Modern Order of Praetorians

Founded in Dallas in 1898 by Charles B. Gardner, who had formerly worked with the Home Forum and Woodmen of the World. Despite early setbacks the Order thrived and by 1909 built the Praetorian Building, the first skyscraper in Texas.〔''Fraternal Monitor'' XXXI #5 Jan. 1921 pp.16-7〕 Membership was open to men and women and the Order had 36,752 benefit members.〔Preuss, Arthur ''A Dictionary of Secret and other Societies'' St. Louis: B. Herder Book Co. 1924 p.272〕 This was up from 32,800 members at the end of 1919 and approximately 36,000 at the end of 1920.〔''Fraternal Monitor'' XXXI #5 Jan. 1921 pp.16-7〕 In 1923 the Order was active in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico and Washington. The administrative organ of the Order was the Supreme Senate at the Praetorian building in Dallas. Local branches were called "Councils", of which there were 599 in 1923. Local officers included a "Sublime Augustus", "Seignor Tribune", "Junior Tribune", "Worthy Attorney", "Worthy Recorder", First and Second "Centurion", "Lygian", "Soothsayer", "Sentinel", "Praetorian Queen", "Worthy Physician" and "Official Musician".〔Preuss p.272〕 Became life insurance company in the 1957.〔Axelrod, Alan ''International Encyclopedia of Secret Societies and Fraternal Orders'' New York; Facts on File, inc 1997 p.16〕
