The Specialized Bear.

The specialized bear of Ecuador is
so called because of patch of white
around each eye, which makes the
animal look as though he was peering
through a pair of great spectacles.
In size and general color the spec
tacled bear looks not unlike the Amcri-
can black bear. But it's hair is very
shaggy. At each side of the head is a
white bar. which gives the animal the
appearance of wearing a halter But
the most distinctive feature is tho
white around the eyes.

CRAWFORD ON GOOD ROADS.

Editor Register: One Of the ques-
tions that has been before the people
of the United States for quite awhile,
and that has engaged some of the
largest gatherings and called together
the Governors of several states at a
time and place, is that of good roads.
The last session Of our legislature
tried to find a common ground, so as to
unite in a general enactment along
harmonious lines for good roads. 1t
goes without saying that their task
was a most difficult one, their enact
ment, was perhaps, not as a whole,
just such a law as to please anyone
legislator in every particular. But it
was n give and take. When you at
once attempt to climb straight up out
of ruts centuries old i, is not to be
marveled at that there will be kickers,
no difference how much superior the
new way may be. Some men are so
constituted that they cannot tell the
sum of 2 and 2. All under the sun
that they do know is to live like a
hog, raise their families without any
knowledge of the world in general and
If there should happen to be a widow
and some little fatherless children,
they watch to get a part or all of their

AT a special meeting of the direct

"At a special meeting of the direct
ors of the Northwestern Life Insurance
company, of Aberdeen, Tuesday eve
ming Senator George w. Wright, of
Huron was elected second v~ice-presi-
dent and Alvin W.. Price Of Athol
third vice-president. First Vice Pres
ident +. w. Webb, of Hitchcock was
also present from out of the city,
while the local directors, Messrs, Bry-
ant, Hutson, Rock and Suttle were all
present.
The new men will become actively
associated with the company in de
veloping a line of business which
promises to make the local company
the big one of the state.
Mr.. Wright is especially we'll vers-
ed upon insurance matters as was
demonstrated by the fact that he was
appointed chairman Of the senate
committee on insurance at the legis-
lative session and he did meritorious
work in that capacity. He will have
charge of the affairs of the company
in the south half of the state. Mr..
Price has recently sold an interest in
his mercantile business to a manag-
ing partner and will 10Y devote his
entire time to the company's affairs.
These gentlemen are e~minently fitted
for their respective positions and a
great boom is looked for in the local
company's business.
The aggressive policy of the pres
ent company is making good. 1t is
proving itself and the people of South
Dakota will do well to realize this
fact"

This is written for a man that possess

but one conclusion: The man who
is kicking for the old system and
against the new does not desire to
give value for value, and that is all
that there is to it. Compromise
enactments and the future Will amend
the present enactment. Now if it de-
yelops that there are enough pure
hogs, real old fogies, back in ruts of
the past centuries, no doubt they can
hold our county out as a laughing
stock and the butt of ridicule for the
whole state, yes and more than this
state because Brookings and Brook
ings county are known away as well
as at home and there are some of the
actions of the past that many would
change if they could. The Good
Roads question is here to stay. why
not all assist to settle it the right
and best way.
Listen! A whole lot of you voted in
an early days against erecting a
court house, but a court house had to
be erected and the kickers helped to
build it, ha, ha. Last year some of you
kicked again, but what good did it do
you. Now then you can kick and
make a whole lot of trouble, but if you
do, you will get the worst trCuncing
that you have ever had in this county.
The people are moving toward a
true line and if the present enactment
proves defective we will amend it.
Probably there are very few men in
the county that understand the pres.
ent law. why kick until you know
what the provisions of the law are.
1t is all proper to kick provided the
majority is with you or provided the
merits OF the question is with you
but when you do not understand the
question, when the fog is so thick
above your head that you can not see
the bright shining sun above, you bet
ter find a very small pail of butter
milk and soak your head. Get the
~barnacles off. Boys, line up, lets have
a scrap and have a good one. This
county has become somewhat mott
eaten.
Get out the "holy stone and polisl
the deck. When the session laws ar,
printed and We can all study the ex
act letter of the law, We may all b,
found more friendly to the law
Paying money for the road tax seemi
to be the great sticker, but when yo,
realize that you can do a piece o
road work, get your credit and thel
months afterward pay your tax. /
