THE ASTORIAN PUBLISHING CO, GOVERNOR GEKR'8 CANDIDACY. The Salem Statesman chides The As- toriau tor suggesting ' that Governor Geer's candidacy tor the United States senate Is untimely. ; The Statesman teems to be especially put out because this paper suggested that tha govern - or could hardly, with reason, expect his party to kiep him perpetually in of fice just because he had been elected chief exjcuth-e of the state for four years. The Salem paper ' adds that Secretary Dunbar had been holding lu crative office for eight years before ti-pplng into his slate position for another clsht years, and thinks It -remarkable that The Aslorian has no complaint to make on this score. The Statesman does not catch ttw Idea. Governor Geer was nominated and elected by his paity. Four years later he again asked the nomination, which '.vas refused him. His party preferred some other man. Then tae governor came out as a candidate for th senate. The Astorlan'a contention is that the governor appears In the light of an habitual office-seeker In thus trying for the. senatorehip after his party had denied him the renomination. That denial Indicated that the gov ernor was no lonarer satisfactory to his party, and even the astute States man would probably not contend tliat the party would be apt to favor Mr. Geer's senatorial candidacy after turn ing him down for the governorship. To be plain, that turn-down rendered the governor a "dead one." 'Secretary Dunbar's re-election Is no comparison whatever. He was elected and then re elected by the party, hav ing proved a satisfactory candidate and Incumbent Had he been refused the renominatioa he would not have come out for the senatorshlp. . The Sta teaman blandly remarks that Senator Fulton could have brought about the nomination of Tovernor Geer had he so desired, and goes on to say that Mr. Fulton should have followed th) ceuree pursued by the tovernor and placed hiK nam? on the ilcket. If Mr. Fulton dominated the state convention, as the StaUaman would have us be lieve, why did not that body name hjin us the party audldate for senator? This would have b:en a much more sat isfactory nominatloa than that whicn the governor secured for himself. - Governor Geer's candidacy for the United States senate Is not worth con sidering, for he tannot possibly hope for sufficient support to bring about his election. The Statesman says Mr. Ful ton should have gone into tha ra e last June, utterly ignoring the fact that he ivas regarded long' before the elec tion as the leading senatorial candi date. He was a candidate for the Cnited States senate when Mr.Geer wo a candidate - for' the renomination of governor. It Is not clear, as the Statesman avers, that Mr. Fulton should continue to sac rifice himself politically for the sake of his friends. He has done this for many years, and Governor Geer and others who have been the beneficiaries ought to show some appieciation ought to "work for fair play," to use the States man's language. In eonnsotion with the suicide of a young woman in San Francisco, the startling charge is made that she was driven to the act by suggestion, says the Tacoma Ledger. The malign in- fluence is said to have been exercised1. . &Sf Q' m "... W Whon a woman U nen-ou ! gpnoratly xhrf' I jF j sleepless. If tier ii anything a nervous s J'i W'Mlfj 1 WV Saa" woman drosda it the night which ought to J Vj be so welcome as the bringer of rest ami fTTv-' IWmWmV mm by the man who ought to have been her husband, but who seems not to: have been. If there is any basis forj the charge, the producing of the proof would be most difficult. There can be no doubt that both men and women have been driven to suicide by reason j of brutality, and yet the deed In itself : Dance, or chorea, is one of the most pitiable afflictions humanity is called on to endure. That this disease can be cured, however, is proven by the fact that it has been cured by the use of l)T. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The iranquuizing eneci puDiicans. must be rated as voluntary. If a has-! hand weie to sneerlnly advise his wife j that she had better kill herself, there i might be aroused within her the desire to do so as a method of punishing the brute. At the same time, however much he mi?ht oe morally condemned, there appears no written law naming a penalty. Tha explanation of this case is meagre. What is meant by "sug gestion"? The study of psychological phenomena during recent years has givt-i! to the term a technical slgnifl cance. The hypnotist controls his sub jeel by su?g:stion. A doctor assists his patient by su??est!on. The ex tent to which this peculiar-power can be used has been shown in many ways some of them sinster. There Is hard ly a doubt but Innocent people have bten urged to wrongful courses, and have yielded, when had they been free to exercise their own Judgment they would have spurned with horror the opvortunity'hey seemed eager to grasp. That hypnotism presents grim possibilities does not need to be proved anew. Some people under the spell It Imposes will do anything they are In structed to do. They would without hesitation leap Into the river or throw the baby Into the grate. "AH they would need would be the suggestion. From the experiments made, the fact seems clear thafthe plastic mind can ! be recast at the option of the stronger' one. That murders have been com mitted by persons virtually In a trance there Is no reason for doubting. That suicide mljht be eomrhilted from simi lar causes Is a fair conclusion. The person under hypnosis could not make this a plea and convince a jury. Neither could the person really guilty be readily convicted or even arraigned. The plea of the prisoner would have to be that of Insanity, and then might be accepted. v upon the nerves ex. ercised by this re markable medicine is witnessed to by ! thousands who have found healing and . Fifty-seven out of the 38S members elect of the figty-eighth congress have been elected from 13 of the large cities In the United States, each of which has two ore mjre representatives In the house.

