Commencement Night.

When the curtain rose at Central
hall on Thursday evening last week,
the scene disclosed to the crowded
room full of interested spectators was
very effective. The walls were hung
with ribbons of pink and green crepe
paper, the class cOlors, with bank or
heavy greenery at the back and mass
of ferns along the footlights.
The eighteen pretty girl graduates
all dressed in white, with the half doz-
EN- young men interspersed to make
the right balance, sat in two semi circles.
Prof. Drouyor occupied seat at one
end of the row and Prof. McKenny, the
speaker of the evening, at the other
The latter was introduced by the
superintendent in timely little speech
and the audience settled down to listen
to the President of Ypsilanti Normal.
His subject was "School and Life, "
and in clear, plain, concise talk, he
evidenced his views in regard to the
necessity and value of education and
the immense Importance 1t stood for in
ones life. Prof. McKenny is not a
brilliant or fiowery speaker, but his fine
personality holds his hearers TO the
last word, and his last word Is as good
and effective as his first He was well
liked and his address was considered
most excellent.
Diplomas were awarded the grad
yates by Mr.. Drouyor in few well
chosen words and with several selec-
tions of music by McKanlass orchestra,
Commencement exercises were oyer
for another year.
Later the floor was cleared and the
evening prolonged with dancing until
one o'clock.

THE NAVAL BATTLE

While the London account or Wednesdays great naval battle between the fleets of Great Britain and Germany did not include the great new superdread- nausht warspe or the slightly less formidable super dreadnaught Marlborough among the vessels that were destroyed as was reported from Berlin. the accounts s the contest are nearly enough agreement to make n plain that the British fleet with terrific dis aster It is admitted that five large British ships including the magnificent battle cruiser Queen Mary and Inc fine battle cruisers Indetagabe and lnvinci be and the two smaller armored cruisers Defence and Black Prince were destroyed with lot of minor craft These were splendid specimens Of war vessels that went down. and strong unit of Britans first line Of battle on tho sea.
 The British accounts say that several German bat ne cruisers were destroyed and the German account admits that three great vessels were lost That also with the German smaller vessels that 1t admitted were destroyed constitute a considerable naval strength
 If we accept the German report the British got much the worst of the engagement If we accept the British account Of the British loss and the German account of the German loss. stn the hOnOrs were with the Germans, but not by odds SO great that Great Britain could not well afford to make the ex- change. A few more such exchanges would weaken the German fleet to a point where it's power of of fense would be slight while the great navy of Eng land could stand to four five such battles and stin be a formidable fighting force.
 However f the warspite and Marlborough were
 also among the lost the story is different and the ex change should prove favorable to Germany.

THE LICENSE ELECTION

Next week the people of Juneau will be called upon again to vote on the question as to whether or not licenses shall be issued for the sale of liquor within the city The Empire believes unCuestonabiy that the vote should be in the affirmative The ques on involved is not that Of prohibition It is not as to whether or not liquor may be lawfully manufactured in or imported into Alaska It is not as to whether or not t shall be sold at retail in the vicinity of Ju neau It is simply to whether or not it shall be sold within the territory included within the municipal limits of Juneau.
 The Empire believes that 1t were far better to have limited number of saloons within the city where they are surrounded by police authority and restrictions contributing to the municipal and the upkeep of the community than to have dozens of blind tigers" outside of the city limits or within 1t hidden from the police is far less demoralizing to
 community to have the sale Of liquor in police regu- lated houses than it is for people to elsewhere for intoxicating beverages where there Is either an ab- ence of law or the restraints of business and social connections to aid in Keeping those who drink in con- trol of themselves.
 Under the miserable form of government that pre- vais in Alaska there are funds for prevention of crime There are no funds for the employment of de- ectves or raldng or any of the other processes that have been found effective In suppressing the liquor traffic There is legal machinery only for prosecut- ing offenders after the offense has been committed. Suppose Washington and Oregon were as poorly pro vided with governmental machinery is Alaska what chance would there be for the suppression of the H. quor traffic in Seattle or POrtland'
 Is is simply absurd for people to try to inausurate prohibition In Alaska under the statutes that have

SOMETHING WRONG AT SEWARD
Seward Gateway)

Seward Gatewayl
 It is a remarkable fact that everyone who comes to Seward and stays here few days speaks about the lack of combination the part of the residents
 In every town there is an Atmosphere which strikes the visitor almost quickly as the climatic conditions That is the reason why you hear people saving that some town is fine and the other is no good. even when they have spent only few days there
 lot depends. of course on the personal comfort of the people who visit. You can hardly expect man who comes late on a rainy night to hotel room without heatyou can hardly expect that man to start out next morning writing poem about the place
 Everyone who visits Seward. we can cay speaks about the nice people to be met here. That's iacr And get Q man coming in and sitting at hotel win- dow on Fourth or Fifth avenues and within few minutes you will hear him say something compliment tary about Stewards people men and women but par ticuarly women All joking aside Seward has been blessed with the brightest and best looking women or Alaska and for some another it has had men sent here who are second to but there is some lack of community spirit One could not express an opinion about this lack without putting into some phraesology such as saying that need the genesis or the genius or something. But we do really need something.
 There ought to be change. Hasn't every man in this city thought the same thing? And thinking does very little practical good Seward ought to do something. You remember that you must let dough rest to get it properly sour

ANCIENT FLAGS AND BANNERS
Some Kind Of Symbol Has Been N
uae az Far Back as There
ls Any Record.

The Standard dictionary defines =
flag as "A piece Of cloth. commonly Of
bunting. and usually square or oblong.
either plain or bearing a device; used
as a standard. symbol or signal. and
generally displayed by being attached
by one edge to a stan, or 10 a hal
yard, by which II may be hOisted TO
a pole" The same authority defines
a banner as "A piece OF fabric, OF
cloth. or combination Of netting and
cloth. either suspended from a pole by
q cross-bar, or hung from a pole by
between horizontal ropes, and bearing
some motto or device: often carried in
professions as the ensign Of a society.
order or party" Notwithstanding the
difference here noted between a flag
and a banner. there is a sense in which
flags are commonly and correctly
spoken OF as banners. Tennyson re-
fers to the banner Of England" and
the Star Spangled Banner" Is a quite
familiar expression. Among the ear
Hest records OF civilization are carv-
ings and paintings showing that the
ancient Egyptians had their own par
ticular standards in the form OF sacred
/ objects affixed to STATS. The early
Romans used a handful OF hay borne
on a pole. Sometimes a cross-piece
Of wood was placed at the end Of a
spear and surmounted by the figure
Of hand. in silver. below disks with
figures OF Mars and Minerva. or in
later times portraits of emperors or
eminent generals. The vexillum
which was the cavalry flag, is de
scribed by Lfvy as a square piece OF
cloth fastened TO a piece OF wood fixed
crosswise TO the end OF a spear. The
labarum. the imperial standard OF
later emperOrs, was Of purple silk rich
ly embroidered with gold, and some
times was not suspended as the vex
illum. hut displayed as our modern
flags. that is TO say. by the attachment
OF one Of it's sides to a star.
