The Empress programs for Saturday nights are selected with a view of giving the best and funniest pictures available sometimes it's clever farce, and sometimes high class comedy-but there's always a good laugh prom lsed On Saturday night
 In the latter class of comedy drama, belongs the special feature for tonight, Cheating Cheaters." The leading role is played by Clara Kim ball Young, who long since estab- llshed her reputation as one of the cleverest and most finished come dians of the screen.

MT. Hoover has the visioo and broad concepts and the scientific and trained mind of President Wilson, plus wide practical experience in or ganizing and in business, and plus an understanding of human nature that has made him a good mixer. He is one of the most valuable of American citizens, and his presence in the cabinet gives the people as surance that the new administration will not be smothered by Bourbon ism. The absence of any of the pro- fessional Progressives in the cabinet had already given the people assur- anCe against the dangers of dema- gOgues and discomfort promoters Juneau Empire.

RELATION OF NATIONAL PARKS
 TO NATIONAL FORESTS

A clear distinction of fields exists batween national forests and national parks, the secretary of agriculture &aid in discussing the value of the national forests as recreation grounds Tn his annual report to the president.
 Areas of scenic grandeur or na- tural wonders which are exceptional in character should be incorporated in national parks. But the national forests must be administered with definite provision for recreational use along with the development and use of their material resources.
 The national parks must be pro- tected against any form of commer- cialization. Unless they are limited to areas in which the beauties and wonders of nature are in reality so dominating that they justify prohibit ton of conflicting forms of use, it will not be possible to deny demands which will be made for the use of water power for irrigation and even for timber and forage. Nor should we build up under the name of na- tional parks public properties which are open to various forms of com mercial exploitation and which are in fact merely national forests under a different designation. Above all. the national conception of our great parks as areas so fine and wonderful that they belong to the whole coun: try should not be cheapened by mak- ing them simply d means for local development or advertisement.
 Areas whose dominant public val ues are economic do not belong in the parks. They should remain or be placed in the national forests if they serve the primary functions of the forests-the production of tim her or the protection of watersheds On the other hand, the economis ser vice rendered by the forests should be no bar to the administration of small areas at many points within them for public recreational purposes or for the protection of their natural beauty. In fact for every one of the national parks there are literally hum dreds of areas in the national for ests whose highest public use re- quires development of their recrea- toual value, though it would not jus tify their administration as national parks"

HOOVER IN THE CABINET

The appointment of Herbert Hoov- acceptance of the post meant that the Harding administration will begin functioning with one of the greatest real progressives of the nation at the counsel table. There is no compar- ing the progressiveness of MT. Hoov- CT with that of the noisy professional PrOgressives. Mir. Hoover is not an impractical agitator nor is he dema- gogue. He does not believe in tear ing down our institutions, political, industrial or social. He is an even tempered well balanced, thoroughly practical constructive man of great ability, who possesses vision and a passion for moving forward and building up-fOr constructive prog ress. He is the opposite of Bour- bon on the one hand, the opposite of 3 Robespere on the other. There is none of the sham reformer about him. He abhors the loud-voiced maker of vot-catching phrases, the selfish Office-seeker who tries to ad- vance himself by promoting discon- tent and chaos. He moves forward to definite ends through practical means. He organizes and advances in orderly manner, with heart and brain co-OrdiRating,
 It is the most natural thing in the world that MT. Hoovers appointment was opposed by the "Bi-Interests" on the one hand and the professional Progressive on the ether. He is too broad for those at either extreme.
