C-S Club Meeting.

The C-S Club had a most inter
esting afternoon meeting a week
ago in their rooms in the village.
After business was attended to,
Rev. Ruegg in an informal address
regarding activities of women, told
of the prejudices against women
in England, Germany and other
European countries.
In England you see it in the
homes. The house is built around
the man. His den is fixed up
with many things for his COM
fort, while the woman of the
house has wretched kitchen in
which to do her house work. They
marvel and criticize the care and
expense we in America put in the
kitchen.
In Germany the lot of woman
is much harder than in France,
Denmark, Holland or Norway. In
Europe they look upon the Amer
lean attitude toward woman as a
proof of weakness in character.
Apparently they have not learned
that it takes more strength of
character to stand firm and to
await an unselfsh opportunity than
it does to grab and hold against
another which seems desirable. At
least, while not making this last
statement, DIR. Ruegg implied as
much.
He states that in America we
are going through a terrific rev.
ol6tion regarding the status of
woman; taking her place on juries,
in public offices, in conferences
and in councils of the nation.
Then to make plain that this was
a wide and deep movement under
lying the development of all hui
man affairs, Mr.. Ruegg took up
the subject of biology. He gave as
the first law of life; self-preserva-
ton. This is called the infant
law, and is also termed the Mason
line law. The second law of life:
struggle for others. That is seen
primarily in mother love, the care
of and sacrifice for the young. 1t
is called the Feminine law.
The first law carries people in
a circle; it gets them nowhere; the
dollar or the land grabbed from
another does not add to the sum
total dollars or land but only that
created adds to the sum total.
When the second law comes into
activity, then progress begins,
advancement is made. The status
of nation is indicated by its at
titude toward women. The nation
that does not respect women does
not advance and will not last.
There were no women or chill
dren at the making of the Versail-
les treaty; therefore it will not
last. He visited the battlefelds
in France where American soldiers
astonished all Europe by their i'm
petuosity, courage and resource
fulness and he attributed this con-
dition to the courage and capabil-
ity of the American mother trans
ferred to her son, together with
the bond of mother love that the
soldier boy carried in his heart as
he went forward into battle.
In the questioning that followed
the address it was asked how the
women of Germany liked their
new freedom. This was answered
by the statement that they have
taken up with it gladly.
Prof. G. L. Coons of Beaver
Falls, Pa, a chemistry professor
who with his wife spent a week
camping on the shores of Duck
lake, and who listened to Mr.
Ruegg at the C-S picnic couple
Sundays ago, speaks of him as a
widely posted man and very much
of a philosopher. The women OF
the club have seldom enjoyed a
meeting as much as this.

H. A. MILLER
RETIRESFROM
SERVICE HERE
immigration Force Presents
Him With Gold Chain and
Watch Fob; Will Live at
Corpus Christi

Having rounded out seventy years Of
usefulness in this world, Harmon A.
Miller, junior clerk and stenograph r.
steps down TO make place for young
-r man, the rules of tn. civil service
having dtcretd that when man has
reached that age he is entitl Il 70 a
long rest on "A substantial pension And
so Brother Miller. as he is affect onate-
ly known in tn Brownsville station. has
taken his last notes in board hearing
or in warrant pIoce, dings as the case
may be. lie has been "a good and
faithful servant and has come INTO his
reward" at last.
II. A. Miller first entered the govern
ment service in 1904 at Harlem, Mon
tana. as issue clerk at the Fort Riley
Indian agency, r.maining there until
1907. IN which year the Brownsville
immigration station was established a.
= regular staIIstical station and MIR
Miller was sent here as clerk and stem
graph,r under the then Insp, cJor in
enargt, Fred LawtOn, now dec ased
lie has continued in that capac .ty for
sixteen years and II is OF record IN this
office tnat he has never MISSED Il DAY
IRON his duties save wnen upon annuaI
leave. In fact. II has been an adage n
TINS immigration station that some OF
thtse days, II young insp. ctor perse-
yered. he might become as energetic as
Brother Miller.
Whenever there was q rush of work
such as is occas. .oned by an overflow OF
alien applications for admission, long
after every other man in the service
was asleep, Broth~r Miller was pound
ing the mill getting his papers ready
Tor transmission next day IN order that
there might not be any delay in the
admission or final dispos tion Of the
alien applicants. Mr.. Miller detested
delay and was Of that Christian dispo-
sition that breads TO see any human
be ng disconnected. He was, IN a word,
one Of the best clerks the service has
ever had and his place is going TO bt
hard to fill.
He left yesterday for Topeka, Kan
sas. where he expects to spend thirty
days or more visiting relatives, after
which he will return TO Corpus Chr 8
ii. in which c.ty he has business inter
ests and where he will probably make
his home. He will rot forget. however,
that he spent many happy days in
Brownsville, and fully expects to visit
us whenever he can and as often as he
can.
As a testimonial of their love and es-
TEEN for him the employees Of the
Brownsville station, just before his de-
parture yesterday, presented him with
beautiful gold chain and fob, appro-
priately engraved. VIII ch ne proudly
strung across his breast with all the
pride that an emperor has when he re-
ctives the crown. Inspector Shuts, in
the absence of Inspectcv iy Charge
Brewster, made the pr sentation and re-
ceivcd the grateful Acknowledgements Of
Brother Miller. who was too filled with
gratitude to express his thanks 10 "ail
the boys" for their thoughtful rsmem-
bIance.
