Postmarked 1911. Good.
Race suicide was an alarmist eugenicist theory, the term being coined in 1900 by the sociologist Edward A. Ross and promoted by folks like Harry J. Haiselden. Racial suicide rhetoric suggested a differential birth rate between native-born Protestant and immigrant Catholic women, or more generally between the "fit" or "best" (white, wealthy, educated Protestants), and the "unfit" or "undesirable" (poor, uneducated, criminals, diseased, mental and physical "defectives," and ethnic, racial, and religious minorities), such that the "fit" group would ultimately dwindle to the point of extinction.
