"The Lash" "

Marie Doro will be seen at the
Grand Wednesday in "The Lash" a
vital society drama written especially
for her by the noted writer, Paul
West.
The little island Of St. Ba'tiste,
where the first few scenes of the pic
ture are laid, was settled centuries
ago by hardly voyagers from Brittany,
and although the rest of the world has
advanced, this island still retains the
customs and the religious bigotry OF
it's discoverers. The inhabitants are
ruled by Perfect" whose word is
absolute lay, and one Of the customs
is that aIy woman sAcrifcing her
honor is q be lashed, " the Per
feet" acr4;s the shoIders with a
Miss Doro is seen Is the daughter
of this Perfect She falls in love
with a young chap from the outer
world who has been nearly drowned
and brought to her fathers house.
She goes to the mainland and they
are married. Later she is the idol OF
fashionable society, when an attract
i've young widow attempts to take
her husband away from her.
How the girl Of the island applies
the law Of her ancestors to this So
ciety butterfly, and eventually wins
back her husband, is brought about in
a manner which must be seen to be
understood and enjoyed.

"Sporting Blood

All the excitement of the race
! track runs through William Fox's
photoplay of the turf, Sporting
Blood, ," which comes to the Grand
/ Tuesday. The story deals with the
plot Of two persons, a man and wo-
man, against the gambler who has
tried to ruin their lives. In the end
they are successful, but not until they
have gone through many adventures
to gain their purpose.
Dorothy Bernard and Glen White
are the stars of the picture. Miss Ber-
nard plays the part Of Mary Ballard,
whose brother has been ruined
through the manipulations of Dave
Garrison, notorious figure on the turf
and in gambling houses. Mr.. White
plays Jim Riddle, who has his sisters
score to settle with Garrison.
Riddle and Mary combine to re-
venge themselves on the racing king.
Garrison becomes infatuated with
Mary, and she, realizing his inten-
tions, says: "If I'm worth winning,
play the game"
Then she bets herself against $1O,-
600 that Shooting Star, Garrison's
horse, will not win. She has her own
horse at home, Bay Belle, which re-
sembles Shooting Star closely. By
clever manipulation, she manages to
change the two horses, runs Bay Belle
as Garrison's horse, and Shooting
Star as her own.
The result is that the horse running
for the girl wins. Garrison is ruined,
and forced to leave the turf forever.
Mary and Jim are successful.

Mayor Behrnaan and many other

have signifed their intention to par
ticipate in the recognition banquet"
to be given John Nj. Parker. Appli-
cations for reservations are coming in
from all over the state. From 500 to
1000 are estimated as likely to take

"The Iron Woman"

''The Iron Woman" with Nance
O'Neil, one of the foremost dramatic
actresses of the country, in the title
role, will be the#Sunday feature at
traction at the Grand Theatre. The
picture is founded on the noted novel
of the same name written by Margaret
Deland, and has been produced on an
elaborate scale. Many of the scenes
in and around the iron mills, which
figure so prominently in the story,
were photographed at the famed steel
plant at Bethlehem, Pa. The explo-
sion, where the ''Iron Woman" is Sc
riously injured, is thrilling and real
istic feature of the production. The
old-fashioned home and the old-fash-
ioned clothes worn by the 'Iron Wo-
man. are among some of the artistic
touches, and in striking contrast are
the lively scenes and situations where
in the son of the wealthy woman is
concerned.

COMMUNITY HEART IS TOUCHED.

The search for little Francis La Rochelle in which practically the whole town joined Tuesday pcht and yesterday morning the tense feeling Of the community when there was doubt to the fate Of ,be uttle fellow and the unaOyed Joy Of every one
 when the story Of his recovery spread over the town demonstrates once more that at the bottom the hearts O, people are all right Probably not one searcher in ten had ever seen the missing boy. and not one in a hundred knew anything about him. But child of helpless years was missing and bis little life in danrer What of work and sOrdid business under sseh circumstances. What Of personal comfort or desire for pleasure. People forgot money making forgot themselves. and a whole town joined in an et fort to save the life Of little child Bankers mer chants. men of all lines of business employers and employees. rich and poor. men and women and white and coored ceased thoughts Of all else but the finding ot the missing boy.
 And then the genuine joy when came the news ,hat the lad had been found, that he was alive and tha, he soon would be we'll and happy again. For hours there was not face in town that was not liShted with glad smiles. and everybody told every body else the good news. The happy ending was the personal happiness of everyone
 Nothing in a long time has touched the heart of Juneau as much as this incident. Let us hope that will not be touched under similar circumstances again But 1t Is good once in while rediscOver that the community has heart-an active robust. red-blOOded heart.

