Music, the poet says, hath charms to soothe the savage beast In Oregon its potentialities are wider, it is capable of exciting the biped in a variety of ways. There's the little matter of eleven pianos for Oregon State college. First, Treasurer Holman sounded of f in a very natural yip when a requisition came in for that many pianos from a school where music is not a mai or. If it had been an order for a gross of automobiles no excitement would have been stirred; but eleven pianos, and for the state agricultural college, "ouch!" Budgeteer Wharton sandpapered the situation with a Wisecrack about the possible need of piano music (dulci pianissimo) for "contented cows." Whereupon the OSC Barometer, vigilant as a sentinel, sounded the alarm with an editorial which screamed "mur der," "help" on the front page atop the masthead banner. Music, says the Barometer, is quite indispensable in a "cow" college, and besides only 14 per cent of the students are en rolled in agriculture. The engineers need certain dosages of Bach fugues and Mozart sonatas; and the foresters can do much better work if they know the scale in G flat minor. And what will the pharmacy students do without the "Melody in F"? There are moreover several hundred girls who major in home ec and secretarial science and minor in music, and they need the pianos. Would they be supposed to commute to Eugene for an hour's practice each day? 1 The final and overwhelming defense of the purchase comes when the Barometer asserts the new piands will cost only $3.42 apiece, anyway. One must give it to the state col lege statisticians; figures are their second line of defense. Take the cost of the new pianos, deduct the trade-in allow ance and the remainder is $3,710. Deducting the net rental fees on the old pianos from the net cost of the new instru ments and the amount the state will be out of pocket will be $37.59, beat that with your automobiles, if you can. Alas, the piano deal struck another discord yesterday when the disappointed vendors indulged in loud dirge of lamentation, the successful bidder responded with fortissimo chords, and Paul Petri, head of the music department at OSC, did a chant to defend his choice of instruments. Fi nally the state board of control put the eleven pianos and the rival bids back in the lap of the state board of higher ed ucation to see it they could extract sweet harmony from the situation. t j It is safe to say Petri will get the pianos he chooses, and the cause of sweet melody at the college will be saved. . . ' . Football and Football is a sport. Good school and college. The players get the exercise. Despite the moanings of those who deplore the fact football is 99 per cent a grandstand sport, it is also a good thing for the boys who sit in the mooter's section. Those young fellows need an emotional outlet. Football supplies it at less cost to the com munity than the student riots which eastern college adminis trations expect in between athletic seasons. Basketball has finally taken hold back there and may replace riots entirely. But of course football is just a game, invented for the boys amusement They can take it or leave it Nobody minds losing a game now and then. Futhermore college boys with their high ideals and sportsmanship would rather lose than do anything underhanded or unfair. I That presumably is the reason the Pacific coast confer ence is reported to be seriously-considering the employment of Edwin N. Atherton, either as a "czar" to direct cpnference affairs or as an investigator to determine whether a "czar" is heeded. - j Mr. Atherton may be a sports minded man who will merely look over the situation and report as to whether the players are well supplied with bandages and liniment, wheth er .there is an undue amount of drinking in the grandstands anil whether the "football pools' are really an unhealthy fac tor in the game. ; , I But Mr. Atherton was formerly a G-man and he has just concluded an investigation of graft in the San Francisco po lice department which from all reports needed investigation. And the implications of his suggested employment as invest tigator of goings-on in the Pacific coast big time athletic de partments, are startling. Bombing of Panay Japanese authorities say it was a "terrible mistake," the bombing of the American gunboat Panay and of three American tankers, with injuries and loss of life to men on board. It was terrible; but it is doubtful if there was a mis take. Eighteen bombers and pursuit planes took part in the foray; and it seems incredible that they could have mistaken the identity of the ship they were bombing. The attendant circumstances make the bombing even more reprehensible. . Just before the bombing Japanese officers boarded the Panay and inquired its destination, which considering the state of "undeclared war" existing in China, was humiliat-j ing but not very offensive. Japanese troops lined trie: river bank and trained their rifles on the Panay, which certainly was a hostile gesture. The officers and troops knew it was an American boat How then did it come that a squadron of airplanes appeared in a short time and started dropping bombs on the gunboat and American tankers? Undoubtedly the Dilots oDerated under orders. i The offense is not to be passed off with merely a for mal apology and reparations. The American people will not go to war because of it, though they did on perhaps less pro vocation when the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor. But they will cherish ill feeling against Japan for its hos- . v a. a i i r 1 -.

