An Observer Seeks to Point Out
Lessons From Boardman Tax Suit.
Editor Times Republican-Deac Sir:
Referring to an article appearing in
your columns, regarding the rumored
intentions of Mrs. c. H. Conover as
concerns Marshalltown. the headlines,
Is Opportunity Lost?" put to the read
ers of the Times-Republican, invites
some answer. Undoubtedly there are
others more capable of rising to explain
certain points concerning the matter,
and showing the reasons pro or con, as
TO why such actions should or should
not be taken. To those 1 would leave
that part. But to the casual reader
and from his standpoint it would seem
and as one of the many I would write
my Views in answer thus:
First-Thousands OF men have passed
away leaving great wealth to be dis
bursed in charities, philanthropic and
progressive channels, TO relatives and
friends. Others drop from life in this
world without even sign or expression
of interest in how the accumulated
wealth shall be diverted, and still oth-
|ers have executed the last will and tes-
lament of power, influencing and di-
recting from beyond the grave the acts
of beneficiaries. MIR. III. f. j. Board
man was one of this last class. A sue
cessful man In business, a cultured and
more than ordinary thinker, a power
full, masterful man in the higher themes
of civilzation; yet with all. reserved
and conservative. Wrapt in the cloak
of his own varied interests and abb
tn mi /, In, Of h
studies and books, beyond the favored
few of family and friends, the people
at large, had but slight opportunity to
know personally and Intimately the real
heart feelings. the motive or cause, as
to why he did or did not do this or that.
Every man with wealth and position
has his own battle for supremacy. and
must defend himself against the vi
cious, the cunning. the wolf and robber
of the times. He will make enemies
of the many, and friends of but few.
Because he necessarily is ever vigilant
and on his guard to protect his possess
sons with the diplomacy of prudence.
Having succeeded in becoming a man
OF wealth, having won the battle for
position, perhaps the effort had beer
frought with much of experience, the
gaining of which had served to isolate
him from the people among whom his
success was builded. Or, again, per-
haps the effort had brought him into
contact so closely that he felt no need
of placing a monument to his memory.
We may form favorable or adverse
opinions as to that. But fact remains
to prove that In his power. to give and
OF his own free will no evidenos y left
