the railroads by injunction and car

to $2OO0O,000.
Six months ago the Supreme Court

PINDE.IlTfS CHOICE.

The most commendable sacrifice for the good
of the service" that has ever come beneath our
notice is that In which Henry NJ. Pindell de-
clined the appointment as ambassador to St
Petersburg because of an attack made upon his
character That the attack proved to be
without foundation makes difference to Mr..
Pindell; the very fact of the attack might have
caused the United States embarrassment in the
future and rather than run the slight risk of
becoming an embarrassment to his country Mr..
pinde1 refused TO accept the most desirable post.
The attack on Mr.. Pindel was based a
letter written him by Senator James Hamilton
Lewis. in which 1t claimed political bar
gain was made to the effect that II Mr.. Pindell
supported Senator Lewis the senator would in
turn push his ambition to become ambassador to
great world power. The investigation showed
that the political bargain did not exist and that
Mr.. Pindel the victim Of misrepresentation
His nomination was accepted by the senate and
Mr.. Pindell was notified of his appointment.
In refusing the nomination for the reasons
given Mr. Pindell showed himself great man.
He set aside his great ambition for patriotic
reasons but what he lost by the sacrifice should
be more than compensated by what he gained in
public esteem.
Woodrow Wilson, president of the United
States, appreciated Mr.. Pindells course and
In his usual aighttothe-point style, voiced
the sentiment of the American people when he
wrote to Mr.. Pindell in regard TO the matter:
Your letter does great credit to your delicate
sense of propriety and serves to increase II
that were possible, my admiration for you and
my confidence In you"
