q ONE Of these fine days I am going
- to commit murder. and when am
tried for my crime. instead OF
sending me to prison for life or to the
electric chair. the jury will arise as
one man and crown my noble brow
with laurel wreaths.
More: A long suffering and perseeu-
ted public that has been filled with
dark and bloody rage, even as you and
I, will organize societies and build
monuments to my memory, for the vic
tim of my righteous vengeance is going
to be the fat. futile, aimless, purpose
less planless woman who weaves all
over the place, blocking your way and
keeping you from getting where you
are going.
You know this lady-Anathema be
her name You. are rushing pelI-mell
for your train, or to keep an engage
ment, with just, the right margin of
time in which TO do it. Suddenly your
progress is blocked by one of these
slow moving bodies. You dodge this
way and that.-trying to get by her.
No good. She wabbles first to the
right and then to the left, zigzagging
this way or that, or she remains i'm
movably. stuck in the doorway while
she ruminates on the length of eterni-
ty, or chases loose penny thousand
miles around the bottom OF a shopping
bag. the while you stand helplessly be-
hind her, filled with dark surging
thoughts that would not do to print.
She Is Immovable.
Wild horses couldn't drag this wo-
man to her own side of the street, nor
keep her, there. Not for $1,000, 900 cash
would she go straight on out Of a the
alter when a play is over, nor could any
earthly inducement make her keep to
the right in a crowded store
She takes a fiendish delight in i'm
periling peoples souls by blocking up
the subway entrance and filling up
the theater aisle so commuters have to
miss their trains, and making of her
self stumbling block that everybody
who Is in a hurry falls over and barks
their shins against.
The least that people who have no
object in life can do is to get out of
the way, OF those that have. and give
them az clear track, and 1t is an outra-
geous as well as an exasperaSing thing
to be forced at every turn to fight
those who do nothing themselves ex-
cept stand in the way Of those who are
trying to do something.

Dorothy Dix .. q. Distractions,
Protest Against the Insists Upon Blocking the Street
On the 0bstructionist

For the woman who blocks the sub
way steps and makes you miss your
train is the physical COUNTERPART Of
the obstructionist IN the way of pro-
gress the world over, and who makes
so many of the balance Of US lose the
express that would carry US 20 success.
Sometimes she is the woman without
industry, energy or ambition herself
who takes up the valuable time of 9TH
er people She has no hesitation in
breaking In on your morning work
and she viii run in for a minute, and
stay two hours and gable about Moth
ing until you feel like calling for the
police to put her out. Or she will call
you up on the telephone and talk to
you until you are ready TO swoon with
exhaustion. while you have 10o0. 600
things to do that she is keeping you
from doing
Sometimes Sniy Wife.
Sometimes she is silly wife who
stands between brilliant man and the
goal OF his desires A great opportunity
Is offered him in some distant city, but
she can't leave the place where she
knows everybody. Or it may be neces-
sary to practice rigid economy in order
to have the capital for some big bust
ness venture. She refuses to do without
the foolish finery that uses up the
money. Certain people should be pla
Gated. She can't resist the temptation
to be nasty to them and air a private
grudge
All OF the husbands talent, his in
industry. his efforts are blocked by the
wife who has no plans Of her own, who
is utterly incapable OF doing anything
on her own hook, but who just stands
in the way.
Sometimes she is the over-devoted
mother, who won't. let her daughters
marry or her sons leave home to seek
their fortunes because she just can't
bear to be parted from them. She has
got nothing to offer them, no fortune TO
give them, no chance in the world to
throw in their way. All she can do
is just to be an obstructionist, to get
in their path and stop them from
catching the train that leads to sue
cess.
OF course. obstructionists probably
can't help being obstructionists. Not
everybody is built for sprinting and
has got speed, but they can, at least,
keep close to the wall, on their own
side, and give those who are going
some a chance to get there.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS BUY
TWO CARLOADS OF BIBLES

Commercial drummers and Bibles do
not, perhaps go together in the popu-

who are militant Christian workers, as
they have opportunity between sales
and while waiting for train copnec-
tions. have just bought two carloads
of Bibles the largest shipment Of BIZ
bIes or any other single book ever
made.
There met in San Francisco on
Thursday the International Sunday
School convention, with about 1000
delegates and alternates in attendance,
and on Friday afternoon, as reported
by wire, there was a street parade Of
men. A large delegation making up
the parade were commercial men from
every part of the country, but chiefly
from the coast. Each parader carried
a Bible On Sunday, June 25th, a spe-

CHRISTIANS COMMENCING
THE PRESIDENTS PLANS

The Federal Council of Churches or
Christ in America issues an appear 10
pastors and ministers of America to
give larger emphasis to the Importance
of support for international arbitration
and peace. 1t urges that Sunday, July
2: Tuesday, July 4, and all outdoor
mass meetings this year make promi-
nent the theme Of world peace and the
relations of Christians to it. 1t states
that sit is as truly the function or the
gospel to minister to the establish
ment of law as it is the function OF
the law to- be the servant of the gos-
pei" 1t also observes that Christian
agencies, having brought into existence
many of the institutions Of civilizat ton,
are bound to stick to the task Of per-
fecting such Institutions.
The National Council of the Free
Churches of England and Wales sent a
communication to president Taft and
it has just been given him in person
by a committee from the council with
the Rev. f. B. Meyer as chairman. The
federal council expresses its willing
ness to take the lead in a world coun-
ell for peace that shall. include Chris
tan organizations OF Germany and
Great Britain having as members both
ministers and laymen Of standing and
influence.
The prediction is made that in such
world council Catholics of Europe and
Arlerica will unite with Protestants.
Agitation OF the whole matter is TO so
on at summer conferences during July
and August, with view to concerned
action early next fall.

CHANGES FOR BETTER NO
MATER WHO Is president


The new president of Mexico, wheth-
er the leader Madero or another, is
committed to the task of improved
public sentiment In Yucatan, in the
Campeche section, in Lower California,
and to some extent in the vicinity OF
the City of Mexico itself, fanatiscism
obtains to the extent of being willing
to take life, while stoning religious
gatherings and arresting Bible agents
on suspicion OF being common thieves
are not at all infreQuent
During 1910 the centennial OF the
patriot Hidalgo, the soldier priest. who
led Mexicans to liberty, was observed,
and the American Bible society's part
IN 1t was the gift of editions OF the
four Gospels and the Book Of Proverbs,
with the Mexican tri-color on the COW
er. No fewer than 52.069 gospels and
II .213 proverbs were sold or given
away. and in spite Of the political
troubles and with the coming Of peace
through the efforts Of Madero, it is
expected that the entire editions CT
both books will be distributed this
year
The extent to which some Christian
people of the United States are con-
tributing to changes in Mexico is shown
by these facts: Last year Bible col
porters visited no fewer than 1888
cities and towns, and distributed ST.
1O6 copies of the scriptures. almost
wholly by sale. In the larger cities, no.
tably in the national, capital, Monterey
and Oaxaca Christian Endeayor, Ep-
worth league, and Sunday school work
flourishes. Much of this change has
come as a result of Bible distribution.
