"You might not believe it." he continued. but the thicker the soles of his shoes the larger the city from which he comes. In New York it is almost q fad, and the soles of the shoes there are exceedingly heavy. They are almost as heavy in Chica- 20. Men there wear shoes to pro- tect their feet. They have not time enough. it seems. tn bother with rubhers. So they make one pair of shoes do the work for all kinds of weather.

ford, of Missouri, wishes to investigate the con-
ditIon of the Panama Railway Company. and

lieyes that the maintenance OF the New-York
Offices of the company at an expense of approx
imately $2o0000 a year is as unnecessary as it
is extrayagant and that the removal of the
headquarters of the railroad TO the canal zone,
under the management of the chief engineer in
charge of the canal construction. might be to
tba interest Of the government.

speech and they declared that they must have
time 10 think il over. 1t is seldom that Presi-
Dental message is mentally digested within a
few hours after it is first read and never was

ROosevelts Message furnished more food for
hard thinking and serious consideration than
any State paper in recent years was generally
admitted.
Some members of the lower chamber were
frank and free In their expressions of admira-
tion. but generally speaking the consensus of
opinion seemed to be: This is a very important
document. It marks the parting Of the ways
We must think it over.
From the Democrats was heard considerable

bureau offers TO the Congress the means OF get

the line of thought which dictated the remainder
of this section Of the message. and to the ieW
who perceived or thought they perceived In II

who seemed to note the paragraph as being oI
special importance. but it is certain thAt carry
