The vital question with Augusta
fishermen just at present is that of
how soon the ice at Cobbosseecontee
will leave the lake, and those who
were at the lake yesterday were of the
opinion that it would be a matter of
not over As hours at the outside. There
are those also who would not be sur
prised to find the lake free of ice this
morning. For the past two days the ice
at the lake. has shown marked indica-
lions of dissolution and the wind
which has blown steadily during that
time has done a by no means small
amount of work in helping along the
breaking up of the ice. Yesterday
morning the lower end of the lake was
reported. free of ice. and there were
also large spaces of open water farther
I'D the lake. Near the north end the
ice had been jammed and broken up by
the wind and was cracked in all di-
rections so that it was not expected to
last longer than today and perhaps
not as long as that

This feature will make a great addi-

JOHNSON STATES
HIS OPINIONS
DweIIs Upon Rights Of the
State TO Control Their
Own Affairs
OPPOSES GENERALIZATION

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
SHILOH. Tenn. April 1O.-A plea
for state government and pro-
test against the Roosevelt idea OF GER
tralization was the key note Of the
nrst public address delivered by Gov
ernor John A. johnson, of Minnesota,
since he came into the public eye as
a candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for President. The occasion
was the dedication Of the monument
at Shiloh erected in honor of the sol
diers of Montana who fell in battle
there Governor Johnson said:
In this hour when there seems to
be a disposition to depart from estab
lished forms. when there seems to be
desire upon the part Of those in au-
thority to abide in central bureau
crat rather than in Republican demo =
crocy, IL becomes you and me 10 pro-
test against any departure whatsoever
from the government which came .
us from the constitutional convention
Of 1878 and those additions which have
been made to it BY specific win o.
the people.
while the primary object of writ
ten constitution is TO define govern
mental powers and to limit govern
mental departments. the overwhelming
necessity for such an instrument is to
prevent insidious encroachments on the
rights Of the individual citizen, both
by those in Office and those Of wealt'l
and influence far greater than that
possessed by the average citizen.
with the development Of the coun-
/ try and changes IN economic condi-
tions and particularly with the growth
Of great private corporations, per-
forming many Of the functions of gov
ernment, has come the necessity for
the exercise Of strict governmental con-
troll and a rigid enforcement of all the
laws enacted to restrain the rich and
powerful from eneroaching upon the
natural and legal rights Of the poor
and weak.
What this government needs Is net
more power What Il needs to-day is to
distribute the privilege under the govern
ment so that all citizens will have equal
opportunity. America has been called the
land Of opportunity. But American oppor-
Unity should not mean a granting OF such
! ivileges to any class, but should afford
al alike the means for culture. education,
prosperity and contentment"

AT ST. ANDREWS

To neither heredity nor environment
Is TO be attributed the turning into sin,
declared the Rev. j. Henning Nelms, OF
Washington, d. c., In a forceful SER
mon al the MONDAY service In ST.
Andrews Episcopal Church to-day
Sin, he asserted, comes with the rejec-
ton OF the angel OF good that is sent
into all mems hearts by God. "When
all men come to the parting of the
ways," he said, they are to choose be-
tween the way to heaven and the way
to evil. That they chose the wrong
way Is not to be attributed to the in
fuenoes Of hsredity, for in cases good
and bad men come from the same
father and mother; nor Is II due TO en-
vironment. For where one has sue
cumbed 10 the obstacles that oppose
him in his surroundings. another fights
his way 10 the heights and stands in
the glory Of victory and manhood. 1t
is not these; rather is II the way you
receive the angel OF good that God
sends into the heart Of every man. II
your heart, If you reject him with in
your heart, il you reejct him with in
hospitality-tha Is when you have
chosen between good and evil And Il
Is during this sacred season OF Lent
that God sends His angel Of good into
the hearts Of His children. VIII you
receive Him. or will you reject him?
Will you take the way to Heaven, Or
will you chose the way 70 sin and
0vil?"
The Rev. Simeon C. HIN, OF Philadel-
phia. will speak at the noon-day SER
vice tomorrow.
