WOULD HALT
RACE SUICIDE
Mrs. Marshall, Of Concord,
N. H., Evolves Scheme for
Combating the Evil

Windrow Marshall Of Concord, N. H.,
is the high priestess OF the Anti-Race
Suicide cult. This informal organiza-
tlon Of the exponents Of the favorite
dogma OF President Roosevelt has
mapped out a course of procedure for
their welfare. which promises to COM
pletely exterminate the germ against
which the hero Of San Juan has been
speaking and preaching and arguing
and declaiming ever since he has been
the chief resident Of the White House
Mrs. Marshall has but recently re-
turned from a trip through Mexico and
has a campaign laid out which Is
bound to be winner, according to her
belief. Firmly of the conviction that
the country's future is imperilled, Mrs
Marshall has cast herself in the thick
est Of the fight against the despollo.
of the cradle and proposes TO fight the
invader TO a finish.
Her first move will be TO take
census Of every unmarried male adult
in United States who has passed his
25th year. When this has been ac-
complshed she believes that half her
battle has been won. From each Of
these she proposes to receive answers
TO queries as to why he never mar
ried, II and why he is opposed to mar
riage on general principles. and telling
the stumbling block to a life of united
bliss
Could Get Desired Information
Could Mrs. Marshall see these young
men In person. there is little II any
doubt that she would get replies to
her every question. She possesses a
magnetic and charming personality
which would make every young un-
married man in the country tell her
everything he could remember as to
his past, present and future.
In telling of her search for an an
tlote for the race suicide poison and
tho n'arg for Icy suHt. Mrs. Marshall
says
1T must not be understood that the
investigation have recently been max
ing into the conditions IN various parts
Of the country on the subject referred
to have been for the purpose of salts
flying an inordinate feminine curiosity.
Such an assumption is very wide of
the mark. You would not think this
to be the case were in position to
make public the names of men promin-.
ent i'm public and private life who are
among the prime movers in the pre-
liminary details connected with this
important census and who win con-
tinue actively associated in the work
until Il is completed and even after
ward. In due time the plans viii be
made public. and the names of those
interested in the movement will ap.
pear.
1T viii probably require II months
to complete the enumeration" con-
tinued Mrs Marshall, land IT IS not
probable that work can be commenced
before the close of the present year.
IL all depends upon what the census
reveals as to what our next step will
be.
Questions to Bachelors
"Only unmarried men who are past
the age Of % win be included. Re
plies to certain interroga tories will be
requested. These queries viii be ar
ranged so as to arrive at the desired
information in a most direct yet tact
ful manner.
"The defendant. or rather the per.
son, will be asked why. after arriving
at and past the marriageable age. he
has not taken to his bosom a partner
of his joys and sorrows. He will be
asked if he is opposed TO marriage on
general principles, and why. He will
be requested 10 name the obstacle. II
any. which he considers blocks his
path 20 matrimony. and many other
questions bearing directly upon the
important subject.
"In the average man there IS not
the realization Of present conditions
and the conditions toward which we
are drifting The high pressure under
which we are living In this age Is
largely responsible for the fact that
men are becoming indifferent to mat
rimony. This in its turn is responsible
for what we have termed emancina-
tion Of woman by woman and her in
dependence Of the sterner sex. which.
after all. IS only assumed.
"The reduction in the size OF fam
ilies is a condition which exists in
rural localities as well as in cities;
besides there is being observed
gradual moral softening OF the bone
and sinew' of the land as represented
by the product of the farmhouse
cradles.
"Unless something is done IN tho
matter within the next % years there
will be conditions, both moral and
ethical existing over the land horrible
to contemplate. The individual mind
must be reached and made TO realize
that this is a condition OF fact, not
theory. II IS hoped TO arrive at the
solution of the problem through the
agency of this census. which viii be
compiled according TO trades and
classes, and the leaders thereof viii
contribute largely toward the success
of the work.
