To Use Politicians.

To Use Politicians.
 Captain Hobson has a plan to utilize all the politicians in the campaigns of the future for education. He would have a general committee named. of which the governor, the superintendent of educa- tion and the two senators would be ex- officio members. These would select others from the business and professional walks of life, and thus make d compact organization. This committee would get together just before any campaign for of- flee and prepare matters of an educa- tional nature and send it to each one of the speakers and ask that they include it in every speech they make in this way making all the talk forces of the state work for the building up of school sen timent.
 Captain Hobson pointed out that every congressman can send out matter of this kind to all the voters of his district He can either prepare himself or have pre- pared an address on education or some form of the school movement, and by speaking a line two of it have the ad- dress printed in the Congressional Rec ord. In this way he can secure the speech and have it mailed free to all his constituents.
 Some lady In the crowd spoke up: I've are not all voters"
 The speaker did not answer her save to tell tine following story: Just after the battle Of Santiago beautiful girl rushed up to Admiral Schley and said: "Oh, ad- miral, it was such grand victory; such tribute to the men behind the guns.''
 Not so, my dear" replied the old war dog, 'to the girls behind the men behind the guns.'
 More Work In Alabama.
 The result of the conference in Pine hurst is expected to be seen in a red hot campaign for better educational advan- tages in the state. The first thing will be to try to get in all tEe counties which have not so far voted it, the local tax of 1 mill. Next to this will be an eff fort to get bill passed to allow the people to vote on whether or not they will amend the constitution so as to al- low local taxation without so low limit by districts. These two improvements are greatly needed. and the forces of the state as well as those that can be ntil- ized by the conference for education ;n the south, will be set to work with all vigor.
 This question of community taxation ran through all the speeches and discus sions of the Pnehurst session. Georgia reported that the state had raised more

WANT MORE SNOW
Ralph Blakeslee's Annual Ride May Not Take Place Saturday.

Things don't look any too bright for Ralph Blakeslee's annual sleigh ride for the children of the town Sat urday. The weather Is cold but there is not enough snow on the ground and unless we have q little more to- night or tomorrow the big event will have to be postponed. Thls would be Q great disappointment not only to tho rising generation and their par- ents, but also to many others, some of whom do not live in this city, but had promised to be here Saturday aud forgetting all about the affairs of state enter Into the spirit of the oc- caslon with abandon and join in the frivolities for an hour or so. The in- vited guests include Governor Wood ruff and staff and many members of the house and senate, so that really the scarcity of snow may be the means of depriving Waterbury of q demonstration, such as has not oc- cured here since the time Barnum's greatest show on earth gave its last parade here.
