Their AK to Grind

Certain newspapers In the state are

That these newspapers have an Ak
to grind is the well-grounded opinion
Of many people of the state. These

belittling any official or institution

the state or even In the city In which
they are published. To offend one OF
them is to bring the walls OF news
paper wrath on ones head. Those
papers bitterly opposed the nomina.
tion and election of Gov. Osborn and
they have followed him all through
his administration, the main reason
seems to be that he did not seek their
advice, but carried out his own opin-
ions, and he has certainly accomplish,

beneficial for the people and has

will also see the necessity OF quelling

that the prisoners at Jackson have
been treated to all the modern
methods OF kindness that II was pos

regret that the. prison could not bc

There has been much sentiment ex

a hope that such a plan may yet be
put In operation In Michigan, but II
can only be possible success under
a close plan of segregation.
Out Of the thousands Of prisoners
in the state only the best could be
