One Of the greatest complaints which
reaches US from our brave boys at Ma
Mia, Philippine Islands, is the poor
mail service given them.
AS we understand conditions, mail
reaches them only once in 80 to go days,
and their failing to get good news
from home" make their hearts grow
sick and bring tears to many longing,
watchful, wistful eyes.
THE NEWS urges upon friends 10
Idaho, all Idaho, to drop line or two
If not more, to their friends or acquaint-
ances as token OF kindly rememb rance
and of friendly feeling. Send them
papers, Give them some expressions
OF remembrance. and of love. Such
TOKENS will cheer them while they up
hold the nations flag and the nation
honor. If they cannot answer all the
communications it will not be because
they DO not appreciate the news from
home. Yes, write to the soldier boys:
everyone will be glad to get letter.
Take our advice and write letters, and
you will hear OF the fruits of your bread
cast on the waters in days TO come.
Write, yes write. even II you never
knew them we'll at home.

The Peace Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The pres
sence of Senator Davis, one of the
members Of the peace commission, at
the capital today was the cause of more
or less peace speculation among Sepa-
tors. 1t is the intention of Davis to
ask the committee on foreign relations
to take up the treaty as soon as re-
ceived from the President. There will
be an effort On the part of friends Of
the treaty to have it reported without
any amendment whatever, and they as
sert the commission as whole is favor
able to the ratification without eltera-
tions. One present plan of the Sena-
tors opposed to the straight ratification
is to urge the insertion of an amend
ment providing in specific terms that
the United States shall not acquire
sovereignty over the Philippines
islands under any circumstance
Friends OF the treaty urge that it, be-
ing peace treaty, is more important
to have it ratified Internationally than
would he the case with an ordinary
agreement between nations, and for
this reason they are confident it will
not be modified, and in the end will Sc
cure the voice Of number of Senators
who personally would prefer its amend
ment. The opponents Of the treaty say
they do not anticipate long debate in
the Senate.

Prompt Payment of a Big Sum

Dec. 4th Rouse Hazard & Co. mail
ed their attorney a Chicago draft
for ST., S1096. payable to the Western
Wheel Works, that being the amount
which had been in litigation between
the two Companies for several years.
The ability of Rouse Hazard & Co. to
forward this large sum just at this
season of the year, when the pay rolls
and other expenses of Bicycle Manu-
facturers are very large, and receipts
very small, is certainly a most con-
vincing evidence of the solvency of
one of the oldest bicycle concerns in
the United States. OF the manufacture
ers and jobbers of bicycles who were
in business when Rouse Hazard & Co
entered that line, more than IS years
ago, the number that still exist can
be counted on the fingers of one hand
Rouse Hazard & Co.report that their
present prospects are the brightest OF
any time during all the years they
| have been in business. They now have
| bona fide orders from gilt-edged con.
Germs for larger number of machines
| than they ever had orders for at any
one time. Their export trade has beer
