RACE SUICIDE
STIRS PRESIDENT

In letter to the editor Of the Re-
view of Reviews President Roosevelt
takes exception TO certain statements
made by DR.. Cronin in an article on
"rhe Doctor in the Public school,"
published in the April number Of that
periodical, and takes occasion to re-
new his expressions on the subject Of
rae, suicide.
This writer states clearly" says the
President, that it is an erroneous idea
10 assume that the average American
family should have a larger number
Of healthy children than the present
Lirth rate shows. The vital statistics
Of a State like Massachusetts show
that there the average native Ameri-
can 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 IL
ought 40 ne understood that If af6cr
a While ther are no children to 90 10
school the question OF their health in
school would not even be academic"
Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt says:
"The writer's statement that physical
defects go hand i'm hand with a large
number of children. both in the ricn
and the poor, is simply rot true, as he
could tell at a glance by looking up
for instance. the fact that athletes are

families.
"All he has to do, II he doubts this,
Is to study the effects Of marriages
with heiresses by the British nobility.
The greatest problem of civilization
IS to be found in the fact that the
well-to-do families tend TO die out;
there results, i'm consequence a ten
dency TO the elimination. instead Of
the survival. of the fittest. and the
moral attitude which helps on this
tendency is, of course. strengthened
when it is apologized for and praised
in a magazine like yours.
"Our people could still exist under
all kinds of iniGuities in government;
under a debased currency, under Off
cial corruption, under the rule Of "A
socialistic proletariat, or a wealthy
oligarchy.
"All these things would be bad for
us. but the country would still exist.
But il could not continue to exist If it
paid heed to the expressed or implied
teachings Of such articles as this.
These teachings furnish excuses for
every unnatural prevention of child
bearing. for every form of gross and
shallow selhshness Of the kind that Is
really the deepest reflection on, the
deepest discredit to, American social
life"

On the Care of Shoes.

A mistake girls make is that Of not
sending their shoes away to be re-
paired as soon as they begin to show
signs Of needing it. If the shoes are
sent away the moment they begin to
show a tendency to run down at the
heels, they can be made to last longer
than If they are worn for any length
of time in this condition.
In order that your shoes may keep
their shape you should either have a
pair of shoe trees or else fill the toes

Harper said ne was taken into custody

The witness was told his father, John
Harper, who had been manager of the
Union store at Victor had been depoTted
to Canyon City. Young Harper and n
companion walked the thirty-five miles
to Canyon City and found the elder Har-
per there, his head cut and bleeding.
John Harper followed his son on the
stand and related his experiences dur
ing the strike period at length. The older
Harper was on the stand when the noon
recess was taken.
When court met after recess John Har-
per was on the stand. Mr.. Richardson
said that he desired to show by the wit
ness that the conditions existing at Victor
on June were representative of condi-
uOnS existing throughout the entire dis

that the first question asked him was
whether he was a member Of and intend

piled that he was a member and on that
he was Immediately "clapped in jail"
Mr. barrow at the conclusion of Hou-
tons examination announced that with
the exception of one or two witnesses who
would not take up much time and the
reading of the Bradley dispositions from
San Francisco and the testimony of G. H
Meyer and w. D. Haywood. the evidence
for the defense was all in. He asked that
an adjournment be taken until Monday
morning. The state agreed and an ad-

Judge Wood announced that he would
put counsel on both sides in notice before
the arguments, as to what the inStruc-

he thought would facilitate the prepara-

NEWS TO BROWNSON.
Rear Admiral Doesn't Know About
the Cruise.

Oyster Bay, y. Y, July 5.-Rear AdmI-
raj w. II. BrownsOn, who today lunched
with President Roosevelt stated on reach
ing Oyster Bay that he did not know
what ships would compose the fleet to go
to the Pacific and that all he knew of the
intended cruise was what he had seen in
the newspapers.
THE statement Of Secretary Metcalf
and that OF Secretary Loeb" he contin-
ued. indicate that a cruise may be made
somewhere at some time. but that is all
] know of the matter. Should the course
be taken to the Pacific / think its only
object would be to demonstrate how
quickly the voyage can be made, and for
no other purpose"
On leaving Sycamore hill the admiral
said the cruising plans Of the battleship
fleet were barely mentioned at the presi-
dents luncheon. The admiral said he
would like to emphasize the point that
there was no time more prOpitious to as
certain just what a battleship fleet could
do in making an extensive cruise than a
time OF profound peace such as prevailed
now, when he said, the United States has
not an enemy in the world.
