A WOman's Iuvestts ttons-Cond
 Foaud to Exist fin New York Ctsy-
 statements of Facts as They Are-Dt- ducti0ns Drawn.
 Mrs Lydia Kingsmill Commander dis cusses the question in the Indepenn- dent, Has the Small Family Become an American Ideal?" She presents a great array of facts gathered in New York city which would seem to decide the question affirmatively, if New York is to be considered as America. She says:
 ''Altogethe I visited 22 apartment houses, containing 54 children, or about one child to every nine families. Four landlords said: The only tenants I will accept are married couples without children
 "Of the 3S physicians who were will i ing to discuss the matter, I asked: What do you consider the ideal Amer ican family?' Thirty said, Two children "a boy and a girl. Six said, One child. One said, Having family is not an American ideal and one said Five or six The last, whose report varied SC entirely from every other, said she had ] not discovered any objection to family | on the part of Americans. But she qualified her statement by the expla- nation that her position was possibly exceptional, her practice being in the upper part of the Bronx among people who have moved to that locality be- cause their families were too large to I live comfortably in the more crowded parts of the city.
 "A female physician, who has kept exact records of cases, said: The desire | to limit or eliminate family is universal l Children are no more, or scarcely more l desired among the poor than among | the rich, though the poor are often less 1 successful in avoiding them. I am con- suited professionally in regard to this 1 every day
 Another woman doctor said: It is thoroughly American to restrict tht J population It is a mistake to suppose that the foreign people keep up the population rate after they come here Not to do so is one of the first things I they learn.
 "Dr, Shrady, while he deplores thu dalling birth rate among native Amer jeans, says: The Irish, the German: and the Italians go ahead and have children I therefore included among the physicians visited six practicing al most entirely among foreigners, and 0 the other six had considerable mum Der of foreigners among their patients
 Mrs. Commander adds: The only physicians who gave me reports of un restricted reproduction had patients among the ignorant poor or the reall, pauper class.
 "A physician with large practic, among the very poor said only the tene ment women who has no sense of re
 sponsibility and no care for her child ren after they are here, has children
 without regard to numbers.
 "Dr M., who has under her ear, about 200 families on the East Side
 New York, the majority of them Ger
 mans, Irish and English says: Al
 these families get occasional help
 some almost live on charity. There i
 no trace suicide" numerically speak ing, among these people. They are in

Overwhelmingly Republican.
MIR. Roosevelt has been elected by the larg-
est popular majority ever given candidate
for the Presidency and will,have more votes
in the electoral college than have ever been
secured by any president. He has also car
ried more States than have ever lined up on
one side.
The popular majority cannot yet be given
even approximately; the electoral vote will
probably be, Roosevelt 843; Parker 1888. Re-
publican States, SO; Democratic States, 10.
Seveveral things are visible to the naked
eye, One, this country stands for protec'

Mr.. Roosevelt's personal strength was. in.

factor of his party's success.
