A DEMOCRATIC TRIBUTE.

In an editorial on Michigan and
Some Recent Governors" the jack
son Patriot. Democratic in politics, has
this reference to Governor Osborn:
Governor Osborn has been i'm Office
less than six months, and during that
time has grown in the estimation of
citizens who care more for the honor
of the state than they do for party
success. He has proved his ability,
courage and efficiency i'm advocating
what he regards as right and wise, and
i'm doing this has gained "a national
putation-something that has been
unknown among Michigan governors
for many years
I'VE notice an occasional criticism
that he has failed To carry into effect
the leading reforms that he advocated.
This however, does not appear to have
resulted from any neglect on his part.
He had a legislature TO deal with that
was hostile TO him, and he received
no cooperation from other officials of
the state administration The incubus
.of Warnerism hung like a deadening
pail over the legislature. and TO
.thwart Osborn was the chief purpose
.of a majority of the members of the
state senate with the material that
the voters placed in power at Lam

achieve the desired success. But the

has awakened will, ere long. place

MICHIGAN BLIND PEOPLE.

The Michigan Employment lnstitu-
ton for the Blind secured recently
from Washington the census returns
ON the blind people or those of de-
fective sight sufficient To have them
ciassed as blind people in the state
of Michigan. The total number re-
ported was 1908. The population of
Michigan is 2,S1O17S. Prior 10 the
last census the ratio of blind people
TO sighted people was l To 1000 of
population. The figures quoted above
show that i'm Michigan il is 6 10 TO-
coo populations or 60 per cent of what
has been counted as the average. If
the figures for the entire country were
obtainablc they might show that there
has been decrease in the ratio of
blind people to sighted people. This
would be reasonable TO expect in view
of the advance i'm the science of pre-
venting and relieving blindness. II is
perhaps more probable that conditions
i'm Michigan arc more favorable To
normal sight than the average in the
entire country.
Michigan is dealing very literally
with its blind. The school for the
blind at Lansing ranks among the best
in the country and the Michigan En-
ployment Institution for the Blind.

of the adult blind was the first state
