CARS ARE RUNNING;
6usiness Oh the New Electric Road to
Z Lewiston Began Tuesday.

The announcement was made Mon
day that cars would commence run
ming regularly on the line between
Gardiner and Sabattus on Wednesday
but evidently the management had
better luck in getting it to working
than was expected. for the regular
service was commenced Tuesday MORN
ing, and the cars have been running
each hour since, or as near that as un-
forseen delays incident to a new SER
vice would permit.
The arrangement at present is that
a car runs to Lewiston each hour.
leaving Gardiner at 645 in the morn
rig. and on the quarter before each
hCuf until l0.45 at night. Coming
from Lewiston the car leaves on the
even hour, beginning at in the morn
ing, arriving at Gardiner Ills, and
at a quarter past each hour during the
day until II As at night. Each car runs
to Augusta, 50 that the last through
car from Lewiston makes a trip from
Gardiner to Augusta later than under
the old schedule.
The local car that has been running
from depot square to the New Mills
was discontinued Monday, as it was in
the way of the other cars. and the
New Mills at present will have hourly
service by the regular Lewiston cars
The cars from Augusta will run every
half hour as heretofore, but not farther
than depot square at present, although
they may eventually be continued to
the New Mills, SO as to give that
,neighborhood half hour service.
A turnout has been put in near Mr.
Traitors in West Gardiner, where
the car leaving at the quarter before
the hour will cross the one arriving at
quarter past and other turnouts far
ther on as needed.
The running time from Gardiner to
Lewiston is an hour and a quarter.
and the fare So cents from Gardiner
one way.
The cars yesterday were off the
schedule somewhat, the first car out
from Lewiston being delayed. but that
is to be expected for the first day.

THE MAN WHO DICTATES OTHER PEOPLES
AFFAIRS

We all know the dctatoria man, who tries to make
us think and act in his way.
Most of us despise him. many of us listen to him.
and not few of us submit to his dictations.
lie appears in many guises
he may be proprietor of great factory, who, for
what he deems to be for the betement of his employees
lays down certain conditions entirely apart from their
work, and which he cOmpels them to accept
lie may be manager Of mine, who builds neat little
houses for his miners and demands that they live in
them, and provides company store at which they must
make all their purchases
Now both of these plans and many others adopted
by employers may really be for the bettermen of most
OF their employees. And many other such plans forced
by other employers upon their employees may be for their
injury.
The question is this: Who has the better right to
determine by compuson what is for the beterent of
mantle man himself somebody else?
Purely personal requirements and restrictions not
nodded into law, but laid down by for many
men, rob the many of part Of their manhood And it
takes lot of beement and certainty that the better
ment is real to compensate for this.
Our dictatoral man appears in other shapes
He may be a docrinaire who by his ceaseless
haranguing would torture into acceptance of his par
hcular theories for the betterment of humanity
He may be religious dogmatist who considers
everybody fool who does not accept his kind of
theology.
He may be a husband who browbeats his wife into
doing everything in just his way.
He-but his is legion. What pity that the
devils cannot be driven out of him!
He may be honest in his motives, but he is impos-
ton upon many and nuisance to all.
He exists only because weakly permit him to.
1t is bad enough to ask too much advice. The habit
weakens self-dependence.
1t is still to have too much advice. The habit
weakens sefdependence
1t is still to have too much advice forced
That takes away not only selfdependence, but self
respect, too.
But even far worse than the taking of too much adj
vice is the submission to coercion That makes one a
slave. None the less slave because willing one but
all the slave for that very reason for he is
shaved in mind as well as body
We used to the idea that slaves exist because
there strong enough to be masters The
is true-masters exist because there are men weak
enough to be slaves
Slavery has not been abolished-no; not anywhere
this earth Certain systems of it have been abolished
certain forms of have been changed and certain serve
customs have died out But slavery will exist just long
man. willingly unwillngy is in any way under
the personal domination of another
