peace at any price, and at which he
advocated disarmament and arbitra
tion, he still continues to store up wal
supplies. A cargo of guns, ammu
milton, torpedoes, etc, weighing 10 the
aggregate 5000 tons was shipped from
Philadelphia this week consigned ia
the Russian government.

The new year Is likely TO see the
money in circulation in the United
States near to the o.. 100000, 900 mark
The figures on November 1st were
si ,962, ,7i6,1 Add to this the s25,.
0OO, 900 put into circulatio nthrough the
redee.ning Of outstanding bonds by the
treasury department, and the constant
increase In the country's circulation
as registered fiom month TO month,
and II seems likely that MIR. Bryan will
soon be confronted with circulation
81 900, ,000, 900, Notwithstanding his
continuous perfor nance" statement
since 1895, that no increase was posi-.
BILE without the free coinage of silver,
and at which time the country's circu.
lation was but s1 ,827 ,055,6l4.
The presidents message which was
sent to congress this week was without
doubt the longest and ablest document
OF that character ever sent by presi-
dent OF the United States to congress-
The message fully demonstrates the
policy Of the administration on all
questions concerning the welfare of
the government, together with recon
mendations to congress for action as:to
our future welfare. Our new posses.
sions are treated at length and the
future government OF them outlined.
The message contains over 10000
words, and were we to publish 1t, it
would occupy over twenty. one col.
umns of The CHIEF, or nearly four
pages, hence it does not appear in this
issue.
There Is an old saying that 1t takes
all kinds OF people with all kinds OF
ideas to make world, and we have
about come to the conclusion that 1t is
a very true saying, One place this
was noticeable was at the sale Of "un.
express matter" held In this
city last Friday. Among the bidders
was noticed some who have recently
entered strenuous protests against
someone else putting five cents in q
slot machine to try and get five cigars
for a nickle, but they consider it all
right to buy "prize packages" at any
old price md take chance on getting
four or five times their moneys worth.
There is just as ihuch gambling about
trying to get four or five times your
moneys worth out of an 'unclaimed
express package" as there is in trying
to get five times your moneys worth
out OF u nicklein. the.slot machine
and the chances of winning is largely
in favor of the latter.
All the slot machines In this city
were recently ordered taken down for
the reason that they educated children
to gamble. Still there are slot ma.
chimes up in the city in which a child
can drop q penny and get stick of
gum. These IN our opinion, are the
very foundation of children learning
to play slot machines. They are made
principally for children. They put
penny in one Of these machines and
get stick Of gum, and the next time
they run across n slot machine the
probabilities are that they will drop a
nickle in to see what they can get. II
you don't want children to learn to
play slot machines don't have machines
setting around that offers stick Of
gum AS an iGducement for them to
drop In their penny, and then prob.
ably when they see another kind of
slot machine they will not be induced
to try and get something else.

From reports received up to date it
is hard to decide who will be senator
from Nebraska to succeed Nj. l.. Hay.
ward who died Tuesday morning. One
thing Is almost certain, and that is
that 1t will not be republican. Hitch
cock, of the World-Herald, had a good
sized boom started for himself before
the news of Senator Haywards death
had become known to the general
public, and had allies in all the i'm