Then, perhsps, she springs from the bed and lightt the gss or a lamp, feeling that she must havo tho companionship of light And ever, from time to time, she rises to tee what hour it is, and wonders to find it is but fifteen minutes instead of an hour since the last looked at the clock. One of tho remarkable features about such a condition is that-so few women connect it "with its common causo womanly disease. They try all kinds of sedatives for their nerves. They take sleeping powders" and headache pow dert and all sorts of drugs which tt the lu ct can only ntitnb the nerves and stnpify tho brain for a time. Tho real need of nervoim, sleepless women is a cure of womanly diseases. Then with quited nerves natural, refreshing sleep will come again. Nervous and sleepless women her glad and grateful witness to the wonderful cures cffTtvd bv the m (f pr Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Ev. n w hen tho nervous con dit":on had reached the most distressing utao, and all other medicines and means of cure had failed, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has effected a perfect an-1 permanent cure. "It is with pleasure that I write to let you know the great benefit I have received from your medicines, ami bv tollowing your sdvice retain;; Self-treatment at home," writes Mrs. Sclma Erickson, of 40 Rice Street, St. Paul, Minn. "You kin.llv advised me to take Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription and ' Golile'u Medical Discovery ' and 'Pleasant Pellets.' When I first wrote you I had been to three diiTerent doctors, aud two of them sid I would never trt better with out going to the hospital for an operation. I just Kit (Town nnd cried, and said, ' If I die. I will die at home with my two dear little ones.' I had a mishap in May last and was weak all summer. Waa not al.l to do anything. If I would get up and walk to the kitchen and back I would have to lie in bed for a day or sometimes two davi. l ast August I picked up one of Dr. Pierce's pamplets and read of his wonderful work. I wrote to him for information and received an answer within five dayi from the day I wrote, tdvising me to try his medicines. Now I have used six bottles of his ' Favorite Prescript tion ' and six of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and the result is just wonderful. I did not tell the doctors what I was taking. I have not !eeo to any physician since the day I received the first letter from Dr. Pierce, and I feel as good as I ever did before I had the mishap. tea' so nervous I had to have some one by my side all the time, even in day. time, and I could hardly eat anything. I took treatment from a doctor twice week, and every time I would (50 there I felt so sick, but since 1 quit all the doctors and began taking your medicine I gained right along. I have gained forty pounds within the last four months. I weighed 125 when I began taking your medicines (in August), and now I am up to my uual weight 165. I cannot thank yon enough for your wonderful medicines, and I wish you every success in the treatment of other cases as yon have had in mint. When I think what I suffered last summer it teems now lik s dream, for to-day I am ss well and feel as good as ever." Mv wife was sick for over eight years," writes Albert H. Fulte, Fjw., of Altamont. Grundy Co., Tenn. "She had uterine disease and was treated by two physicians and got no relief. At last I read in one of your Memorandum Books which you sent me, about Dr. Pierce's medicines, and we decided to try his ' Favorite Prescription." I tent to the drug store and got one bottle, and the first dose gai ease and sleep. She had not slept any for three nights. Being snre that it would cure her, I sent for five more bottles, and when she had taken the sixth bottle she was sound and well." These are not exceptional cores. These letters are but two out of thousands written by women who found health through the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. ' This great medicine for women establishes regularity, dries debili-' tating drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It cures nervousness, sleeplessness, backache, headache, and other consequences of womanly disease. "Favorite Prescription" in purely a vegetable preparation containing no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic It can not disagree with the weakest constitution. Mrs. Erickson, in her letter printed above, refers gratefully to correspondence with Dr. Pierce and advice received from him. Dr. Pierce invites sick and ailing women to consult him by letter, free.
