MAGAZINE ARTICLE ON RACE SUICIDE
CONDEMNED BY ROOSEVELT

In letter to the editor cf the Re-
view OF Reviews, President Roosevelt,
takes exceptions TO some positions 10
an article enti,led 1.-The Doctor In the
Public Schools published in the
April number and reviews and en-
forces his views on race suicide.
This writer clearly states, says the
president, that it is an erroneous
idea to assume that the average family
should havea larger number OF healthy
children than the present birth rate
showed. The vital statistics OF state
like Massachusetts show that there
the average native American family OF
native American descent has SO few
children that the birth rate has fallen
below the death rate. This, OF course,
means race suicide, and it ought to be
understood that If after while there
are no children to go to school the
question Of their health in school
would not even be academic"
Continuing, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
1.-The greatest problem OF civilization
is 10 be found in the fact that the we'll
to-do families tend to die out. There
results in consequence tendency to
the elimination, instead of the SUR
viyal, of the fittest, and the moral at
titude which helps on this tendency lie,
OF course, strengthened when it il
apologized for and praised In maya
zine like yours.
Your people could still exist under
all Kinds OF iniquities in governments
under a dehased currency; under
official corruption; under the rule of .
socialistic proietariat, or a wealthy
oligarchy.
"All these things would be bad for rs
bus the country would still exist Blu
it could not continue 10 exist IL 1t pai(

RATIFIED BY SENATE
TREATY WITH SANTO DOMINGO
FINALLY APPROVED BY A
VOTE OF 43 TO 10.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The senate
at II :35 O'Clock p. m. in executive ses-
sion ratified the Santo Domingo
treaty, which provides for the assis.
lance Of the United States In the col
lection and application Of the Gus
toms revenues of the Dominican re-
public. The treaty was taken up at a
session beginning at 8:15 and the en-
tire time was devoted to opposition by
Democrats to the convention. The
vote was 43 to 10, which is n more
than the necessary two-thirds.
Senators Bacon, Daniel, Carmack,
Culberson and Newlands criticised the
policy involved as extremely unwise
and as creating a precedent that may
prove dangerous TO the country. Sena-
tor Bacon closed a long argument by
saying that he was weary OF the whole
subject and glad to get rid Of 1t. He
declared that the president for two
years had violated laws In that he
carried into effect without authority
of treaty, relations with a foreign
government which constitutionally
could not be enjoyed without sanction
of the senate.
