Herald Pulillililng Omipnnj1. THURHDAV, (MTOIIKH If), IDS A newspaper is quite a bit differ ent from any other line of business. When onco established In a good live, thriving community it goes on forever while other lines of business tuny come and go. The newspaper 'may change management occassional ly, but tho same old paper Is Issued and reac: week after week and year after year. There is no use getting poeved at tho editor. If be starves out, there I always seme one to take his place. You may kill off nil tho editors you please, but when ,you come to kill off a well established newspaper you may Just as well gtvo up, for some day It Is going to publish your obituary. s'i pj The state school fund provides that no loan In excess ot $3,000 ran be made to any single Individual from the Irreducible school fund on farm lands not to exceed one third tho value of tho property. The records show that In November, 1903, Mr, Plerco deeded to relatives and friends five tracts of land, on each of which $5,000 was borrowed from Moonshine Whiskey Is Raising Death Rntc 11 TTi:. .Mont , Oct ll iMoon shine whiskey l- r:ilnlli; lh death mark In Huttn at tin alarming ra rand unnatural iuoi have Joined with Illicit Honor In sending 10 yunro local people to their grate dttrluR tho flrttl nine mouths of UiU Viltll lllMIl llltl'ttlir titrt t'ltliii llitl'iml III ' i i !( it I 4 it ; tut' tnir !

It Is time to stop petty bUkerlns .mid start building for the city that b to. bo. oeen secured, tho property was deeded back to Pierce, who assum ed tho mortgages. In addition, Mr. Pierce himself borrowed another $0,000, making la all 30,00Q of state money secured by Mr, Plerco of which $25,000 was In open viola tion of tho law, whose object Is to assist the small farmer, not tho bo nanza rancher or land loan shark. Decauso Mr. Plerco got more than his share of money other farmers of tho state were denied state loans. The state law requires that the loans bo made for not over 10 years, but the records show that Mr. Plerco did not pay up tho $30,000 borrpwed until September, 1915 twelve years after the loans wcro se cured. The county records also show many transactions wherein Mr. Pierce was loaning money at S and 10 per cent during this Interval, sometimes as high as $20,000 at a cup, ior air. i-iorcc accummuiaiou his wealth as a farm loan shark and not as a farmer. Mr. Plerco admits that tho charg es made are true, declaring that se curing $23,000 from the state by fraud was not hs worst deed. He declarod "If that was the worst act "t ever committed In this state, 1 1 would go to heaven la a white sheet."
