Aau for His Auto

A Philadelphian who has country
house near his home city recently ac-
quired an automobile. For its proper
accommodation he built barn near his
house. When the structure was COM
pleted a party of friends invited to in
spect it noticed that though quite small
the barn was a two story building. They
wanted to know what he intended to
keep in the second story. The owners
explanation didn't explain, but his wife
revealed the reason for the second
story. You see she said, the second
story was intended for a hay loft, and
it was not until the thing was built
that either Henry or 1 realized that an
automobile doesn't eat hay"

HNGGQANT CHILDREN Of
RARENTS DETAINED 1T ELLZS lS2AYQ
BULLETIN lately published by

A BULLETIN lately published by
n the census bureau, entitled Pro
portion of Children in the United
States" has brought President Roose-
Velts theory of race suicide once more
to the fore and caused no end of dis
cussion. This bulletin, though it does
not attempt to compute the birth rate
in this country, does give the propor-
ton of children to adults at various
periods in the country's history.
1t shows that the decrease in the
proportion of children born to native
white women is confined to the large
cities. 1t also bears out General
Francis A. Walkers statement that
this decline in largely due to the influx
of foreigners and the resultant shock
to the population instincts of the ma
tives.
General Walker says: "As the for
eigners began to come in larger num-
bers the native population more and
more withheld their own increase.
"Now, this correspondence might he
accounted for in three different ways.
First-It might be said that it was II.
mere coincidence, no relation of cause
and effect existing between the two
phenomena. Second-It might be said
that the foreigners came because the
native population was relatively de-
clining-that is, failing to keep up its
pristine rate of increase. Third-It
might be said that the growth of the
native population was checked by the
incoming of the foreign elements in
such large numbers
"The true explanation of the re-
narkable fact we are considering I
believe to be the last of the three
suggested"
The commissioner of immigration.
Robert Watchorn, while refuting III
part General Walkers statement, ad-
nits that if there had not been i'm
migration the native population would
perhaps have increased more rapidly,
but he says:
Let the alarmists who are crying
out against immigration ponder this
one truth. At the time of Washing
tens inauguration nineteen per cent
OF the population of the United States
were negroes. At the taking of the
last census we had reduced the per-
centage to twelve.
Quality, Not Quantity, Wanted
"Now, here is my point:-Tn more
than a century, during which period
we have admitted twenty-six million
Iuropean whites, who in their turn
have been the most prolific populators
of our country, we have only sue
ceeded in reducing the percentage of
negroes from nineteen to twelve per
cent. do not believe in excessive
and rerestricted immigration. l be-
Neve In quality, not in quantity"
Among the many causes set forth as
explanations of this alarming decrease

For Araminta smiles on me.
That's true, but then

I'm only one of nine or ten.
There's Simpson, Johnson, Jenkins, Green
And Porter wilkins, Tubbs and Dean,
She doesn't frown
On Smith or Brown,
And that's what mitigates my glee
When Araminta smiles on me.
She gave to me
A lock of hair, which youH agree
Appears as If she favored me-
But then who knows?
She gave to Robinson rose
And there are others, l suppose.
A glove l know young Simpson owns;
Her photograph she gave to Jones.
To Brown she wrote
A perfumed note.
So l don't prize that lock, you see,
That Araminta gave to me.

in the birth rate which it is contended,
will soon place us as a nation on a
plane with childless France, one cause
seemed to contain the giSt of the mat
ter, as far as the native born citizens
were concerned. The great increase
in the use of things which were form
erly considered as luXuries, but which
now have become almost necessities.
The greater temptations to eXpendi .
lures for the purpose of securing or
maintaining social positions and the
correspondingly greater cost of family
life in what may be called the lower
middle classes lead to the desire to
have fewer children in order that they
may be each better provided for, or
perhaps, in some cases, from the pure
ly selfish motive of desire to avoid care
and trouble and of having more TO
spend on social pleasures.
I'm the struggle for what is deemed
a desirable mode of existence at the
desirable and its bonds less sacred
than they We're forty years ago. Young
women are being gradually imhued
with the idea that marriage and moth
erhood are not to be their chief OBJ
jects in life or the sole methods of OBJ
tanning subsistence; that they should
aim at being independent If possible of
actual husbands and should fit them
selves to earn their own living in some
one of the many ways in which fe-
males are beginning to find increasing
sources of rcmuneratiVe employment:
that housekeeping is a sort of domestic
slavery, and that it is best to remain
unmarried until some one offers who
has the means to crafty their edu-
Gated tastes. They desire to take a
more active part than women have
hitherto done in the mana cement OF
the affairs of the community, to have
wider interests and to live broader
lives than their mothers and grand
mothers have done"
On Women's Shoulders
This cause places the blame on wo-
mems shoulders. To a certain extent
this is justifable. Women's sphere
has so broadened of late years,
through an economic evolution, for
which she should not bear the whole
brunt, that she is not willing to marry
to become a household drudge, an
overworked mother or her husbands
handmaiden.
In this disinclinatlon to have large
families she is aided and abetted by
the man. The average artisan, clerk,
professional, merchant-in fact, the
man in the higher and middle walks
of life, perfers not to have a large
family for the reason that he feels
he cannot do justice to more than a
limited number of children.
Again, it is contended that high
degree of civilization tends to de-
crease in the birth rate. This is one

of the native element is only a matter
of time.
"There is another closely associated
economic cause of the annihilatton of
the native stock There are certain
classes of the population that may be
said to be the main population pro-
ducing classes. 1t is a well established
fact that the wealthiest class in most
countries is continually dying out
that is, the birth rate is so low that
were not for accesaions to that class
from other classes in the community
it would disappear.
"Our philanthropic institutions are
segregating the feeble minded in order
to prevent propagation. This is OBJ
serving the necessity for exercising
some selection, when it is possible, as
to the kind of children that shall be
born The fathers and mothers Of
American children can be chosen, and
it is in the power of congress to decide
upon what merits. BY wise regulation
of immigration selection can be eXer-
cised so as to increase the number of
strong minded children, as it used to
be in former instances to decrease the
number of feeble minded children"

