Socialists of Colorado Nlme for Gov1r-

held a convention in Denver and nom

William D. Haywood, secrecary-treas-

whose personal integrity is without
stain.
"A mau whose hands have betn.
calloused by honest labor and whose.
very heart throbs in sympathy with.
those who toll. A man who has never
been praised by the capitalist press
as the greatest labor leader in the
world, but who, as a labor leader.
has never betrayed his trust nor sod

his loyalty to the working class, has.
been struck down by brutal soldieyy

jail"
Mr.. Martin declared that the work

to Haywood and that he would he.
elected Concluding, he said:
And if they refuse to release him
we may feel impelled to march to,
Idaho, and take our chief executive by
force If necessary out of the teeth

THE DEAF AND BLIND
Of United States Given in Special Re-
port Just Issued From the
Census Bureau.

/
About one person in every 1900
was blind and one in every $50 per-
sons was dumb in the United States
in 1900, according TO a special cen
sus report on the blind and deaf in
the United States in that year, just
issued by the census Office at Wash
ington. The inquiry was conducted
under the direction OF DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell
The total number of blind in the
United States in 1900 was 64,763, of
whom 35,645 were totally blind, and
29,118 partially blind. OF the total
blind 37,054 were males and 27,703
females Almost 65 per cent OF the
blind became blind after 20 years of
age. About one-tenth of the total
number of blind were born so. The
ton Was greater among the negroes
than among the whites. In about )
per cent OF the cases OF blindness re-
ported the parents OF the blind were
cousins. Of the blind whose parents
were so related rs per cent were con-
CENTRALLY blind, while among the blind
whose parents were not cousins the
proportion c0ngenitally blind was only
SIS per cent. OF the blind at least 10
years OF age, 20 per cent were en-
gagged in some gainful occupation. The
percentage OF persons engaged in
the professional pursuits, trade
larger among the totally blind than
among the general population.
Deafness, on the whole, the report
says, is more common in the north
ern part Of the United States than
in the southern, and there are more
males than females. The total num-
Der of deaf in the United States is
given as 89,2S7, OF which 37248 were
totally deaf and 51,861 partially dear.
From the latter class, however, are
eliminated those merely hard of
hearing"
The census report of 1890 gave the
number of persons deaf as 121,17S
and the opinion is expressed that the
returns for 1890 are undoubtedly ex-
cessive while those for 1900 are de-
fcient. Of the totally deaf 52.5 per
cent were males. Negroes constitute
116 per cent OF the general pOpula-
ton and only 90 per cent OF the
deaf. That the negroes seem less sus-
ceptible to deafness than the whites,
the report says, is probably due in
part to less complete returns for the
negro deaf OF the totally deaf 81 per
cent were from childhood Cunder 20
years OF age) and SO per cent from
birth OF the S9,2S7 persons returned |
as deaf, 55,5O1 were able to speak
well, 9,417 imperfectly, and the re
mainder not at all
Heredity has played a part in pro- /
ducing congenitaI deafness, and the |
deafness occurring in adult life; |
whereas deafness occurring in early !
childhood after birth and under the
age Of five, is probably to a large ex-
tent adventitious.
OF those at least ten years Of age
among the deaf, $50 per cent were
gainfully employed as compared with
502 per cent among the general pop
uIation.
