Too Practical.

America, thanks to the immortal Wright brothers. gave flying to the world. but France has now forged far ahead of America in flying, the reason being that American capital and Amer ican energy will busy themselves only with things that pay.
 Apropos Of Americas present sorry place in the world of flying and it's cause, Thomas A. Edison recently ut. tered the following epigram:
 "We don't fly well here because we have too many practical men. Practical men, you know laugh at the poor pio- neers Of today while they grow rich from carrying on the work of the poor pioneers of yesterday. ."-New York Tribuns.

WAPELLO COUNTY, OWATUEsDAY FEBRUARY 1914
Declines to Accept Post
as Ambassador to Russia
PlNDElL REFUSES POSITION ON
GROUNDS THAT 1T MIGHT
EMBARRASS WILSON.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.-Henry
M. Pindell of Peoria. Ill.,, who was re-
Gently nominated and confirmed as am
bassador to Russia has declined the
appointment, according to a letter to
the president, made public at the white
house today. Mr.. Pindell wrote Presi-
dent Wilson that although the senate
had investigated accusations in con-
nection with his appointment, he felt.
nevertheless that no controversy OF
any kind should surround the appoint
ment Of any ambassador as it was
liable to be understood abroad.
The president, in letter of regret,
accepted Mr.. Pindell's declination.
The controversy over Mr.. Pindells
nomination grew out Of publication or
what purported to be letter from
Senator Lewis of Illinois, to Mr.. PIN
dell urging the latter to accept the
post of ambassador to Russia for a
year and saying he would be relieved
of responsibility for important nego-
tiations and could travel free any
where in Europe. Senator Lewis
charged that the letter was forgery
and Secretary Bryan later in public
statement reiterated that the circum