ATTEND THE CAUCUS

Aeain The Empire urges every Democrat in Ju- neau who can do so to attend the caucus at the Council Chamber tonight where arrangements will be made for conducting the primary election that will take place May 10th and where will be placed in nomination for delegates to the Territorial conven ton to be voted for at the primary
 If the Democratic party is to be kept democratic the rank and file must take active part In its management IT the Democratic party has any use
 l office to perform 1t is to aid In the uniacaton of the classes That Is what democracy means. And that cannot be done unless all classes take part in party management.
 The delegates to the Democratic convention should be selected because Of their democracy and their in erest in the welfare Of the Democratic party aud in Alaska. and not because they for or against any man for any particular position The preservation Of the Democratic party for useful service and the ad yancement of the Territory are far important than the ambitions of any for place. and no ones ambition nor any ones desire to punish someone should be the test for the selection of delegate to the convention.
 The Democratic convention that will be held in Juneau May 24th will be the most important Demo cratic convention that ever been held in the Tor rltory The failure of the Republican convention to nominate candidate for Delegate to Congress. and the unsettled condition of the affairs of the opposition parties generally gives the Democrats Of Alaska an opportunity and places upon them responsibility that should not be lightly regarded. and duty the dis charge Of which must not be made mo-e difficult by personal politics or factiOnal differences.
 If the Democratic party is going be of use in this crisis in Aaskas affairs, there must be harmony and harmony can come only by keeping the mind on the main purpose Of the convention and by general participation in its affairs.

TIE FINAL UNITY OF AMERICA

In his Jefferson day speech President Wilson de- cared that the country at this time is demanding as never before the sort of service that is absolutely dis interested and non-partsan. He did simply refer 10 foreign affairs where everybody least proessed ,o be nonpartisan.
 Evidence to this effect accumuates. The project of nonpartisan tariff commission Illustrates it. Men are coming more and more realize that the countrys highest interest cannot be wholly expressed in party terms They are realizing there is something good on both sides of almost every question and that the high est interests Of the country only be served by those who are capable Of seeing and acting in ac- eordance
 Nor does this mean the destruction ot the party himself It means rather a widening of party aims and opportunities Party organizations useful in national affairs It will be long before they are dis pensed with if ever But the condition of party use fitness is coming more and more be It's ability to serve the larger and nonpartisan ends Of wise and wide public policy. The great party Of the future will be the one which gains power by party means and uses t for nonpartisan ends It will be the party which can rise above itself to the vision of the whole.
 And when this demand Of the people for nonpartt san service has grown full height and been met in its full significance we shall achieved the final unity of America First the political unity of the Revo luton Next the territorial unity finally established by the Civil War Next the patriotic unity to which the events of the present troubled period conrt outing Finally the unity all the people and all the political parties in the conviction that dIsinterested nonpartsan service Is the highest rule Of National life

LANES OPINION OF SITUATION

Asked why he though the present administrati Ould be retained in power, Secretary of the Inter rankin R. Lane said:
 Because 1t has made good" Continuing Secretary Lane says:
 No one could have forseen three years ago that the life of this Nation would have been so intense as it has been been during this Administration. and few would have prophecled, believe. that SO much would have been accomplished so wisely and so many situations of an unprecedented charac ter dealt with so satisfactorily
 This country Is growing more non-par.isan every day. It Is. asking for an efficient and an honest government, and Is becoming more indifferent as to the labels which, for purpos es of co-ordained action. men bear
 And somehow it matter very little what any Of us may say regarding the merits or de- merits of O party. for minds are seldom brought to @ conclusion by political speeches or pol,ti- cal articles. The newspaper, which daily tells the story of what Is done, gives Co the citizens the basis for judgment which he makes independent of partisan appeal.
 'In a word. think that 1t makes little dif- ference what criticism is launched against the Administration or what any of us may have to say in It's praise. The American people have judged it already very decisively by the things which it has done. and one of the great est things which it has done has been ser iously to disappont It's lugubrious opponents.
 For. as l look back over the past three years recollect very distinctly the sad tones of those who prophecled calamity if misfor- tune should place the Democratic party in pos. session of its governmental machinery: and one of the grest of these calamities would be a financial Arrangement in which credits would be destroyed our banking system imper- lied. and imitation follow demagogic legisla- ton.
 The answer of the Democratic Congress was the Federal reserve act which sound men of finance and generous.minded opponents have characterized as the greatest single construc- tive piece of legislation enacted by Congress in the past fifty years, and which in It's first year tided the country over the most threatening financial emergency in It's history.
 "The Underwood-Slmmons tariff bill has had no adequate trial It was in effect barely a year when the European war came on. which shut off imports from nearly one-half of in- dustrial Europe. Yet in that year of trial 1t produced as great revenues was produced the first year either under the Mckinley bil or the Payne-Aldrich bill.
 Its aim was to make imports pay reve- nues. Surely there can be no great demand for a new kind of tariff SO long as labor con ditions remain as they now, with fewer men out of work in this country than there have even been within Q life time
 These then, three words which will characterize the life of this Administration Peace. Prosperity. Preparedness
 Peace with honor, prosperity without fa- vortism. preparedness without militarism'

CONVENTION MUST STAND

Quite a lot is stin to be heard from all over the Territory about the departure of placing the nom inatlon Of a Congressional candidate in the hands of a committee It will. no doubt. give handle to the wlckersham forces should Mr. Wickersham not be eventually the candidate selected but Mir Wckersham could easily have decided one way or the other. Ar ter all no matter how constituted conducted, the convention was the convention of the Republican party in Alaska AS very often happens everything had been cut and dried and many had to "eat crow" if one might use what might almost be called the keynote phrase Of the speeches last night but 1t is the only Republican convention we can expect for another cou- pie of years and on its actions win be based all Re- publican activities should Republican President be elected slr. wickersham only asked, the dele gates say. subscribe the platform and to declare himself Republican and the nomination his.
