The nipson William McKr.irv, and his associate are prosecuting. The Woman's club of Rock Island starts its career as such with a charter membership of 621 a most auspicious beginning for a club that should be the strongest force for good in the three cities. The club now has a larger membership than either the Davenport or Moline Woman's clubs and the interest and enthusiasm is one of the best features of the new organization. The first regular meeting since organization was affected was held Saturday fateraoon at the Broadway Presbyterian church, the r.litorium of which was well filled vJi club members. Mrs.

T. B. Da via, the president, presided and rn calling the meeting to order she said: "It gives us great pleasure, I am sure, to be together here at this, the first regular meeting of the Woman's club of Rock Island. It is also a great satisfaction to have such a large and representative gathering at our opening session. We look forward with hope and expectation to the opening of the year, although the work of this first year must be largely one of organization and getting better acquainted with one another.

We hear much at the present time of the brotherhood of men; it seems to ne it might be appropriate to have a siKterhood of women also. If we can work together as members of a large and harmonious family with the saw? definite aims and purposes with a desire to advance equally the interest of all much Is possible for us. While oar primary object is that of self culture we do not want one that will make ira narrow and selfish, but a culture that will be far-reaching In Its results, that will broaden and deepen our sympathies, that win give us a clearer insight into the needs of others and cause us to wield an influence that will be felt' where-there is any occasion fox right sentiment and endeavor. If we can do this, if we can striwe together in harmony for all that is noble and uplifting, not only for ourselves but for all with i whom we come in contact, we will surely win success, and then it can be said in truth that it is a good thing to have a Woman's club in Rock Island."

The Moline Woman's club, through Mrs. George Hun toon, extended greetings to the club and In a few har-py words congratulated it on its splendid beginning and pointed out wherein the most effective work can be accomplished. She showed wherein a representative body of women, such as the one just formed, could accomplish much as a great developer and Jev eler. She held that religion, politics and suffrage should be eliminated from the club to work the most harmoni ous results, these three disputed ques tions being the rocks upon which many- clubs have been wrecked. She spoke of the formation of departments and assured the club that departments would be formed as the need of them is presented, and that the year would not be half long enough to accomplish all that its members would like to do.

Mrs. Huntoon assured the local club that the organization which she represented would be most willing to join wltji this club and the Davenport Woman's club in the formation of a tri-clty federation when the time is ripe for such a body to be formed. Greetings to the club were brought from the Davenport Woman's club by Mrs. William Tbeophtlug, and she had much the same message as Mrs. Huntoon.

She spoke especially of the effort being made by the Davenport club In t.he Interest of peace and arbitration and the effort that is being made to instill the idea into the minds of the school children, by the setting aside of a special day for the advancement of peace. She spoke, too, of the tri-clty federation idea and was heartily in accord with any movement looking towards Its organization. CAUi FOR UBPARTXKXTS. The study department of the club to further its organisation has called a meeting for Thursday afternoon at o'clock at the library, and members of the club who desire to affiliate themselves with this department are asked to attend this meeting.
