A STITCH IN TINE.

Without giving any cause for un-
due ALARM, but as a matter OF wise
precaution, we state that small pox
is reported in Baker City, and other
points near Weiser, and reports from
Lewiston are that number of cases
have developed in that city. Pre-
vention is proverbially better than
cure, and in view of this the city
authorities here should take every
precaution to prevent the importation
Of this disgusting disease. Some
effective means of quarantine should
be established, as the prominence of
Weiser causes the incoming Of num-
bers from the present infected places
The benefit will come from immedi-
ate action. Personal safety would
also suggest that vaccination be re-
sorted to in all families and by in
dividuals, being the only method
recognized by enlightened people to
modify and prevent the spread Of the
disease to iii epidemic form. Our
schools should be carefully guarded
No symptoms of the disease has yet
been manifest nearer than Baker,
and by prompt and proper action
danger can be averted.

Dewey, Drawing every danger, threw
himself upon the foes at the Spanish
colonial capital. The very daring of the
assault increased its force and eff
cheney. To the Spanish soldier and
sailor these seven ships, coming out of
the gray dawn in full battle array,
seemed seven destroying monsters from
whom there was no escape. The mere
fact that they were there made every
soul believe that they We're invulnerable
and invincible 1t was this feeling
which disarranged the Spaniards' aim
and destroyed the usefulness of their
torpedoes.
Doubtless Dewey had calculated the
moral effect of his sudden appearance
before the walls at Cavite. He was
bound to attack the place and the soon
er he attempted the task, the greater
were the chances of success. The swift
campaign which found it's fitting eli
max in complete victory was a stroke
of genius which the world will never
forget.
1t is rare that a man attains great
ness in both war and peace. In general
a great warrior Is very poor diplomat
and statesman. There have been nota-
BILE exceptions, such as Charlemagne,
Frederick the Great and Bismarck. On
the other hand Napoleon Bonaparte,
Wellington and Garibaldi displayed not
more than mediocrity in civil life. If
Dewey surprised the world by his naval
genius, he amazed it afterwards by his
supreme tact and common sense. From
the hattie of Manila up to the time he
left Luzon, Dewey does not seem to
have committed one mistake. He was
beset by troubles and difficulties on ev-
cry side. Jealous or grasping foreign

space their meaning: how the Pacific.
like the Atlantic, has been made the
cruising ground of the English speaking
races.
The older generation still picture the
Pacific ocean as an UNEMPLOYED waste,
dotted with savage isles and crossed
by only an occasional trader. The boy
of to-day sees instead body of water
with English and American communi-
ties at every stragetic point and coigne
of vantage, law and order prevailing,
in every isle and with every port the
scene of commerce that is destined
soon to rival the older harbors and ha-
vens of the Atlantic.

no use and the troops of no ability or
daring. Nothing is cheaper than this
style of argument and nothing more
false. Manned by Dewey's men and
commanded by Dewey's officers, the
Spanish fleet would have destroyed the
Americans, the Spanish batteries would
have sunk every ship, the mines and
torpedoes would have fulfilled their
deadly purpose and the fortified arsenal
would have remained in the possession
of it's occupants. 1t was the men who
performed the feat and it was the man
over the men who directed their fierce
intelligence. 1t was a marvellous ex-
plot. Here was great city which rep
resented Spanish civilization in the Far
East. In and around it were 10000 SOL
diers who had served and fought for
two years. They had the best rifle
which Europe possesses, the Mauser;
their artillery represented the Hontoria
guns of Spain, the improved breech-
leaders of France and the superb can
mons from the Krupp works of Ger
many; they had forts and batteries
which had been constructed by engi-
neers trained in the best military
schools of Europe. The Notifications of
Corregidor should have sunk every war
ship which came within the range of
their guns. Those at Cavite and Ma
Mia should have held off fleet five
times as strong as that which Dewey
led across the waters of the China
sea.
The mines and torpedoes came from
British and French workshops and in
skiful hands would have done ire
trievable damage. Nor were these all
the difficulties which lay before the
American sailor.

Britain, true to its bulldog nature, i'm
mediately started building a newer and

most in direct words took advantage
of he lessons which it hail learned froni

In the various year books of 1898 the
United States was placed 18th on the
in the year books of 1899 it was placed
in the fourth or third rank.
The promotion was largely due to
George Dewey.
In January, 1898, there were sneers at

naval architect of Europe had on his
desk the plans of the Olympia and Bal
timore, the Concord and the Boston.
Without the least intention to serve
in that capacity the American admiral
served as a schoolmaster to the ship
builders of Christendom!
Nor should the grandeur Of the vic
tory ever be underestimated. Non-pat-
riotic and cynical thinkers are too apt
to measure facts by results and not by
actual conditions. Because Dewey's
squadron destroyed the Spanish fleet,
silenced the Spanish batteries, escaped
the Spanish mines and torpedoes and
captured the great naval arsenal at
Cavite, they proclaim that the Spanish
feet was worthless, the batteries in
efficient, the mines and torpedoes of

disorder of war; the savage, semi-sav-
ed to reap a golden harvest from the
disorder of war, the savage, semi-sav-
age and semi-civilized elements of the
Philippines raised new questions from
day to day. Through it all Dewey
moved as calmly as upon his own quar-
ter deck.
After month had passed the Ameri-
can public and the American press paid
him the highest possible practical COM
pliment. They gave the Philippines no
attention beyond the comment that
they were in the hands of Dewey and
were all right. This administrative
wisdom appealed to the nation with al
most as much force as had the admir-
ais triumphs in battle. They demon
strated that the hour had found the
man and that in the great naval COM
mander the United States could offer
the world character with which to
dignity the history of the race.
His homecoming is significant In
other respects; his triumph and pro-
gress from sea to sea and port to port;
his daily communication with home by
means of the submarine telegraph; his
prediction of the day on which the
Olympia will enter the Narrows, are ell
oquent of a new era. They show how
small the world has grown, how the
ocean has lost it's terrors and time will
