Death of Mrs. Piper.

Monango, Feb. Last Monday the
grim Angel of Death was an unpleas-
ant caller in our midst and took from
US Mrs. Emily Louise Baron Piper.
Mrs. Piper was born in London, Eng
land, on July 2, 1861. She came to the
United States in 1892, and was united
in holy matrimony on December 31st,
1895, to Dell B. Piper, now one of our
foremost merchants. The deceased
passed away at the family home here
on the third day of February, 1913, af-
ter long and painful illness.
Rev. M. w. Merrell administered the
last holy sacrament to the deceased on
Saturday morning.
The funeral sermon was conducted
at the Presbyterian church on Wednes-
day afternoon at the hour of 2:3O, Rev.
M. w. Merrell officiating. The re-
mains were laid to rest in the Monango
cemetery.

HOTEL HOME
CHANGES HANDS
Peter Jensen, One of Our
Pioneers, Becomes the
New Proprietor.
Mr.. Stevens Will Move to
California to Look After
Holdings There.

The Home Hotel has changed hands.
G. M. Stevens, who has made the
Home what it is, will retire and will be
succeeded as proprietor by Peter Jen-
sen. Mr.. Jensen traded in his half
section of land west of the city. and
the stock and farm machinery on the
place, also quarter section of land
near Medina. The purchase price of
the hotel, including the four lots, was
S24, ,0OO
When Mr.. Stevens took hold of the
property it was known as the Exchange
Hotel. He changed the name and kept
adding on until it ran clear to the alley
and the main part was three stories
high. For some time Mr.. Stevens has
had the California fever. He was there
last winter and it had improved his
health so much that he came back with
the intention of disposng of his hotel
and moving to California, where he
had already invested in 200 acres of
fruit land north of San Diego. Mrs.
Stevens went there early in the winter.
Charley is loading carload of goods
and intends leaving Saturday for his
California home. His daughters,
Misses Bessie and Daisy, will follow in
March. Roy, who is now with the
hotel, will move on the Jensen farm,
and manage it for his father.
Peter Jensen is one of our pioneers.
About five years ago he sold his quarter
section northwest of the city and
moved to Oregon, where with his fam
lily he expected to make new home.
Not finding the West to his liking he
came back and bought the Berggren
half section, farm as close to his old
place as he could get. j. d. Scott, for
time at least, will assist Mr.. Jensen
in the management of the hotel.

What Resolution Charges.

''The resolution charges me with
four things: first, that it is currently
reported am engaged in the private
practice of law and have an office
down town. II seems to me that it is
hardly necessary to appoint an inves-
tigatlng committee to discover if such
be true.
II have at all times had and main
tained private office down tow,
where conduct my private practice
through my partner and the location
of my offices is well known, contain
my firm name advertisement in several
places. and we advertise IN the papers
so it would seem that it was entirely
unnecessary to waste the state money
by appointing an investigating commit
tee to discover this fact.
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1913-02-13
As to Stenographer.

Fourth, that had for many days
used one of my stenographers who was
being paid by the state in my down
town office in connection with my pri-
vate business.
'The author of the resolution, with
out the necessity of the committee of
investigation, knew full we'll that there
was no law in this state preventing me
from engaging in the private practice
of law.
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1913-02-13
What the Law Provides.

con the contrary the law expressly
contemplates that should do so for
the bill that fixes my salary, when in
troduced contained clause in it which
proposed to fix the salary of the at
torney general at SIS, 900 per year with
a provision that he should not engage
in the private practice of law. The
legislature purposely and Intentionally
struck out the $4,000 provision, and
also that providing that I should not
engage in private practice, and fixed
the salary it thought adequate without
requiring me to give up my private
practice.
"He also knew that there was no
law in this state prohibiting either of
my assistants from engaging in private
practice, that every attorney general
of this state prior to my incumbency of
the office had engaged in private prac-
tice during the term of his office.

THE oAkEs TIMES SIPS A YEAR
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1913-02-13
As to the Assistants.

"Second, it charges chat my two as
sistant attorneys general are also en-
gagged in private practice in addition
to their official duties. Inasmuch as
both of these men also have well
known offices down town, and adver-
tise, It tseems that it would not be ne
cessary to expend the states money in
discovering this important fact.
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1913-02-13
At Work on State Business

HHe could also have discovered bv
interviewing me on the subject with
out the necessity of an investigating
committee, and have learned that some
of the states business has been carried
on by me, at times, at my down town
office, and that at times when | am
there l have had one of my stenog-
raphers there at my service, and if he
had any desire to know the truth, he
would also have known that the busi-
ness of the state has not been ne
elected either by myself or assistants
at any time, that in the payment of nv
clerical help have neven exceeded the
appropriation made by the legislature
for that purpose, or in fact used it all.
II do this year, as well as in the
past welcome any investigation of nv
Office, and will be glad to aid the COM

No Apartments at Capitol.

Third, it charges that l have fitted
up at the capitol three rooms which
are used for the personal use and ben
eft of myself and assistants with any
stenographlc help.
"When the author introduced that
resolution he knew this statement was
a bare faced falsehood, without any
facts whatever to warrant it, and fur
ther, that there is not, and never has
been, such report current. There
fore it should not be necessary to ex-
pend the states money in investigation
of this report.
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1913-02-13
Knew Import OF Charges
StalWarts Not HIT.

"Two years ago a similar resolution
of investigation was introduced in the
legislature, and under its provisions no
officer was investigated except those
who were known to he progressive re-
publicans. The office of no stalwart
republican was investigated. The
same is true this year. | do not intend
further to rest without public protest
against such condition.

MOTHER Of FIVE
URGES REFORM
IN COURTSH|P
Disregards Spooning Crusade to
Denounce ParIor Manners of
Her Daughters Wooers.

II was ever thus. Out in the red
hills of Georgia the call is for re
fawm." In the elegant city parlors
! clubwomen suavely discuss reform
Of everything from the slit skirt to
the ballot. Atlanta policemen are
tainted. thoroughly with the reform
bacteria, until you can no more kiss
the lady of your heart than you could
tousle the mustache of Chief Beavers
with impunity.
The wonder of it is how September
Morn got by
1t is everywhere thus in Georgia.
Therefore. the crusade that was be-
gun to-day by mother In Rome, Ga,
is no more than consistent. Here's
is a real reform, aimed at what she
says Is the bad manners of the young
men Of Rome who call on her daugh-
tiers.
They smoke cigarettes in her parIor,
these young men. and very non
Chalantly. after they have known her
daughter Elizabeth ten minutes, call
her Lizzie or Liz. All this the moth
er considers improper
In a statement ito the public"
meaning the mother public, she is
asking that a stop be put to all this.
Her Beatrice" must not be "Trixy"
to practical strangers, and the picture
of her grandfather that hangs sedate-
ly over the parlOr mantel must not be
wreathed in cigarette smoke And it
seems hard that she should be forced
to view through the smoke pail the
figures of languid young men with
their feet on her parlOr chairs
At least there should be no doubt
that this mother in Rome, who gives
the only hint of her Identity by sign
ing herself "A Mother of Five Daush-
tiers, has worthy reform to advo-
cate. The Woman's Club of Rome
will consider It when next its mem
bers meet, and the eloquent appeal
of the Mother of Five Daughters"
TO clubwomen everywhere in Georgia,
is likely to have an effect in regener-
ating the parlor manners of Georgia
youths.