" Car Showings, Fall or Spring? A vear asro when the first fall showing of new car mod els was given a trial the results seemed quite satisfactory. The change in dates from January was designed to spread the work more uniformly through the year. This year adverse comment comes to manufacturers from dealers. The. com plaint is that October ahowing cuts into sale of current mod els too heavily: also that the fall selling of new cars serves to load dealers up with used cars which they have to carry over until spring. Preference is expressed for dating the shows between December 1 and Christmas. Locally it is reported that dealers are slow to take trade-ins of very late model cars, whose value represents bo large a portion of the new car price. They do not want to be stocked for over-winter holding with an excess number of high-priced used cars. , I The motor car industry will have to-work out its own problems as best it can. When the popular appetite for new cars is good they will -sell, fall or spring; when it is duB, then the fall season is not so good because the big demand for used cars, taken in trade comes in sprinjr and summer. In cidentally one of the first signs of business retardation came with the dulling of the edge of the used car market last summer. Perhaps this will offer new index for business -.tatisticians. , tatemaan Police Graft clean fun for the boys in high in its assault n China and of neutral in this undeclared j " Bits for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS Who Invented the 12-14-37 Oregon boot? More about the Pringle clan , from former Salem citizen: Relayed by war of the editorial office, comes a letter from Martin T. Pratt, aheriff of Multnomah county, reading: "I am very desirous of securing information relative to the origin of the 'Oregon boot,' a shackling device for prisoners. What know ledge I have received so far has come from the Oregon state peni tentiary, which reports that one William H. Leininger invented the boot' in 1875 while living in Sa lem, he being at that time proprie tor of the Commercial hotel In the McCormack building. V S "There apparently is no other record of Its origin' in the state of Oregon. I thought possibly some old time resident of Salem, or de scendant, might recollect Mr. Le ininger, his personal history, and his connection with the 'Oregon boot.' "If through means at your dis posal you were able to secure ad ditional information I would greatly appreciate it." V . It has been the generally ac cepted tradition in Salem that Wm. H. Leininger Invented the Oregon boot. Mr. Leininger In the eighties, was chief clerk of the Chemeketa hotel, now Marlon. He may have previously, or even sub sequently, been proprietor of a Commercial hotel, in what after ward became the E. P. McCornack building, now the Moore-Steeves building, in which is the Miller store. It was originally the Reed's opera house building, erected In 1869 and 1870. by C. A. Reed. Several old time hotels were ac commodated in that building, also the supreme court and the state library, for a time, around 1870 71. S S In the latest edition of the Ore gon History of J. ; B. Horner, (1931), appeared, beginning on page 216, under the title, "The Oregon Boot," this sketch: '"The Oregon boot was Invent ed by William H. Leininger, of Salem. According to Mr. Leinin ger's daughter, Mrs. WiUiam Ra dir. the importance of the Inven tion was suggested in a confer ence with Colonel A. B. Meacham upon sympathising with some Mo doc Indian prisoners that were chained together. "The invention was patented in 187S by the inventor. As to its utility, Hon. Henry W. Meyers, late superintendent of the Oregon state penitentiary, aald: 'The Ore gon boot is in general use by pen al Institutions and is advertised by 'The Detective of Chicago, which has. a wide circulation among peace officers of the coun try "As described by the United States patent office, 'it Is an im proved shackle for the securing of prisoners with more safety, less discomfort, and greater facility of application and . removal by the officer in charge than heretofore. "When attached It is of a com pact cylindrical shape without projecting parts, giving no unnec essary annoyance to the prisoner. It is supported by a frame of steel fitted around the top of the shoe worn by the prisoner. As a hu mane invention It is far superior to the old time chains. It is a part of the prisoner's foot gear; and it waa called The Oregon boot' be cause at that time boots were mere commonly worn than shoes among-prisoners." So ends the Horner sketch. It Is accompanied by a .good cut in the book made from a drawing, ahow ing the device as worn on the leg of the prisoner, and attached to the shoe. Prof. Horner, or his In formant, omitted to say, as should have been done, that the weight of the circular piece of iron around the lea: of the prisoner is support ed by a frame fitted to the heel of the shoe (usually the bottom of the heel), not to "the top of the hoe," as the quoted sketch says, or Intimates. S S Thus, the weight is not in the least oppressive to the wearer but. It it be considerable, ham pers him in running, so may pre vent his escape, and even an at tempt at a getaway. The weighty part of the "boot" may be of large or small size and heft, and of various patterns; each one of which is aimed to pre vent fast movement on foot. V Used sanely, the Oregon boot Is worthy of much more general em ployment in conveying prisoners on -trains, automobile, etc., than it baa. Such general use would save a lot of tragedies In this country each year, where cocky or smart Alecky officers and deputies show oft In conveying prisoners, lrylnj to prove te the general public that they are brave and resource ful men. . ;.

