ALL EAGLES 70 FLY
TO LAGOON JULY 10
Utah Kings of the Air to Hold
Their Ninth Annual
Outing.

The ninth annual outing of the fra
ternal Order Of Eagles Of the state ut
Lagoon July u Will be important not
only as n gathering of members Of the
order with the usual gaiety and ex-
change of fraternal greetings, but be-
made 30 effect a permanent organiza-
tion of the aeries of the state into n
compact body, with q central headquar-
tcrs and Il strong corps of officers, who
shall have mt heart the interests of
Eagles of all localities.
The necessity for a strong state or
ganization has been felt for a long
time. 1t is said, and the matter has been
talked over and over again in the lodge
rooms without any decided results be
ing reached. There are state organi-
cations in nearly every state IN the
union where Eagles abound, and the
annual conventions are enthusiastic af-
fairs, at which great many import,
ant matters connected with the order
are carried out. Only recently q big
state convention was held at Butte,
Mont, an affair which attracted attcn-
tion all over the country. More than
$4,000 was spent by the citizens OF the
place for decorations and electric H.
luminations
In addition, however to the opportu-
nifty for carrying out an active nation
al convention. the advantage Of a strong
central organization has proved boon
to the order wherever organized. 1t
enables the different aeries to work
more harmoniously. to keep in touch
with one another and to carry on the
work Of the order more effectively. The
state of Utah now has ten we'll organ
lzed aerles, which are carrying on cf-
fectlye work. 1t has been urged that
now is the time for Eagles TO get to
gether in order that it shall no longer
be said that Utah is last among the
states IN effective strength because cf
the lack OF central body.
The matter viii be taken up at the
coming annual outing Presidents and
past presidents from all over the state
Will be present and il is expected that
there VIII be little difficulty in arous-
ing among the members present reali-
Zatlon Of the necessity for establish
ing permanent state organization.

that the American tariff revision, CON
trary TO the idea prevailing here, was
IN no wise aimed at France. The en-

joyed a monopoly in articles of luxury

the United States and President Taft,
recalled former President Roosevelt S
words to M. Jusscrand. the French en-
bassador: 81 can imagine war with any
other country than France as an
expression of the friendship between
the two countries. The minister said
that France could only await the con
summation of the American tariff with
some apprehension which perhaps might
be equally felt on the other sldo, as
both countries had ultra -protectionists.
President Schurman warned his hear
ers that there was less enthusiasm for
liberty and the rights of union IN the
United States and Europe that there
was generation ago. He viewed with
great satisfaction present conditions IN
