Race Suicide a Blessing.

out that not only are all wrong abou
the race-suicide problem but there
isn't any.

forefathers. they can claim no credit
for large families, for they eithel
gave no thought to the question al
all, or else welcomed children as ia
tu'e bread-winners.
Ito sum up he says, Il believe
that the evidence Is conclusive that
race suicide, so far as it has yet gone
has proved an almost unmixel bless
ing instead of curse that the race
can never again return to the method
of blind and wholesale reproduction
without Thoughts Of the future. No
class or group in the community
which believes itself worthy to exist
can of course view with equanimity
any proposal to limit the offspring OF
marriage to less than three, or such
number as may be necessary to se-
cure the survival OF that quota to
adult age, 80 that the second genera
ton may be 81 least q tribe more nn-
merous than the first.

racial duty and the most precious il
dividuai privilege the bearing of
children by those who are personally
fit to bear and financially competent
to rear such as will be of value to
the state. There is no achievement,

we may become sufficiently inteIli-

intelligent direction of race fertility,
BY selection of parents and rational
imitation of the number of children,
will be the path of future ogress."

themselves been developed

STOPPING YOUR PAPER

him Oh the street since then
and it is amusing to note the
look of surprise on the old
fellows face when he re- aliz
es that the editor is still in
existence, regardless of the
fact we are no longer getting
his $l.25.
| Some day, however-and it
will not be long--that old
gentleman Will turn up his
toes. His heart will be still
ed forever. There will be a
display Of pretty posies and
crepe and the neighbors and
friends will follow his lifeless
clay out to the Silent City
and lay it to rest in the deep
dark tomb.
An obituary will be pub
lished ia this paper, telling
what q kind husband, loving

loved citizen, and how pro-

time he will be forgotten.