Hhnem, who wa then a- popular Portland printer, now and for a generation curator of the Oregon Historical society, has a short sketch about William H. Leininger. Quotations follow: '. "William H. Leininger, bora In Pennsylvania, came to Oregon in 11(2. aad settled in .Salem, where he still resides. His oecanmtiea is collecting1 and selling seeds of the large lemved maple, Acer circta- atum, av deciduous tree ex the most beautiful description, and perfectly adapted for shade and ornament."

Clabw On the By DOROTHY Cooperatioa or Sabmissioa Thera'a a German saylnr. "Be m j brother, or IH bash your head in. Some of the em ulations recently. from Washington recall It. The ap peal for cooper ation between in- Jldustry and gov 7 ernment la ar sompanled by threata of what 5 will happen if ln I ins try doesn't f cooperate. One . 1y X might call it an Oeretay Thewpraa attempt at coer cive cooperation. But the two ideas are paradoxical. There is no such thing aa cooperation by coercion. There is either one thing or the other. Mr. Henry Wallace, the secre tary of agriculture, recently ad vanced a seven-point program. It is a reasonable program. It in cludes taxation revision, a "workable" form of ever normal granary, a "sensible" labor pro gram, cheap -credit and capital through a "healthy" securities market, provision of government capital to carry the burden when private capital fails, and the con tinuance of Secretary Hull's re ciprocal trade treaty program for, the revival of world peace and world trade , ' So far soj good. . But the pro g r a m is accompanied by the further suggestion that If it is not carried out government will have to rush into the breach and take over a great many more activities than it has thus far touched. So that consideration of the program occurs in an at mosphere of the jitters. Again there is the emphasis on the necessity of speedy action. And nowhere is there any admission that the present dilemma in which we find ourselves is, as it is. the direct result of the break down of previous, too hasty plan ning and regulation. This column was, I believe, the first to say somewhat tact lessly that the stock market break was the beginning of a genuine business recession, and, unless certain policies were changed, of a depression. That depression has developed. It is not the 1929 depression; it was brought about by totally differ ent factors, and certainly among those factors ere. very promi nently, the accumulations of bad regulation, defective planning, and ill-advised taxation. Norm airy, the realization of this would imply that government Tevlew its policy and seek to correct its mistakes. But instead it appeals to business to take' it at its 11:43 Mystery Chef. 12:(r0 Pepper Young's Family. 12:45 Ma Perkins. 12:30 Vie and Sade. J2:43 The O'Neills. 1:00 Ray Towers.

R THOMPSON word, to trust he rorernment, and go ahead and invest money and re-employ men, "otherwise we will do it." It is reminiscent of Goertng announcing to Ger man Industry that it must pro duce this or that or else; or Goehbels demanding from Ger man writers that they produce a new nazl culture,, r I g h t aray quick; or the soriets telling the fish industry that it must dou ble its production within a year or suffer t h e I consequences. Actually, what paralyzes all in telligent cooperative action is threats. If a d d e d to normal risks is the threat of a general earthquake, no one will take anyj at .all. Demanding peace, on the ground that It is morally' desirable, without making a sin cere and whole-hearted effort to remove the causes of war, is like calling the Brussels conference. It gets us nowhere. i Mr. Wallace's statement of " jectires is fair enough. Bat what is a "workable ever-normal I granary?" Other nations have ; spent years of experiment trying to establish it, and ; haven't suc ceeded very happily yet, even with dictatorship. What Is . a "sensible" labor program? Hard ly the one laid ; down in the Wagner labor relations act, to judge by the results to date. What is a healthy securities market? What we desperately need is a new technique to find the answer to tone ol these problems. Certainly the answer is not to be found by balancing; the demands of special interests, and employing coercion of one kind or another. Mr. Wallace is not getting "cooperation" from the farmers, if he has merely made it impossible for them to vote against him. Submission is not cooperation. a e ; a The big problem of agricul ture Is the problem of certain distressed areas.
