Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1905-09-27

In the question and answer depart
ment Of one Of the most popular
monthly magazines we came across
the following case: A woman, the wife
Of minister, had written to the maya
zine and its readers saying that her
conscience troubled her and she would
like to state the cause and see If some
one would not advise way out Of the
difficulty. 1t seems that this worthy
woman possessed railroad stocks to the
amount Of $4,000, on which she had
never paid any tax whatever. HeB
husband being of that denomination of
ministers who change their pastorate
about every two years, the tax collect
ors had never, it seems, been able to
locate this $4,000. Consequently the
lady had never been called upon for
taxes, though, as she expressed it, she
had never made any effort either to
make known or conceal the fact that
she possessed the property. Notwith-
standing that this lady was aware she
possessed goods upon which the law
prescribed that she should pay a tax,
she wrote to a magazine asking the
editor and the public to. help her out of
the difficulty.
In principle the above case is very
common. The person in question
would no doubt scorn to steal $40 and
would have resented the imputation
that she was dishonest. Like the man
who has been overpaid in transac-
tion or the making of change. she was
willing to profit by the ignorance Of
the tax collector, provided it entailed
no overt act Of dishonesty on her part.
This is a test before which many peo-
pie fall, yet the truth is plain to see.
Honesty is not q matter to be deter
mined by the public but to be decided
by the individual who is concerned.
Neither can one person excuse or pal
late his acts by citing the example Of
another's wrong action. The meeting
Of such questions as the above in
wolves character, and character is q
thing which must be worked out by
the independent acts and decisions Of
its possessor. A pernicious but entic-
ing theory is that which holds that dis
honesty comes only with detection.

DYKES REAL SON
E OF THE REVOLUTION
Capt. NAPLES OF Virginia Now 80 Years
Old-Story of His Fathers
Escape.

ONANCOCk. Va, Nov. lT.-Capt.
Edward Iiassett NAPLES, of Cnancock,
50 years old. is. one of the few living
sons OF revolutionary fathers. He is
Il son OF Lieut.. Samuel Naples, who
fought under Washington in the war
for independence.
Lieut.. Map.es was u native oi the
county Of Accomac and enlisted in his
2lSt year in the Ninth Virginia regi.
ment. marched with his command to
Philadelphia to join the Continental
army, under command of Gen Nathan
iel Greene. His regiment fought ut
B~randywine and Germantown. At the
latter place the Ninth Virginia was
cut 20 pieces after fierce fighting. and
many Were taken prisoners by the
British, among them Lieu. NAPLES.
The prisoners were carried to Phil
adelphia and put i'll an upper room.
Lieut.. NAPLES made his escape in a
most daring manner. He had served
an apprenticeship in Philadelphia and
while there boarded with Mrs. Jones
q true advocate of freedoms cause.
Mrs. Jones, hearing Of Lieut.. NAPLES
cauturc, went TO see him. She car
ried Il suit OF Quaker clothes and took
his battle Scared ones home to mend.
The lieutenant was the object of much
sport from his comrades OH o
of his e clothes.
One day. however, Col. Chopper. a
fellow prisoner, seized a Quaker hat
from another prisoner, gave it to
Lieut.. NAPLES, and old him TO go
down and make his escape. The lieu
tenant, taking the colonel at his word,
started downstairs. A British officer
at the foot of the steps thinking the
lieutenant was q real Quaker, collarel
him and demanded TO know his bust
ness. The officer reprimanded the
eel t"r letting the man pass up
to the prisoners. took the supposed
Quaker to the door, gave him a kick
and told him never to be seen there
again.
Lient. NAPLES made his way to the
Jones home, where he found several
British officers quartered. Mrs. Jones,
for fear of detection. made a servant
oi the lieutenant. The next morning
she fixed up a market basket, put it
on the arm of the soldier and escort
ed him out of the city on a ~foraging
expedition. Soon finding him clear of
danger of arrest by the soldiers, Lieut..
NAPLES made his way to Valley Forge.
Lieut.. NAPLES had n son In the war
Of 1912. He was Il life long Democrat
end in his day one of the leaders OF
that party.
Capt. l.. b. Naples is still active.
He travels for n nursery house and
rides a bicycle twenty miles in n day.
He prides himself on being the only
man in the United States over so
years of age who can ride a wheel
