TAUGHT CIGARETTE HABIT.

America has taught the people OF
the Chinese empire to smoke cigarettes
In a report to the government on for,
eign trade by Consul General DENLY,
of Vienna, in which he describes the
class Of foreign markets which may be
created by American enterprise and
then supplied, the consul general
says:
''One Of the most conspicuous ex-
amples of such market is the demand
for the cigarette in China. Ten years
ago the cigarette was an article used
in China by small number Of people,
chiefly foreigners. The field attracted the
attention of American manufacturers,
who examined into it and decided TO
introduce the cigarettes to the Chinese
people by American methods. The re-
suit is that now the Cigarette is popular
throughout the empire. +"

williams Recognition of Madriz.

London, July 15.-The London
Morning Post, conservative organ, Is
the first OF the English newspapers tc
take editorial notice Of Kaiser Wilhelm's
action in extending official recognition
10 President Madriz Of Nicaragua, when
he knew Madriz was non grata with
the United States. The post tells fully
of the German attitude in the matter
and the American comment thereon.
Tie Post declares that its information
comes from high German government,
officials, whose names are withheld
The information thus obtained by the
Post bears out in every detail the
United Press cables from Berlin regard
ing the German attitude as to American
supervision of German diplomacy in
Central and South America.
In part the Posts editorial says:
If there is no reason why the en-
peror should not have recognized Mad
riz, it is difficult for us to understand
Why Germany was so much annoyed
over the fact that the Washington gov.
eminent was informed of the recognl'
ton. Ovcrmuch Indignation, we think,
suggests guilty conscience.
Though it has been officially de-
MED by Germany, il is naturally
rumorcd that Germany'S assistance was
not given to President Madriz for moth,
ing, but rather with the expectation
that Germany would be given coallne
station in South American waters.
The Vossischc Zeitung, which Is
certainly in close touch with The foreign
office, says the fact that the United
States refuses to recognize Madrlz Is
no concern of Germany's If this repre-
scnts, as corroborative evidence Ger
tainly suggests, the attitude OF the
foreign Office, GcrInany's position Is
tantamount to a reputation of the
Monroe doctrine.

FOR A CANDIDATE
No One Has Yet Expressed Desire to Make the
Race for Governor-Looks Like Liquor Ques-
ton will Cut Big Figure in the Campaign.

probability preclude him from run
ming on 'dry" platform, and 1t is
almost a cinch that the democra 9
will endorse the present local op
tion law They will have to either
do that or advocate Its repeal and
the re-enactment of high license
law, or come out for state wide pro-
hibition. Should they favor a re-
turn to high license, the party will
be badly split. But with such a
platform and with Hawley at the
head of the ticket, the liquor ques-
tion would become the paramount
issue in the campaign, and the
'wets" and ''drys" would be lined
up against each other, for whether
Brady or O'Neil head the republican
ticket it is certain that the platform
will endorse the local option law.
1t will, if we are to take Barney at
his word for he declared only last
Monday to Boise Statesman rep
resentative that he favors the strict
enforcement of the law and believes
it should be given fair trial be-
fore adopting any other measure for
the regulation of the liquor traffic.
With the republicans lined up for
local option and the democrats fav-
orlng the repeal of the law, it would
be an easy matter to pick the win
ners, unless several thousand people
in Idaho have changed their opiI-
ion within the past year.
Should both platforms endorse
the local option law, the "wets"
will have to either vote their party
tickets or not vote at all.
So view the situation as You may,
it looks very much as though the
liquor question IN the coming cam
paign, like "Banquo's Ghost" can
not be kept down.
