No Race Suicide
In u. S.. She Says
Mrs. Laidlaw Declares Booth
Daughters Charges Are
INSANE.

NEW YORK. July 22-'Every pam
derer to the vices Of mankind will be
delighted with the statement Of Mrs
Catharine Booth -Clibborn that the
white slave traffic is due chiefly to
what she calls womans denial Of
motherhood.
This was the statement made by Mrs.
James Lees Laidlaw. the suffrage lead
er. Mrs. Booth-Clbborn. who is the
daughter OF the Salvation Army found
er. Gen. William Booth. made the
charge at the Worlds Purity Congress.
in San Francisco. that society in the
last thirty years had developed a vast
army Of women who will not be
mothers. who gamble. smoke. become
policewomen. and soldiers. back horses,
and do everything else but bear chill
dren.
such expressions are outrageous"
declared Mrs. Laidlaw. TT is little
short Of criminal that Mrs. Booth
Clibborn. whose work brings her in
touch with life, should be so lacking
in knowledge concerning the man
made white slave system. Twenty-Five
thousand young women. most OF them
under eighteen, are yearly recruited for
this traffic to take the places of Others
who die.
Not one-sixteenth Of the families Of
this country are financially able to en-
ploy one servant. What proportion Of
this number does Mrs. Booth -Clibborn
think are able to indulge in those vices
Of which she speaks? There are more
than 5000 600 women In industry. What
proportion OF these women does Mrs.
clibborn think could squeeze enough
out of their meager wages to back
horses Finally. what evidence is there
OF race suicide? The newspapers have
just reported the birth of the fifth and
sixth children in families of two or our
multi-millionaires.
The fact that economic pressure
causes many conscientious young peo-
pie to refrain from having children is
not an evidence of race suicide, but
Indicates desire for race betterment
Mrs. Booth-Clibborn does not have a
single fact as basis Of her unsane. alb
normal. and unreliable views"
