Kern’s speech accepting the nomination for vice president has been received with high praise in every section of the country. The Democratic newspapers without exception have given it their warmest approval. Those papers which are really independent have contrasted_it with Mr. Sherman s acceptance speech to Mr. Kern's great advantage. Os course the Republican press can see little in it that they can indorse, but that argues nothing against, but very much in favor ’of. its political soundness. It is the business of the strictly Republican paper to disagree with every Democratic utterance which is calculated to win votes from men who have hitherto supported the Republican party. And Mr. Kern’s speech is so clear and convincing that it should have that effect. Throughout his address Mr. Kern strongly reinforced Mr. Bryan's indictment of the Republican party for denying to the people the right to control their own government and turning its machinery over to the special interests. In his handling of the tariff, the trusts, the usurpation o? power by the Speaker and his rules committee in the House of Representatives and by the corporation members of the senate, and kindred matters. Mr. Kern was superb. The speech, which this paper has printed in full, should be read closely. And the concluding paragraph. which is here given, should be especially remembered and heeded: Let everj- man from this hour forward, perform his duty in a manly and

honorable way. Let this be a campaign of education and argument Let our appeals be to the reason and pa- ' triotism of the American people. Let us be vigilant and unceasing in honest work for a righteous cause, and a glorious victory in November will crown our efforts. Mr. Taft caught three bass the other day and suddenly this has become a most wonderful incident. Walter Wellman says fishing is much more popular than golf among the common people. Mr. Taft opposes the guaranteeing of the bank deposits of 'the individual and the Republican candidate for governor of Kansas favors it. A joint discussion between them on the question would add to the gayety of the campaign. The Decatur merchants are responding to the demands of the season by inviting the public to trade here instead of going elsewhere. It's the right spirit and if every one helps a little it will be easier for each. All together now.

The subject for the afternoon’s work was “Stratford-on-Avon’’ the home of Shakespeare, which work was especally given to Mrs. Studabaker, on account cf her voyages c f last year in foreign countries.

WAS GREAT TRIP Judge O’Rourke Describes a Delightful Journey on the Lakes IN HIS OWN STYLE The Pleasures of Pickerel Trolling — Mr. Waring Was One of the Party Judge and Mrs. Edward O'Rourke, of Fort Wayne, who in company with Mr. L. C. Waring of this city recently returned from a delightful several weeks' trip, were interviewed by a representative of the Journal-Gazette and Judge O'Rourke said: The lake trip frem Detroit to Duluth is certainly delightful, he said. In fact it would be hard to imagine any way one can put in an equal number of days and mingle rest and pleasure in equal measure. The weather was never so warm as to be uncomfortable, in fact we had fire nearly every day of our stay. There arc sudden changes from wartn weather to cool and the change al- ' ways brings heavy fogs. In one of . these fogs our vessel lest three hours, being compelled to stop entirely still, and when we did move the fog whistles were sounding constantly. We had no rain, although it threatened to rain every day. and we seldom saw the sun go down in a clear sky. There is often a good many fcrest and brush fires on account the extremely dry weather. We came back from Duluth to St. Ignace and then went by rail to Lake Manistique, about fifty miles inland, in the upper peninsula. It is a quiet place, not crowded with people like most summer resorts are. and cne could throw off restraint and I live close to nature. There is one excellent hotel, with a good table and fine accommodations, and the fishing jis great beyond description. We always caught mere fish than we needed Trolling f — pickerel appealed to ime, as it is easy and furnishes plenty iof sport. We used spoon hooks, baited with a piece of pork cr frogs, J and landed a great many pickerel, wall-eyed pike and perch. Some of . the sportsmen devoted themselves exclusively to bass fishing, but I prefer , j pickerel myself, probably because I ’ find the meat more to my taste. We j caught some gcod sized ones, and Mrs. O'Rourke distinguished herself ! or. day by bringing in a five-pounder. The perch sometimes take the bacon I rind. too. and one can get gord sized ones. Muskellungo are caught also, and some weighing eighteen or ■ twenty pounds were taken while we were there. , The country round about is not i much cultivated, although the soil is : good. It is too cool and the summer I too short for corn (they have frosts ! there now), and the only com raised is sweet com for the table. They |rais£_Jine potatoes there, the soil be- : ing peculiarly adapted for potato culi ture. But most of the land lies idle, • and th** iutiabitants of the region are an easy going lot, who make their living by catering to the summer resorters. They do net live extravagantly and they do not need much money, and evidently don’t care about making any more than they need. The lake has a rock bottom nearly everywhere, although in places there are marl shores. The water supply is excellent and cold, soft water is gotten from driven wells. ; On our return trip we stopped at

We got the sole right to handle these garments because we knew they would be best for you, and what’s best for you is always best for us. - If it’s Style, if it’s Quality, if it’s Piice you will find your wants have been anticipated here.

Petoskey and went to Oden, where there is still a big summer population. But the fishing there is not very goed. as there are too many launches and one has to go to the other lakes for sport. o Y.