The Society Woman's Life Physically
Incapacitates Her Being "0'ne'
of Large Family.
BY A PHYSICIAN

Il L
One of the visiting staff of the larg-
est maternity hospitals in New YORK
citv whose private practice is among
members of the -Four Hundred, set
forth some startling reasons for the
decline in the birth rate among tne
very wealthy. In substance he sald'
"There are two cogent reasons FOR the
smaller number of children among the
verv wealthy. One Is the result of the
strenuous life led by our society women.
A woman in the social swim to-day
works harder than any working woman.
Her life saps her vitality and nervous
energy and makes child bearing almost
a physical impossibility.
.'The second is the desire among the
financial giants to keep their large tor-
tunes as intact as possible. There Is
no law here, as in England, giving the
hulk of the estate to the Oldest son,
thus handing from generation to gen
Grafton a practically undivided estate,
!f a man of many millions has large
family. that fortune dwindles consid-
erably when divided among number
of heirs.
II am not giving you my opinion on
the present condition of few children
among the wealthy. You asked me for
the reasons for such an existing con-
dition, and from my experience and de-
ductions l am telling you. 1t is amonS
the wealthy class physical and So
cial outcome of the conditions and en-
vironment in which they live.'

IT find that within the last few years

The Birth Rate Decreasing Among the
Jewish Workingmen, but Not Among
the Business Men.
BY DAVID BLAUsTEIN,

anCe.
among the immigrant Jews the
birth rate is somewhat decreasing
among the poorer working people and
not at all among the petty business
men. 1t is not question of a desire
for more luxutry or the frills of life.
but an uncertainty as to their future
ability to properly care for number OF
children. The poorer class of Jews
make better wages here in America,
but they do not, in a certain sense,
live any better. This is due possibly
to the greater expense of living in
America, especially in New York ana
other large cities. This uncertainty as
to the future and the dread of becom-
ing a burden on the community have
developed the fear of a large number
of children, in consequence of which
we find fewer children as the younger
generation grows up and marries.
''The business man seems to be more
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-22

hopeful and also more religious. The
worl1ingman having no economic hopes
grows less religious, while the busi-
ness man. feeling more certain about
the future, does not violate the bib
lical mandate, BE fruitful and multi
ply
ut is my opinion that the working
men do not withhold their own IN
crease because, as it was said, luxuries
of their desire for social position. 1t -
because of the uncertainty as to their
being able to provide for large fam
ily."
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-22

reason given for the present decrease
in the birth rate in France. In our
own country you will find men of let
ters and science when married the
fathers of few children. You will find
men of great wealth and luxurious
living fathers of small families. You
will go down into the byways and
alleys of the slums and foreign quar-
ters, where men and women are ignor-
ant of even the three RS" and you
will find large families. And as the
children of the slums are educated
and their material conditions benefited
you will find them in their turn the
fathers and mothers of fewer children;
and so the social evolution continues,
and the problem remains in spite OF
census and experts practically H.
status quo.

Bisbee daily review., 1905-05-14

In the court of Justice Murphy yes terday afternoon the charge or assault against Roy Raison was dismissed. The complainant, Mrs. Flood, failed to appear. Motion to dismiss was made by her attorneys, Williams & Bennett. Raison, who was present, was represented by Attorney O'Con- nell.
 A sensational feature in connection with the case that did not come out in court is carried in a written con fession, witnessed by two people. which Raison is showing. The con fession is by Mrs. Flood, and in it she declares that the charge she filed against Raison was wholly false. The sensational point is the declaration that she was induced while angry to make the charge by lawyers"
 In court yesterday it developed that the woman had, on the oay before, been paid S30 by Raison. This state ment was made by her attorneys and not denied by Raison. The supposi- ton is that the money was paid in part settlement of a debt of $70 al legged due by Mrs. Flood from Raison she claiming that he had borrowed that amount from her to mzKe pur- chase of a ring. About the latter the recent trouble arose. When the wom- an first appeared before Justice Mur- phy to make complaint agalE5: Raj son she wanted 10 file a charge of grand larceny. alleging that RaisOn had taken the ring from her. Raj son claimed that she had given him the ring. The justice informed her. on ascertaining that the ring had been purchased by Raison, that she could not bring a larceny charge. as the property belonged to the man, though purchased with her money. Mrs. Flood then consulted her attor- neys, with the result that the assault charge was filed. Mrs Flood is 2 sister of the Mrs. Woods, who was re- gently the cause of shooting sc-ape at Douglas.
 The way matters now stand Mrs. F1~od ie said to be liable to arrest and possible trouble before the grand 1ury TOT perjury. she having male oath to the charge of assault filed with Justice Murphy, which she. now declares in the confession held by RaisOn, to have been false. Neither can the attorneys for Mrs. Flood nor Raison be said to be entirely out of range of trouble.
