Letter from William Burgess to Theodore Roosevelt

William Burgess reviews and commends Theodore Roosevelt’s arguments in his article “Race Decadence.” However, Roosevelt fails to consider that “willful sterility” is only a minor reason for marital sterility. Sexually transmitted diseases account for the majority of sterile marriages. Therefore, the real focus should be on the consequences of “vice.”
