Officials Are Reticent.

Pending the return of Surgeon General
Wyman officials in Washington refuse to
talk, but there is no indication Of lack
of confidence of ability to cope with the
situation. So far as their ability to stop
the entrance of people actually suffering
from the disease is concerned no uneasi-
ness is felt. The danger is from persons
SO constituted that they may be cholera
carriers''-persons infected with the
scourge and able to infect others, but
on whom no signs of the disease are ap-
parent.
The problem of coping with cholera
carriers is the more difficult because
little is known of the persistency Of in
fection. The longest period so far OBJ
served covered fortynine days. Typhoid
carriers remain dangerous for years,
however, and the possibility that the
persistency in cholera carriers may be
as great makes the problem of prevent
ing the importation into this country the
more difficult.
The man who died at sea on the Santa
Anna evidently was not in the cholera
carrier class, and public health officials
are at loss to understand how he man.

CHINA TO HAVE ARMY OF
23,000,0o0 FOR WARFARE.
Compulsory Military Service Gives
awakening" Formidable Aspect.

The announcement of the fOrthcom-
ing establishment of universal com.
pulsory military service in China has a
formidable sound. The man who Is
about to become secretary of war In
the Chinese cabinet and who makes
this announcement as forecast Of
the policy which he will adopt gives
us a significant reminder of what
such system may theoretically mean.
Germany, with a population of co.
100000. has a standing army In time
OF peace Of more than 100000 and a
war strength Of 3.765.O0O. On the
same basis China. with a population
of 400.000000. would have peace
standing army of 100000 and a war
strength of more than 23,000,OO Such
an army, composed of first class fight
Ing men, would be overwhelming
against any other nation in the world.
II not against any conceivable comblna-
ton Of nations, wherefore a super
ficial pessimist might argue that the
end of all things for the non-C Chinese
world was in sight.
The meaning of the awakening is to
be that China will at least be strong
for self defense and that therefore
she will be able to demand and to
exact the same respectful treatment
that other nations enjoy.
That may be unwelcome to those
who have assumed that the most popu-
lous country Of the globe would always
remain helpless mass, which others
might bully. exploit and plunder at
will.
The awakening of China has been
inevitable. and 1t has been and is
part of the most ordinary common
sense for the world to recognize that
fact and to prepare for its realization
1t is within the power of the rest OF
the world to determine to consider
able degree what shall be the charac-
ter and the purport Of that awakening

WALLoWA COUNTY FAIR AT
TRACTS INTEREST OF MANY
ELSEWHERE.

Not only the stockmen OF Wallowa
county but those from surrounding
points are manifesting a desire to be
represented In the exhibit during the
Wallowa County Fair. beginning on
September 26.
This Is encouraging to the manage
ment OF the Fair. Not only this.
but the general interest, through the
county, apparently taken by practl-
cally every resident. adds to the en-
couragement OF the men having di.
rect charge of the fifth annual ex-
hibit.
One matter that has attracted
wide interest, and meritedly so. Is
the care taken by the management
to interest the girls aud boys OF the
county In various contests. In each
OF these competitions the premium
offered is sufficient to give any
young Lady or gentleman a neat
sum OF money.
What Is now very pertinent to
The csccess OF the Fair Is that O.
body in the county, whether able
to make EN- exhibit or not, should
make the Fair a topic OF daily con
versathon; to devise plans by which
the management may reach the In
terest Of all: and TO keep the en-
