CataIepsy ARD Death.

1t is a frightful thing to think of and
yet it is imperative that it should be
thought of, and thought of most SER
iously. On an average it is accidentally
discovered about once in a week in the
United States that person pronounced
dead by physicians has not been dead,
but only an a cataleptic state. The
large number of accidental disco cries of
this sort suggests the appalling number
of cases there undoubtedly are in which
the discovery is never made, but the
patient while iii a cataleptic state is
either killed by an autopsy, or by an
ice pack, or by injecting the poisonous
embalming Auid into the veins, or by
cremation or burial.
Having made rather careful study
of the symptoms of approaching cat
alepsy, we could not fail to note that
they were the very symptoms which
preceded the condition which Senator
Hanna'S physicians pronounced to be
death He may have been dead, for
there is absolutely no difference, SO far
rs yet observed, between the appear
ance of one in Il profound cataleptic
sleep sud one actually dead, Is it not
an awful thing to trust so implicitly
TO appearances in Serch matters One
of the best authorities on the subject
declares that, except in the average
case incipient decomposition is the on y
sure proof of death.
Catalepsy is absolute rest of all the
vital organs. 1t is natures remedy for
restoring the functions of life, wasted
in an effort to fight disease. And in the
few cases where those who have fallen
into cataleptic sleep have been fortu-
nate enough TO have their true eondi-
ton discovered before being killed they
have been benefited and restored 10
good health by this wonderful remedy
of mother nature.

Let us Not be Ungratefu1.

EDITOR PILOT.
We are glad to see signs in American
newspapers. both democratic and re-
publican, of a sober second thought as
to the sentiment which ought to prevail
throughout this country, and among all
our citizens, regarding the present war
between Russia and Japan. Our SYM
pathy with either one of those nations
will effect nothing But it is worth
something to us to be decent, and not
go into ecstacies of ingratitude when
Russia suffers defeat. Russia, the
only friend we had among all the
nations of the world during our great
Civil war. Let the present generation
the Roosevelts and others, catch from
those who lived through that trying
period, some of the spirit of gratitude
which fills their hearts for Russia, and
which will never die so long as vet
eran of our Civil war lives. Secretary
Moody is to be highly commended for
his words of warning to the present
day generation, against such base in
gratitude as was displayed in open re-
ioicing over the initial successes OF
Japan. Russia has imperative need of
a suitable seaport for her vast Siberian
empire, and surely no American should
be sorry to see her succeed in getting
one there as soon as she can Russia
has been our best friend and our best
customer among all the nations, and it
is the part of deceney, as well as inter.
est, for us TO wish her well.
FAIR PLAY.

As to Advertising.

We sometimes receive inquiries as 10
the standing of persons who advertise
themselves in the newspapers and mag
aznes as Christian Science practition-
ers. We answer these inquiries by say
ing that Christian Scientists do not adj
vertise, and it is safe to assume that the
persons who thus bring themselves to
the attention of the public are not in
any manner identified with our denom
ination nor with its healing work. The
following reference TO the methods en-
ployed BY unauthorized persons who
pose as Christian Scientists. - copied
from a previous issue OF the Sentinel
at is unnecessary for us To say that
methods of advertising akin 10 those OF
quack doctors and vendors of patent
nostrums are not countenanced by
Christian Scientists. On the contrary,
they are reprehended.
Christian Scientists have done all
they properly can do in the way of adj
vertising when they unobtrusively
make known the fact that they hold
themselves in readiness to respond to
calls for healing sickness or otherwise
aiding those who desire such services as
come within their providence or line OF
duty
uC hUONC II d. tAuE lJuA1 % WHICH,
il was written, aud correctly sets forth
the attitude of Christian Scientists as
being one of Willingness and readiness
to help those who desire their ministra-
tions, rather than that of soliciting the
attention and patronage of persons who
may be attracted by skilfu'ly worded
advertisement.
Christian Science healing IS not thing
Of barter and sale; il is a holy ministry
into which greed, selfishness, and self
seeking cannot enter The commercial
ism that bids for patronage aud dollars
is Inconsistent with the true sense OF
ChTist-healing and must ultimately
prove to be q delusion to both practi
toner and patient Christian Scientists

selves of the healing power of this Sci
ence must turn TO 1t naturally and with
out undue influence.

Scientists advertise, the public viii not

Here's To Mr.. Williams.

The democratic leader in the
House gives us real JOY. What Ameri-
can politician since Lincoln has had a
more feIicitous method of expressing
his opinions Mr. Williams has good

can brand. Seriousness and fun are

the resurrection of the currency ques-
ton, in favor of the theory that issues

Hon. GABE BoUCK died at Oshkosh
last Sunday morning, after an illness of
four months. during which time he did
not leave his apartments at the Athearn
hotel. Gabe Bouck was one of the
leading attorneys of Wisconsin and has
been widely known in the state for half
a century.
Col. Bouck was born in Schoharie
county, N. Y, Dec Is, 1925 being the
son of Gov. William G.. Bouek of that
state. He graduated at the age OF 80
from Union college, and came to Wis
consin in 1913, at first locating in Mil
waukee, but removing in 1919 to Osh-
kosh. He was attorney general of
Wisconsin in 1859, was twice mem
Der of the assembly, and speaker of
the house during his second term.
In 1860, att the breaking out of the
rebellion, Mr. Bouck organized the
celebrated Co. Z, of the Second regi-
ment of Wisconsin, which was known
as its color company. After the bat
tie of Shiloh he was commissioned to
reorganize the Eighteenth regiment,
which had sustained severe losses He
performed that task with vigor. fight
ing at the head of his regiment at
Corinth, jackson, Champion Hill,
Vicksburg and Missionary Ridge.
Col. Bouck, in 1864, was an unsuc-
cessful candidate for congress; also in
1874. In both years he made what
might be called phenomenal runs. In
1876 he was elected to the Forty-fifth
congress; reelected in 1878. and two
years later was defeated. Col. Bouck
was a consistent Democrat He was
three times mentioned as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
governor, but each time refused to
allow his name to go before the con-
Yention.
He was a Mason, joining the Oshkosh
lodge in 1S49, In 1852 he was master
of his home lodge, and in 1860 was, at
the age OF 81, elected a grand master

1t is thus true that in some of our laws
we have departed from the ideal of gov
eminent. But these laws have gener-
ally been imposed upon us by selfish
ness and greed, or by the folly of mere
dreamers, not by the conscience and
Intelligence of the people, We have
grown mighty because of freedom, not
because of the residium of paternalism
still remaining in our laws
The wisdom of the ages is ours if we
will but heed it. 1t teaches that man S
greatest good can only be secured
through mans greatest possible free
dom 1t teaches that the personal lib
erty of the citizen is more priceless than
forms of government; that the only re-
straint that should be placed on him is
that which is necessary to protect the
life, liberty and property of his fellow
citizens. 1t teaches that good govern
,ment is not the highly artificial thing
of centralized authority, but a natural
growth and development based upon
individual rights and that 1t is for the
benefit of the individual that govern
ment exists among men. II 1t be a
mere exploitation of some theory or
artifice-an instrument of political pow
err in the hands of rulers, it cannot long
endure.
Good government is not machine
made product it flows from the people
as naturally as the blood flows in their
veins. The only ruler of nation is the
citizen. From him all power should
come; to him all power should yield.
To our profession has been confded a
greater trust than to any other We
should be the great social conserving
force. We are not alone advocates in
the courts, the yokefellows of wrang
ling snitors and their endless wrongs.
In the larger forum of public opinion
we are the advocates of all the rights
of man.
