, in which there have oc?
curred hundreds of defectives who
have been absolutely dependent uponi
municipal support lther as paupers'
or criminals, and who have cost the
State millions of dollars In a few gen?
erations.
After doing what wc can to Im- j
prove heredity, it next behooves u?j
t'> pay attention to the newborn babe, j
Many criminals and degenerates come j
from illegitimate children, foundlings i
and children of bad parentage. These j
l>aLies should be housed and raised Inj
the r'oper institutions for babies and j
roui g children and then transferred i
t" an industrial school. Every one j
(if th<-s" babies, whether of known or j
unknown parentage, should be adopted
by the State and continue wards of I
the State until they are self-sustain- j
ins and have developed character/
enough to be at large. Even after]
they leave the State institutions track -
should be kept of them and, when?
ever necessary, assistance given them.
If thin plan ?f municipal and State
control of all children of bad parent
age was universal we would have a
much .-?maller criminal and degen-j
erste class to deal with.
Study of ( hlWrcn.
The next problem which faces us is
tho handling and care of the criminal!
and degenerate youth between the!
ages of six and eighteen. It is with j
these children that the Juvenile Court j
has chiefly to deal. Th's class in-|
eludes the young vagrant, the younii,
pickpocket, thief and burglar, the j
young moral df generate and prostitute,
and the bad boy and girl generally, j
The papers have been full recently of,
most horrible crimes against society'
committed right in our own capital^
city of Richmond. It is not that these j
cases ere new to this community, al- j
though 1 believe certain modern ideas
and extravagance, such as a desire for
the excitement of cheap shows, for
silk stockings and other finery and
for automobile joy-rides have ln
f creased this class. I have examined
j many of these cases from a mental i
Mud physical standpoint. They range!
from simple willfulness to the most
horrible and publicly unmentionable!
I degeneracy. One fact which has I
j struck me very forcibly is this, that as
[ a rule the more atrocious the offense
I the greater the mental and physical
j stigma of these children. In other
j words, the lower types show unmistak?
able evidence of hereditary feeble?
mindedness or disease. Where the
family histories have been obtainable
we have been able to confirm the fact |
that this stigma In the young showed
alcoholism. Insanity, syphilis, etc., in i
the parents.
Must be Graded.
Modern methods of mental and phy?
sical examination enable us to tell
fairly accurately the degree of this
i degeneracy and the degree of the
moral response illty of the child. For
j Instance, if a child three or four years
I old was to take something that did not
I belong to it, or commit some other
I unbecoming act. It wouid not be held
morally responsible and no one would
think anything particularly of It. If.
however, a child ten or twelve years
"f age were to commit the same act
we would feel that the child was
committing a crime.
Now. suppose the cblM of ten or
twelve had only the mental and moral
<!rveiopment of a child of three or
four, should we hold it iny mar? re
?ponslble than we would an infant'
There la but one answer?no. By ehr
? tain examinations we can grade chil?
dren according to their mental an?!
moral age. and can say although this,
child is eight years old. really It la
only four years old dn responsibility j
and Intelligence. In consequence of ail
this we have then a large class of!
children who-are fast becoming crim-j
inals of the deepest dye, but who are I
not legally responsible for their I
deeds, and another class, "who, al- j
though Intelligent, by improper en- I
vironment and without moral Ideal?. J
sre going in the same direction.!
These two classes need entirely dif- I
feren^ Instltu Msg* for thelf care
and training, and we are *t present. !
with such facilities as we have, en- !
tlTely unable to cope with the sltua- '
tion. There is one striking example
I might mention. We had recently a >
colored girl, aged twelve. In the Juve- :
rii'e Court, who had repeatedly been:
arrested for theft, and who had to be .
sent to an industrial school outside of
the State because Virginia provides
absolutely no place fo rthe training)
antl care-taking of colored girls of the j
criminal and immoral class.
The pulpit Is taking this matter up.
the press Is aiding us materially, and
We hope to call attention of every
person of standing in Virginia to the
crying need of money to carry on
this work?the work of preventing
crime, the work, of elevating the moral
and mental tendencies of our people
and the work of care-taking of the;
young unfortunate. We hope the |
next Legislature will give us a large '
appropriation, we hope that churches
and religious organizations of all I
creeds and denominations will contri- I
bute to this purpose and wo hope
that public-spirited people of every j
class will come forward and make j
donations. For those who love their
State no better Investment for herj
future could be made. j

the Roanoke convention.
Elsewhere in the State the amount Of
work being done for the party Is not
great, the outcome in Virginia being
assured. Candidates for presidential

court days. In order to secure as large
a party cote as possible. There Is
plenty of Woodrow Wilson sentiment
everywhere, and the Democrats are

plenty of campaign literature at his
eiisposal and is using a good deal of It.
He la bombarded with bureau corre?
spondence. One of the letters from a
bureau a few days ago asked for a
list of prominent Democrats who will
vote- for Theodore it >osevelt and also
of prominent Independents who will
vote for Wilson. As may be imagined,
the list of Democrats who will vote
for Roosevelt was so short as to be
indistinguishable, while aa t> the other
side of the question, Chairman Ellyson
replied that there are practically no
independents in Virginia.
Signs are not wanting that the Dem?
ocratic National Committee will cell
on several well-known Virginians for
campaign tours.
Organization of clubs, under the di?
rection of Richard Evelyn Byrd, la

now have at least one club. Some
funds are being raised in this way for
campaign purposee, and the regular
meetings serve to keep op the interest.
