MOTHER OF ELEVEN SCOFFS I
AT THE ROOSEVELTIAN IDEA
St. PAUL, Minn. ? This race suicide
talk, Mrs. T. Mainzer says, Is all bun
combe, and so far as the Roosevelt i
letters of commendation to parents of
large families go, she has one and is
ashamed of it. She is the mother of
eleven children.
"My husband would not have writ
ten 'o Roosevelt if he had not had a
pail of beer," Mrs. Mainzer continued.
"Besides, he didn't write himself; he
got a friend to write for him. And
Roosevelt didn't write the letter to
us. He only signed it. I begged my
husband not to write, and when the
letter came I threatened to put it in
the stove. I don't want anybody to
see it I don't want anybody to know
the former President wrote to us. I
am not proud of it."
Mrs. Mainzer plainly showed that tq
raise eleven children, do all the wash
ing and ironing, cook for a husband
besides, and meanwhile fight sickness
and ill health, is not all the dream of
Utopian bliss the former President
thinks.
"But you love all of your children,
don't you?" she was asked.
"Yes of course. But, I'm afraid I
couldn't' love any more," sh? replied.
"You don't think caring for a big
family is any picnic."
"No. Such picnics are all right for
the rich. Such things are not for the
poor people. I haven't time or
strength elher to properly care for
eleven, though I do the very best I
can.
"Race suicide talk is all right for
Uie amusement of people who haven't
anything to do but bother about other
people's troubles, but to cook and
bake and sew and wash and fight
ill-health and sometimes even poverty
with elevon on on's hands, is not
pleasure. It's work ? hard work. Ar.it
the hardest is not to be able to <lo
for the children what every mother
feels she should do ? dress them, edu
cate them, care for them as other
people's children arc* cared for. Too
many children Is something more
than a pretty theory. It's grief for
the mothers."
