"A letter addressed to the postmaster at Youngstown containing certain questions bearing upon the necessity of a new building failed to elicit a reply."
"I am satisfied that the appropriation of $75,000 for a building at Youngstown is at present not justified."
"The utmost liberality to those who were in our Army hardly justifies a compensation by way of pension for injuries incurred in sport or pastime or as the result of a practical joke."
"There does not seem to be any governmental purpose to which such a building could be properly devoted except the accommodation of the post-office."
