EARLY TRAVEL DIFFICULTY.

In 1858 two English Quakers, Rob
ert and Sarah Lindsey made a visit
among the Quaker communities in
Iowa. The following quotation from
the diary OF Sarah Lindsey printed by
the State Historical society OF Iowa
in the July number of "The Iowa
Journal Of History and Politics" H.
illustrates the difficulty OF travelling
across Iowa at that time:
''On account Of bad roads and swol-
len creeks, we returned to Indianola;
but finding It difficult to obtain either
a guide or horses, at last we borrow
ed an old carriage and hired horses
from an hotel; the landlord drove us
but the roads were worse than ever.
We had not proceeded half way, be-
fore we plunged into a deep slough
where the horses broke their swingle-
trees, and we had to borrow harness
from a farmer who lived near. After
we had gone few miles, like ac-
ctdent befel us, but fortunately be-
ing near house we obtained assist
ance and went on our way. Before
reaching the town our carriage pole
nearly broke in two, but with repair
ing we reached the Raccoon river
which lay between us and the town;
about p. M, but on looking for the
bridge 1t was not to be seen. The
river had risen several feet and

believe such publication is neces-
sary, for the reason that no reputable
American journal would misrepresent

will leave this country to fight on the

LARGE UNIT TENDENCY IN COAL
MINES.

For five years the United States
Geological Survey has collected coal
production statistics showing the dis
tribution of output among f1ve classes
of mines, rated according to their
productive capacity. Comparisons of
these compilations indicate that
even in this short period the tenden-
cy toward concentration into large
unit operations is marked. In the
anthracite mines of Pennsylvania
such concentration was evident be-
fore 1909, and there has been further
progress in the same direction. In the
bituminous mines in these five years
there has been an increase In annual
production Of nearly 100 million tons,
but practically no increase In the
number of commercial mines. There
has, however, been a most significant
change in the number Of production
Of the mines Of the first class, those
producing 100000 tons or over, the in
crease IN number being 20 per ment
and the output of s95 Of these mines
in 1913 averaging nearly 100000 tons,
as contrasted with 100000 tons, the
average production per mine of this
class in 1909. The proportion OF the
total production contributed by the
mines Of the first class has increased
in the five years from 421s to 501s
per cent. This tendency toward
large operations is Characteristic OF
beth western and eastern coal fields,
the six states showing the largest per-
cen tage of production from mines of
the first class being Utah, Virginia,
Pennsylvania. Illinois, New Mexico
: and Montana in the order named.
Table showing production by
classes of mines and other details are
included in the annual report on the
coal industry by z w. Parker, of
the United States Geological Survey,
which Is now in press.

ALL MEN ARE NOT BAD.

A young man nvlny IN SuDurD Oh
New York, says the Pictorial Re
view, was detained at business one
Saturday night later than usual. He
reached home nervous and tired from
long hours at his desk. His wife, her
mind poisoned by the doctrines of ex-
tremist, questioned him about every
move The young husband stood on
his dignity and refused an accounting
Of time spent In earning money for
the support OF their home. The wife
fretted over it for two days and then
committed suicide, leaving note
that will shadow the young husbands
entire life.
A young couple appeared in a court
OF domestic relations. The wife was
demanding separate maintenance.
Another case of business absorption
on the part OF the husband, wrestling
with the problem OF increased cost OF
living and suspicion on the part OF
the wife. She had returned to her
mother, who had fostered her sus-
picion.
In neither case did the wife have
evidence, nor did she seek to estab-
Iish her charges. She became NOR
bid on suspicious, fed by the doctrine
OF innate, ingrained masculine wick
edness, exploited by misrepresenta-
tives of feminism.
Today too many wives are looking
for evil in their husbands and tool
many men are on the defensive, al
state Of affairs which will never re-
suit in sex equality.
Women there are who scorn to-
charge their faithful, Flooding, tied
tc-the desk husbands with infldeiity,
but they do not hesitate to hold them
up to scorn in public meetings.
In this connection it is well to re-
member that we have not yet de-
veloped financial economic equality in

loves her and spends the major por-i

Ere yet we loose the legions-
Ere yet we draw the blade.

Proud heart, rebellious brow

The fool that passed Thee by,

Revenge that knows no rein,

To taste Thy lesser death!
