The Gospel of Wediock.

The true gospel of wedlock is voiced
by Alice Hubbard in the Christian
Herald as follows:
SHOULD the bride pledge obedi-
ence?" Yes. Absolute obedience to
her own highest individuality and per-
sonality, obedience to the God within
her, every time.
SHOULD both sides equally pledge
it," Absolutely. The man should
pledge himself to be obedient to the
God within him--the very highest.
The word "obey" should be dropped
from a marriage ceremony unless so
used.
That any husband should obey any
wife. or that any wife should obey
any husband in the old sense of the
word, belongs 10 barbaric age. 1t
suggests servitude and comes direct
~ TO us from the time when the hus-
band literally owned the wife, just as
in Spain today the husband has pow
or over the wife and can whip her
into obedience.
Marriage in democracy is a part
nership. Mutually of interests on a
lofty basis of friendship. love. is To
my mind the only excuse for mar
rage. No promise made at q mar
rage ceremony can be enforced ex-
cept the letter of the law, and wher
the spirit of marriage is gone, the reaI
marriage is terminated.

GREATEST COAL CITY.
Proud Distinction Given to pittsburg
by Uncle Sam.

a statement Just issued by the United
States Geological Survey gives the inter
estinS figures that Pittsburg handles more
coal than any other city of the world.
Taking New York for a comparison,
Pittsburg, within city limits. had 81
population in 1910 of 5339l5, while New
York had 1905 $50. Yet PittsburEs total
movement of coal was 81, O0o00 short tons,
while that of New York harbor. includ-
ing the consumption of the city, was Co..
10000 tons. The consumption Of ritts-
burg aside from shipments, was esti-
mated at SIS 600,65i tons.
Considering the entire movement of coal
for the year ending June l. 1910, it was
a record for the IL months The increase
over 1908 was 4,21Llol tons, most Of which
was by rail to points west of PittsburS.
The water shipments to Pitsburg fell off
about 10000 short tons, while rail ship
ments Increased about $4,000 tons. 1t
is stated that the water shipments TO
Western and Southern points fell off on
account of continued low water in the
Monougahela and Ohio rivers and the
rail shipments to the West were increased
by the coal strikes i'll Illinois and South
western fields.
The total coal shipments by rail and
water to the Pittsburg district in 1903
were 1891 15i short tons and in 1910 they
were l5.500,654 tons. The shipments by rail-
to points west Of Pittsburg and to other
points were increased from q, 1880 to-
q, 453, SCI The total water shipments de-
creased nearly 100000 tons. These fig
ures, the statistieian is careful to say. do
not include any coal mines in the Pitts
burg district and shipped to eastern
points nor do they include any shipments
of coke. The shipments to Eastern points
during 1910 were 1o7Sl,5ii short TONS
against Ii 800, 1872 in 1909.
The rail and water shipments to and
from the Pittsburg district the last five
years have been as shown in the follow
