Yet. no congressman dares

IN our inconsistency. would fire

We DO demand high respect
from these people. however lit

He obviously does not like Rep. Martin Dies,
who has made the charges against the federal en-
ployes called to the attention of Mr. Biddle
He probably does not like the Hatch Act very
WELL insofar as it might be politically detrimental
to the New Deal if enforced.
He most certainly would lose his own desirable
and influential political position if the New Deal
should be defeated
DUT the likes and dislikes of Mr.. Biddle should
I'D not gage his performance of duty as attorney
general
Even the personal interests and ambitions of
Mr.. Biddle should not influence him in the per-
Torrance of his duty as attorney general and espe
cially should not influence him AGAINST the
performance of his duty.
The laws of Congress should be enforced by
the attorney general
They should be enforced with impartiality, in
behalf of all the people-and not with prejudice
against the opponents of the administration in
power, and certainly not with immunity from the
penalties of the law for the supporters of the adj
minstration in power.

in the District of Columbia
The proposal, now pending before the House
and Senate committees on the District of Column
bia, reads as follows:
A bill to prohibit experiments upon living
dogs in the District of Columbia and providing
penalty for Uiolation thereof
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled that from and after the
passage of this act il shall be a misdemeanOr for
any person to experiment operate in any man
hef- whatsoever upon any living dog, for any pur-
pose other than the healing curing of said dog
in the District of Columbia
Section . That any person convicted Of
violation of this act shall be sentenced to pay a
fine OF not less than 500 nor more than $500. or
to undergo Imprisonment for a term of not less

than three months nor more than one year or
both such fine and Imprisonment.
Section 3. That all acts or parts of acts in
consistent herewith are hereby repealed.
Such law as the above is certainly neces-
salY to protect helpless dogs from CRUELTY
PRACTICED IN DISGUISE AS SCIENCE.
But such a law is even more necessary to
protect us against OURSELVES. The instinct
for cruelty runs deep in the human mind 1t
shows itself in multitude of ways.
And Wher ii does, it has to be suppressed
for the sake Of the oppressor as roeu as for the
Uictim. In the long run each suffers equally from,
indulgence in this weakness.
Cruelty to animals leads all too easily to
cruelty te-fneff, and there is MORE THAN
ENOUGH of that already
There is no national law against cruelty to
animals THERE SHOULD BE
Let us make beginning toward it by pass
ing the above quoted act. for the District of
Columbia.
Do it for the dogs sake and for our own.

A TTY. GEN. BIDDLE has refused to prosecute
"A federal employees for violation of the Hatch
Act, asserting that such violation of this act is not
criminal offense and therefore mot within the
investigative or prosecutive jurisdiction of the
justice department"
What Mr.. Biddle really means is that, when
the Hatch Act is violated by federal employees IN
THE POLITICAL INTEREST OF THE NEW
DEAL ADMINISTRATION, his department will
neither investigate nor prosecute.
That is what has occurred in the present
instance
specified and identified number of federal
employees have actively supported and associated
themselves with the Political Action Committee of
the Congress of Industrial Organization.
THE sole purpose of the Political Action Com
mittee is to promote the re election of Pres-
dent Roosevelt and the perpetuation of the New
Deal administration.
1t is UNLAWFUL for federal employees to
engage in such an activity
The Hatch Act MAKES it unlawful for any
federal employe ito use his official authority or
influence for the purpose of interfering with
election or affecting the result thereof
Accordingly, the specified and identified fed
eral employees who have been pointed out to Mr.
Biddle as violators of the Hatch Act are either
guilty or innocent of the offense charged against
them
But Mr.. Biddle declines to go into the matter
Of their guilt or innocence.
Instead, he grants them IMMUNITY from the
penalties of the federal law which they are
charged with having violated.
THUS Mr. Biddle SETS ASIDE an act of Con
l. gress.
He even sets aside the COURTS of the United
States
He surely assumes an authority to the office
OF attorney general WHICH DOES NOT EXIST
and exercises 1t IN a manner that is startingly
strange and omnously dangerous.
= How can such an action by the attorney gen.
eral of the United States be defended and con-
doned. let alone explained and justified?
The attorney general is not a law maker or a
judge.
His sole function when there has been a viola.
ton or even suspected violation of the laws of the
United States, is TO determine all the facts and
present them to the courts of the United States for
judgment.
WHEN the attorney general falls short of this
w duty or goes beyond it, he is either delinquent
IN his duty or guilty of exceeding his authority
Atty. Gen. Biddle in this instance, has
definitely and dangerously EXCEEDED his duty
and authority.
1t is readily understood and appreciated of
course, that Mr. Bidde personally approves of and
is personally interested in political activity in be
half Of the New Deal -

have been world shaking issues only
IN the sense that they provided a
hearty bellylaugh for our world
neighbors. Such campaigns as :.

OF Yank naivete. Only our latest

sober-faced appreciation. Hunger
has made raids on ally and enemy
to such an extent that the world
appreciates the wisdom of sowing
every spare acre.
The lifeline of the Victory garden
is the garden hose. This year 1t is
being hauled out through cellar
easements and dropped from kitchen
windows of homes that are not
equipped with an outside water tap;
1t Is being snapped by neighborly
gardeners; 1t is, perhaps, being left
out overnight in the damp grass, O,
left lying, full of water, in the hot

One of the members of the Club

dishes which are unusual to North
American tastes made their appear

four couples making up the Club de

are. The name means shrimp fried

For eight hungry diners use 2
pounds of canned or packaged or
cooked and cleaned shrimp. Mari
nate the shrimp for an hour or so
in mixture of lemon juice with q
couple OF tablespoonful of good
olive oil and seasoned with salt and
pepper. While they are soaking,
make a batter of two cups of -four,
two egg yolks well beaten, then the
whites beaten and folded in and
enough olive oil and water mixed
to make the batter, adding a pinch
of salt. In kettle of hot fat fry
the shrimp thoroughly dipped in
batter until they are golden brown.
Then place them on a piece Of brown
paper to drain dry. Serve with lemon
Juice or tartar sauce, and, If you
have a preliminary drinkable, the
shrimp will do you and themselves

Now, in Costa Rica, folks like

but a real kid, young goat. Since
these are not ordinarily available in

enough for eight servings. If no leg
Of lamb is to be had, use stable
shoulder, remove the bone, roll and

cisions with sharp knife, push in
half strips of bacon and half nub-
bins of garlic. A true Spanish
American gourmet looks forward to
the garlic, but If our taste is still
not quite up to it, then we may,
after an hour of roasting, remove
the bits of garlic and consign them
to the incinerator. But the garlic
taste is well worth cultivating. When
the bacon and garlic have been
placed sprinkle the meat we'll with
