MUCK RAKE SPEECH.
Believed that it Meant More than was
Actually Expressed.

Chicago, April l6.-The muck
rake" speech of President Roose-
welt was discussed yesterday by
DR.. Emil c. Hirsch in his lecture
at Sinai Temple. He interpreted
it as an expression of the presi-
dents belief or feeling that the
emotional exponents of the gospel
of unrest are likely to rush the
country into the vortex of the
greatest OF the worlds revolutions
unless a halt is called"
What the humanitarians, phil
osophers and sooiologists are So
licitous about today is not that
revolution shall come, but the
form it may take" said DIR Hirsch.
rs it to be revolution or evolu-
tion2 Is it to be a violent up
heaval that may have the imme-
diate effect of setting back the
cause OF progress, temporarily at
leastr Or will it be a peaceable
change from industrial Individual
ism to industrial co-operations
Those are the questions upon the
answers to which will depend to
a large degree the progress and
prosperity of the American gen.
erations of the near future.
That, take it, is the thought
that inspired the great address of
President Roosevelt yesterday
in Washington. He interprets
Alright the signs OF the times.
He sees ahead for his beloved
country the vision of a revolution
infinitely more far-reaching than
any that the world has ever
known
But let there be no mistake
about the presidents meaning.
To me it seems clear that his
warning against what may be
called 'extremism' is directed as
much to tie rich or so, called cap
italistic class as to the critics on
the incesssnt quest with the NAL
odorous aid unsightly rake.
The crying injnstice of the in
dividualistic philosophy is in its
pretense to pay labor for its de-
votion of lifetime with a mere
subsistence, for labor in its prime
and the poor house in old age.
If it be socialism to say that the
true industrial cure is co-opera-
ton, then let US have socialism.
The true and just course for en-
ployers aud capitalists is to con-
slider wealth not possession, but
astewardship."s-Associated Press

Skinner, why all countries are
making such a scramble for open
ports for their surplus and how it
comes they have SO much surplus
in the way of food products, we
lay aside other products. as the
food seems to be the one at issue
and the one most necessary to
sustaining life.
! have contended for many
years that all ports should be
opened to their people first, then
if there be any surplus, export the
same. What do you think would
happen if the ports of the United
States were open to its starving
producers? Is it not under con-
sumption. rather than over pro-
duction? Bursting bins and a
mass of starving producers. Our
products piled up by spectators
TO desperate waste. The farmers
have been asleep 10, these many
years. not aware that their pro-
ducts were being controlled by
the circulating medium of ex-
change. The life blood of the
nation now in the hands of the
few. makes them slaves to the
paltry few. and the worst kind of
slaves. not even owning them
selves let alone their farms, which
they suppose they own. Their
product being controlled, they
themselves are controlled, being
driven by the lash of want and
starvation to hard labor sixteen

ers or homeless entirely. We are
not reckoped with the domestic
beast or animal that has cost its
master good money, we teed and
doctor them, but the human
slave when ridden to death is
kicked out of the way and another
substituted. They pay them
barely enough to feed and clothe
them while in use and when not
needed they can starve in sight
of that which they have produced.
This they call over production
and seek foreign market.
Ignorance is the worst enemy
we have to contend with. Awaken
the people or educate them to
their own class interests and
strength and this system of keep
what you get and get more when
you can" would cease at once.
Generations of parasites have
wallowed in the product of others

matters were coming to a focus
and revolution was at our door.
The question that confronts all
posted men and women is this, is
it going to be peaceable one or
bloody one7 History proves
that since the civil war the United
States government has been a
government of the rich, by the
rich and for tho rich. The voice

FACTS VS.. FICTION.
A. Morrell takes q Shot at W. E. Skin
ser, Secretary Of the American Re-
ciprocal Tariff League.

Recently our friend A. Morrell,
received a circular from the or
ganization mentioned above, re-
questing him to write his mem
Der of congress asking for assist
ance to broaden the foreign mar
ket for our products. Mr.. Nor
rell is too we'll posted to extend
the service asked for, recognizing
its selfish character, and further,
fully comprehending that it is a
move solely in the interest of
those who have, by skilltul fnan
cial manipulation, did so much to
make actual farming and stock
raising unproductive. His letter
in reply is given space in the hope
that it may star, more people to
thinking. THIS editor only cares
to say that one sentence in the
circular calls for a remark that we

THE MODERN FARM.

There must be system on the
farm. There must be bright intel
ligence and up-tO-datel knowledge
on the farm. There are these things
on many farms, and therefor there
are many farmers who are waxing
prosperous. The most intelligent
farmer, other things including in
dustry, being equal, is as a rule
the most prosperous farmer, in
this age when farming is pursued
on the principles which identify
it on the one side with science and
on the other side with business
The old times when the typical
American farmer was caricatured
as Mr.. Hayseed have passed away.
The typical American farmer to-
day is an alert, intelligent individ
ual, and in the South as well as in
the East he will soon be as keen
to avoid waste as the typical
manufacturer is. Waste is every
year in every industrial pursuit

THIS DECISION OF IMPORTANCE

The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States has just affirmed the de-
cision of the United States Court
OF Appeals for the fourth circuit
ia Iii TIN the case of the Guardian Trust
and Deposit Company of Philadel-
phia VS.. V. S. Fisher and others.
Justice Brewer delivered the opin-
ion. The question involved in
this case was that of the priority of
lien creditors over mortgages. The
controversy arose in connection
with the sale of the waterworks of
Greensboro, N. C. The trust COM
pany had a claim of $4,000 as a
mortgage, but the courts below
decided the case favorable to the
other claimants ON the ground that
a judgment by the courts in their
favor should have preference over
mortgage claims.

they received, notes an exchange

of New York told his force that
there were nine gods of war and
that he would call down the wrath

have named the nine gods of war,
