WHO WILL HE BE,

The New York Post wants to know "who shall be the Joshua to lead the local Republicans out of the wilderness of public contempt. graft and corrup- tion in which they are now wander ing?" If by "local Republicans" The Post refers only to those of New York city it matters little who endeavors to play Joshua for he will not suc- ceed unless the Democrats lose all their sense and judgment. New York is a Democratic city and nothing but their own folly can take 1t from them, though it was an uncomfortably mar row squeak in the late municipal con- test.
 If The Post speaks for the Republi- cans of the State there is significance in the question. For dozen years now they have carried the State at every election. except for Chief Justice in 1897, and they might have hope of continuing in power if they had lead CT who could unite and control them. but if there is such a man he appears to be hiding himself. There is Odell
  has turned his back on both of them and that counts for great deal in the Empire State. Platt seems to be out of it, as things now go, and 1t looks as if he will make no attempt to boss New York politics any more. He is under a cloud which is not likely to be lifted soon. Odell may be expected to fight it out, but his reputation is decidedly below par. and if the Repub- licans rally to him and adopt his dirty methods they will sink themselves lower in public estimation than they now are.
 There is Governor Higgins, but 1t is charged that all he cares for is to en- sure harmony in his party and doesn't care how it is secured. He is charged with being willing to mako common cause with the political black legs and grafters of his party if by that means he can bring them into line and con" trol them. If indications are not de- captive that brand of leadership will not win any longer. The Republicans of New York are not all in sympathy with the kind of politics their party has been rioting in of late. and there is a disposition to revolt unless cleaner methods are followed and better men placed in the lead. They are getting sick of the stench that has so long hung about the organization. Govern- or Higgins is apparently not the man to make a fight for honest politics.
 There is some talk of ex-Governor Black. but he would be no improve. ment over odell or Higgins. appar- ently. for his administration was not such as to give hope that he could or would reform his party, or that the better clements of it would be content to follow him. There is also talk of Joseph H. Choate. and while he might lead his party out of the mire in which 1t now lies he is past the age when man might wish to assume the duties and responsibilities that a Republican leader in that State will have to shoul- deE On the whole it looks as if the Joshua is yet to come forth.

JOURNALISTIC NOTES.

All the papers that come to The Ad- vertiser have the Christmas look upon their pages. Those that do not come in special edition shape are loaded to the ground with good holiday reading and splendid display of advertising. This applies to papers in and out of the State.
 Just on the eve of a new year The Advertiser would like to suggest that Aiabama's monthly magazine, The Ad- vance, will ! furnish some excellent reading for, 1906. It is published in Birmingham and has improved with every issue that has been published. It will be a good magazine for any family.

 He prepared an article on the sub ject of Athletics in the Army. for the December issue Of The Military Service Institution, a military magazine. In 1t he argued that the athletic feature of army life has come to stay, because trained bodies are essential to efficient soldiers. He characterized the present system in the army as whole thor oughly unsatisfactory. He said the present trouble with army athletics is: First, it is wasting time and effort try ing to do things by persuasion and en- couragement when they could be done better by order. Second, in athletics it is trying to do by an unmilitary sys- tenn of superintendence and committee
  existing military organization, which has been found thoroughly efficient ip handling other matters. Third, ath- letics Is regarded too much as sport, and not enough as training. Fourth, it is doing athletics in disiointed. irregu- lar. ununiform ways, when 1t is prac- ticable to do it by a system.
 This article, coming, as it did, Afrom a man who had the best opportunity for coming in contact with the system in its practical operations, has occasion ed a great deal of comment in military journals and among the army officers all over the country.
 The matter had been brought to General Carrs attention and he took the advance step toward making ath- letics in the army permanent fea- ture of the training of a soldier. Ma jor Bullard hopes that the system will be adopted soon throughout the whole army.
 Though he believes in this separa- tion of the series work from the sport, he also believes in the promotion of good athletic sport among the men as an Independent factor"

 q learned from Director Thomas M owen of the Alabama Department of Archives and History that the histori- cal students of the college and the town of Auburn will proceed at once to organize a society.

 The students in the East Alabama institution arc, perhaps, doing more search pr original work at this time For several years, in fact, there has been a continuous output of original history from the Historical Seminary of Auburn. Dr. Petrie. who initiated the system, proceeds, as l understand on the knowledge that there arc im- mense stores of unmincd history, so to speak in Alabama and the South. He gives instructions for the unearthing of these stores. The pick-axe of the work Is the perseverance of the stu dents who enlist and the key to most of it is the collection of matter that has terwoven in the tale of our common wealth.

Paris, May 27.-The naval situation
i'm the far east has been discussed be
tween French and American naval of
ficers, including admiTals who took part
IN the Spanish war. Both the French
and Americans took the view that the
Japanese would permit the Russian
fleet TO enter TIadivostok. which
thereafter would become the scene Of. a
repetition Of the naval situation at San
tiago and at Port Arthur. A French
officer said it was characteristic of
Russian sailors To seek the suDDOrr of

defensive. making sorties under cover
OF the guns OF the forts instead of
adopting open sea tactics.
On the other hand. it was Dointed
out that the japanese had evervtbin
10 gain in permitting the Russians to
enter NladiVOstOk instead Of taking the
chances Of d sea fight. Once inside
NladlvostOk, the Russians would re-
qulre coal and provisions, and it would
be impossible to secure these. as Field
Marshal Oyama would cut the land
communications and Admiral Togo
would prevent merchant vessels from
carrying supplies TO NladivOStOk. This
would present much the same situa-
ton a. at Santiago and Port Arthur.
