...resolved "that this convention appeal to the President for the removal of those public officials . . . who either through their laxity or their inefficiency are responsible for much of the present unemployment . . . unless those now in charge show their willingness to carry out the intent of Congress!" Secretary of the Interior Ickes, chief target of this shot, replied sharply...
...Administrator Hopkins and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace gave Secretary of the Interior Ickes his third extra-Cabinet Government job when they drafted him for FSRC, "because he is a good man to have around." Federal Surplus Relief Corp. announced that it would provide for the needy by extending the processing tax to other commodities beside wheat and cotton, buying up surpluses with the proceeds of the tax. For instance, a 1?a-lb. tax, it was calculated, would secure for FSRC between 50 and 100 million pounds of butter. Commodities which FSRC could not provide, Emergency Relief Administration would...
Castor has been watching with some trepidation the pre-natal career of the Federal Housing Plan, that incautious boast of the Interior Department, but now that the midwives have ceased their incantations it seems a pretty sorry infant after all.

This means eventually a conservative puppet party will come to power, since it will be backed by the sugar and fruit...
Many were the Pre-Raphaelitish extracurricular activities. They published a short-lived magazine, Germ. They were charter readers and enthusiasts over Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Edward Fitz-Gerald's translation of the Rubaiyat. They started an interior decorating company, "destined to banish Plush and Fuss from the Victorian drawing-room. . . ." But their most enthusiastically-pursued activity was the cult of Pre-Raphaelite woman. First came Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal, called "Lizzie" for short, a long-necked, beauteous but goitrous milliner's assistant. For a while their common model, she became by tacit consent the property...
