' Cotch Your Rabbit - fTTHE old rule about rabbit stew was "first cotch your rab r X bit." The committee of the senatorial inquisition which 'has been reconvened to boll in oil all the lobbyists they can . find, around Washington who don't know-the grip of the pa " trons of husbandry, thought they would have a real mulligan when they called Joseph R. Grundy, veteran tariff high-bind-er of Pennsylvania. Gnindyjs 70 years old, has preached re publicanism and practiced high tariff for half a century. The combination of the two he thinks is what has made Pennsyl vania great, and because Pennsylvania is great, so is the na tion; Grundy makes no pretense. One may not like his pol icy nor agree at all with his conception of government, but he is one man whom a senatorial inquisition does not terrify. ' Grundy has appeared some three times before the commit ' fee, and the committee has not had its mulligan yet they fire still short a good healthy rabbit. . ;When Senator Elaine of Wisconsin said if he would urge placing of steel used in farm implements on the free list he would not be classified as a plied: "I 'have no concern about where you classify me. '. Referring to the tariff on wool Grundy said that It was one at the best ways of helping the farmer outside of giving him $500,000,000. ' ' . "Who is giving the farmers $500,000,000 fashed Blaine, r "You fellows did it," smartly replied Gnmdy. Then Senator Carraway of Arkansas came to the breach and called the attention to Grundy's constant attendance in , the senate gallery during the tariff debate. Grundy retort ed: "Yes, I thought the show was worth the price of admis . sion." 1 - Then Carraway remarked that Grundy seemed able to divest himself of his various offices in a manner like a Ku Mux Klansman taking off his white robes, to which the wit- ness replied: . "You come from a section where you ought to know ' about that." There is this about the Grundys. You know where to place them. They are frank lobbyists for special causes. The menace of the-Grundy type lies not in their being active as lobbyists so much as being the men who provide the money for camDaism treasuries in primary elections, in state and in national elections. The senate committee will get nothing out of Grundy, they still have to "catch their rabbit," and his j "appearance has been at least diverting to the public. More About City Managers ASTORIA has been trying the city manager plan of gov ernment for a year past. The Morning Astorian recent ly devoted a lengthy editorial dealing with theityspaying the expenses of the manager's trip to Fort Worth to attend a convention of city managers from over the country. That of .-course is the popular sport nowadays. Every public officer from governor to court house janitor has to go at least once a year with expenses paid to national, international, regional, . coastal and other "conventions," always, be it known, with all expenses paid. v The Astorianmaes its comment as follows: - "It is attaining iBehelgth' ot something or another, probably the ridiculous, when the city commissioners rote to send the city manager to Fort Worth, Texas, at city expense, to attend the annual convention ot city managers. Regardless ot Mr. Oarretfs ability, the city is already paying him more than he can return in ralue, and to add to that another $300 to $500 Just to give him a jaunt to Texas, where the most e can accomplish la to find chance to get a better lob. appears to be the limit la tolly in Tiew of the city's 'i financial condition. Mr. Garrett has been paid during that time. enlr receive his pay for the time, "There is a lot of 'Hokum' manager's Job and a lottrf foolish talk about bis being the head of a 6S.000.000 corporation. The truth ot the matter is the manager ham littla to do with the $g.0t0,009 corporation. The city spends about $400,000 annually. Ot that amount all but about $135,000 goes to pay interest and into sinking funds. The ' - manager does not control its distribution. Of the $110,000 again, t feast two-thirds roes to par -salaries which are fixed, by law. Ot the remaining $40,000 about halt again goes to certain fixed ex penses established by long praetic and primary need T govern- . ment. This leaves a few thousand dollars of the taxpayers' money that the manager might be said ture. However, according to the city charter he cannot spend more than, $250 at one- time without approval ot the city commission. Has any one ever heard ot the 'manager of an $8,000,000 Corporation being limited in such a manner? "The manager also has considerable to do with the matter of public improvements, another form of expenditure, and it might be ' r , possible that considerable Judgment is, required In such instances. Verr true under other conditions. but with the present business and financial depression existing here, the improvement work is hardly likely to run beyond $50,000 a year and here again It la the city fc ' commission that exercises the final judgment and not the manager. "It might be pointed out that we have suffered in the past from t foolish improvement Jobs. True,, but If the public and city com missioners, for the present at least, hare not been educated la this regard, all the advice ot a manager woald be useless, and la such matter mil tha manaeer can after la advice.

Yet this is one of the most frequent disturbances of infants and young children, and its management should If the baby is a nursing baby, the symptom Is likely to be due to the mother's own condition and especially to her diet. The young mother eats heartily of milk-producing, foods in order to assure an abundant supply of nourishment for the child. This change from her diet may result In constipation for the mother. This in turn , causes constipation in the baby. There is no doubt of the relationship. If this is the, cause of baby's trouble, the mother is called upon to rearrange her own diet. During warm weather it ' must include for th mother plenty of fresh milk and eggs, fresh green vegetables and fresh and stewed fruits. She should drink water abundantly between meals. A calm and even state of mind win aid the health, promote the digestion and, thus; will do much t prevent conditions which cause con stipation Prom the first few weeks of its life, the baby eheuld be given orange juke.
