i - - . . - - - ' i . , 1 I t CHICAGO, April 16. The "muck rake" Bpeech of President Roosevelt was discussed yesterday by Dr. Emll Q. Ulrsch In his lecture, at S.lnal temple. tem-ple. He Interpreted It as an "expression of the President's belief or feeling that the emotional exponents of the' gospel of unrest are likely to rush the- country coun-try Into the vortex of the greatest f the world's revolutions unless a halt la called." 1 ' . " ' "What the humanitarians, philosophers philoso-phers and sociologists are solicitous about today is not that a revolution hsll come, but the form it may take." said Dr. Hirsch. "'Is it to be revolution or evolution? Is It to be-a violent upheaval up-heaval that may have the Immediate effect of setting back the cause of progress, temporarily at least; or will It be a peaceable change from Industrial individualism to industrial co-operation? ; - "Those are the questions upon the answers to which wl)l depend to a large' degree the progress and prosperity of the American generations of the near future. - "That, t take it, is the thought that Inspired the great address of President Roosevelt yesterday in Washington. He interprets aright the signs of the times. . He sees ahead for his beloved country the vision of a revolution' infinitely more far-reaching than the world has ever known. "But let there be no mistake about the President's meaning. To me it seems clear that. his warning against what may be called 'extremism' Is directed di-rected as much to the rich or so-called capitalistic class as td the critics on the incessant Quest with the malodorous and unsightly rake. ' "The crying injustice of the individualistic individ-ualistic philosophy is its pretense to pay labor for its devotion of a lifetime with a mere subsistence for labor's ' prime and the poorhouse in old age. If it be socialism, to say that the true industrial in-dustrial cure is co-operation, then let us have socialism. The true and Just course for employers and capitalists is to consider wealth not a possession, but a stewardship."
