GETS An OREGON BOOT.
Sheriff Lucas Adds One to His Office
Equipment.

A new safety appliance has been
%uded TO the collection at the sheriff 8
ONCE and is what is known as the
oregon Boot and is a nickel plated
trinket entirely different from any
thing now in use in this section of the
country. 1t is used extensively in the
western states in transporting crimi-
nails to and from penitentAaries as
well as conveying them about the
1t takes the place of leg irons and is
considered much safer from all stand
points as It Is almost impossible for a
prisoner to escape with one OF them
on him. 1t is a contrivance of steel
weighing about twenty pounds and is
made In two pieces The first or
lighter piece fits over the shoe, a sec
lion Of it being attached to the heel
by means Of screws. The second piece
IS a heavy band which encireles the
leg just above the ankle and rests on
the section which is screwed on the
heel Of the prisoners shoe.
This heavy band is perhaps four
inches in thickness and five inches in
width and has set Of hidden hinges
and closes with a lock the mechanism
of which is concealed deeply in this
steel anklet. The weight of the boot
IS such that the prisoner can scarcely
walk with it and 1t would be impos-
eible to file one Of them of even
though the prisoner had the tools and
q week Of spare time, and the lock be-
ing concealed cannot be reached with
out the long screw like key which ac-
companies It.
This boot was purchased by Sheriff
Lucas where it was invented and
where IL gets its name and was used
an bringing T. W. Harris home and in
the future will be listed with the jew
elry at the sherih's Office. With one
Of these attached to his leg It would
be almost certain death for n prisoner
TO throw himself from the window of
a moving train IN an endeavor to es-
cape and should the fall not prove
fatal he would be unable to travel
with this weight attached to his ankle.

CARL SEIZURE.

The death OF Carl Schurz removes one
more remarkable figure from the line
OF illus,rious characters In modern
American history. OF foreign birth
and education, he became quickly iden-
titled and noteut I'm the affairs OF this
nation. and for some years welded
considerable influence I'm politics and
IN literature. He was regarded as
somewhat erratIc ana rash but honest
and fearless. He was a man Of ideas
and force IN their advancement, but
yet changeable and therefore not thor
oughly reliable In party affairs. He
was the subject Of ridlcule by the
cartoonists and of fierce denunclation
by political adversarles, but he was al
ways Of consequence and courageous
IN controversy. lie WAS n distinguished
and eminent personality, and never to
be despised as a combatant on what
ever ground he occupied. He was a
strong fighter, IN war and in peace
and only changed his position when his
honest opinion prompted him. His
demise Is loss TO the world as well
as to his adopted country, and he will
be numbered among the great minds
of his age and generation, Regret Is
felt ut his departure by prominent
people of all parties, and encomlums
come from every quarter on his life
and labors. Peace be TO his soul!

THE WORLD IS MOVING.


An evidence OF the progress the world
Is making toward the state of general
peace and good will. il furnished by
the change noticed in the books used
I'm tho common schools ns channels
of information IN history, The time is
not very FAR distant when the authors
Of such books considered nothing that
did nor relate to wars, battles, and
warriors as worthy Of their attention.
What the heroes Of peace had accom-
plished during the various ages, found
but little room In the handbooks of
history.
A notable change IN this respect has
taken place OF late years. \ report
has recently been published, bearing
on that subject, II is by committee
Of the American Peace society app
pointed for the purpose Of investlgat-
ing the study Of history in the schools.
The committee reports that the books
have been growing better OF late, as
regards the proportion OF space given
to war stories and the achievements
OF peace This must be considered an
encouraging sign.
According TO this report, IN the school
histories used between lsA3 and 1855,
for instance, the amount Of space de-
voted to wars was about forty per
cent OF the books. In the textbooks
used between 1855 and 1897. the aver
age space used for war was found 10 be
only 9Sj per cent. In ten histories
published between 1890 and 1904 the
average war-space was found stll fur
Their reduced to 26S. and tho newest
school histories, those published be-
tween 1909 and 1905. proved to have
an average OF but 2t,7 per cent Of
space an wars These figures" says
the Boston Transcript, "seem to estab-
lish the fact Of a general veering Of
the modern mind away from the old
habit of giving too much value and at
tributing undue effect to mlitarIsm,
as compared with those other main
interests of the world OF today, indus
try. agriculture, manufacturing, cleo
trical development. railway constuc-
ton education literature, political en-
llghtenment. art and science"
Another evidence Of progress IN the
right direction Is found in the fact that
disarmament IL again seriously dis.
cussed. The car, II viii he remem-
befed, called the first Hague congress,
which was opened on the 18th Of MAY,
