REVOKES CHARTERS OF LODGES Chlrasvot vrltk Five Tfcoasaaa Member shin. Will Lose a Franchise This Week, He Aanonnree te Omaha Kaglea. 'I may reduce your membership, but when I get through you will have a better membership and this order will be on a much blither standard and enjoy a much better place In the estimation of the !eoplo of this country.". Bo Theodore A. Bell of Napa. Cel., presi dent of the 'Fugles In the t'nlted States, twice congressman from his state and once democratic nominee for governor, told the Ragles of Omaha In his address at their banquet. He told them ef Ms plana to "weed out'' the order and bring It up to a standard of character and efficiency not Inferior to that of any other order In the country. ' "We do not at present enjoy the full confidence of the people and we may as well recognise thla fact," he ssld. "Beat ing about the bush will not help matters. We want to realise conditions and then proceed to meet them. The fact Is It has been too easy to obtain membership In this order. "I make this propossl and If my Influ ence and authority aa president permits or enables me to do it, I shall see that hereafter the requirements are such that no man can gain membership In the Eagles who does not actually earn his own living by genuine work. We don't went the Idlers, the parasites. " They will not help us, but they will hurt na. We want-to get rid of them and keep them out." He Kevokea Two Charter. And then he threw a bomb Into the camt with this utterance: "Within' the week I have revoked th charter of a lodge of Eagles In Mtnneapolli consisting of LOCO members and next weel I shall revoke the charter of another !odg In Chicago with 6,000 members. I take thli notion because of the undesirable charactei of the memberships. And it shall be my policy from now on to revoke charters wherever lodges violate the true principles of decent fraternallsm. We do not wsnt members who are not fit for other orders. We are not a catch-basin for the scum of society and If people have thought we were they must have those Impressions cor- ' rected by striking object lesson which will bring home to them the solemn truth." Omaha Eagles have not yet ceased to applaud the address of Mr. Bell. They are determined to stand with him and see that, so far as Omaha Is concerned, he will never -have occasion to think ef revoking -the charter here. He paid a tribute to the lodge here and said he only wished there were more such. "Don't get the idea that I'hold pessimis tic Ideas about this order. The majority of lodges are not bad, but good, but that don't destroy the fact that we need to do some missionary work In the matter of weeding out." President Bell was entertained at dinner yesterday at the Commercial club by rep resentative business men of Omaha who are determined to land the Eagles' national ccnventlon for thla city. The order has a total membership of 300,000 and Omaha business men realise the significance at tached to a national gathering of this else and character. Mr. Bell paid a tribute to the Industri ous efforts of J. A. Tuthlll to land the na tional convention of this order for Omaha "For the last ten years "Geographical Tuthlll has been pounding It into us that Omaha Is the geographical center of this country and should be given the conven tion on that account, together with th fact It Is eminently qualified In other ways to care for such a convention. So you may be sure Eagles everywhere have a pretty good Idea of where Omaha la located." FIRE RECORD 1 1 C Peterson Kestnarant. ST. PAUL. Neb..
