LADY STOUT'S THEORY
THE VOTE AND THE BABY. FRANCHISE FILLS THE CRADLE. EXPOUNDED IN "THE TIMES." By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Rec. July 13, 0.50 a.m.) • London, July 12. Lady Stout, in a letter to "The Times" commenting on the increasing birth rate in New Zealand and Australia, declares that woman suffrage is the only means whereby the birth rate can be increased and infant mortality reduced. Throughout the decline of the birth rate from 18S0 to 1899 New Zealand and Australian women were affected by the wave of revolt throughout the world against the birth of unhealthy and undesired children. Now that they have had a voice in furthering legislation for the benefit of their children, all young married women desired children, and did their utmost by natural feeding to reduce infant mortality. With the improved conditions of life, thoughtful parents felt assured of the future of their children, and hence the birth rate was steadily, though not rapidly, increasing. Lady Stout quotes the improved birth rate of Victoria.
