 The most utterly absurd opinion that we have seen from any man of repnted sense Is from Prof. Minot, of Harvard University. He says that a child be. gins to learn as soon as it Is born and adds. After the first year the power of learning begins to decrease aud con- tinues to decrease until the age of thirty Is reached. and then 1t falls on entirely
 This is a plain and positive assertion, and there Is nothing in his article to modify it, except the reluctant admis- sion that there are cases where men continue to learn. It is a positive as- sertfon that average men and women cannot learn anything after they are thirty years of age. It is worse than osIerism. for he is willing to admit that man may be of some account up to the age of sixty, but this Pro- lessor virtually claims that they are useless after they are tnirty. We don't know the age of this Professor, but If he is more than thirty he ought to re- tire from his chair and let a bright child take his place.

HE MAS RIGHT.

No doubt Judge Parker finds much comfort in those stirring lines of Will liam Cullen Bryant beginning Truth crushed to earth shall rise again for he is himself a living example of the poets correctness. When, during the campaign of 1904, Judge Parker charged that certain large insurance companies in New York were contrt- buting to the Republican campaign fund his opponent, one Theodore Roose- welt, almost went wild and virtually gave Judge Parker the lie. Subsequent disclosures made it plain that the Judge was correct, and it is difficult to be- Ievc, from the evidence made public, that both Roosevelt and his Secretary, MT. Cortelyou, were not both aware of the contributions and the uses 10 which they were put Yet in the face of the indisputable facts Mir. Roosevelt has never had the fairness to admit that he was wrong or to apologize to Judge Parker for the offensive manner with
 which he denied the charge.
 Again. during that same campaign,
 Judge Parker stated that the trust evils could be cured under the common
 law and that 1t was the duty of the Department of Justice to at once pro eeed against them under existing laws l in preference to waiting for Congress | to pass others. Notwithstanding the fact that Parker is an eminent lawyer and jurist, who had been Chief Justice of the Supreme Coprt of New York, and
 notwithstanding the further fact that
 MT. Roosevelt is not a lawyer, he re.

Army Names.

Editor the Advertiser.
 In the many notices of General Wheeled and military events and in cidents connected with the. army in which he served. notice that the or ganization is sometimes nlisnamed by writers General J B. Johnston was assigned. in, November. 1862; to the braced the army under Kirby Smith at Knoxville, the army under Bragg at Murfreesboro and the army under Pemberton in Mississippi, with Chat tanooga as Headquarters. The. army under Bragg was the force that fought at shiloh. and was then called by Gen. Gen. Mississippi." Bragg carried 1t to Ken- lucky finder that name and brought 1t back to Murfreesboro under that name When General J. P. Johnston took command of the Department as stated. the name became the Army or Tennesseep
 Sherman called his army. that march ed from ChattanQoga in Fepruary' 1884, down to Atlanta, on to 5avan- l. nah, through the Carolinas 70 Greens, boro, the Army of the Tennessee. The similarity of names between & two ar winter of 1s6s-s4 to the Spring. of iss5. is confusing whereas the difter- enee consists in q proposition and a definite article only.
 It is a little singular, that the con- federate forces that won tne '5ttie or %ard were called the "Army of the Iatomac." in their report of the battle, ana that before the year was out Gen. erai Mcclellan in command of the Unit ed states forces facing the Confed- crates, called, them also tho Army of 'H0 Publius.

 Tt is the best thing for city to have this class of people taken up and brought into court where fine can be imposed sufiielen to make them do work for some time to come. Loar- CTS are the worst parasites in a cornmu- nity and the quicker we get rid Of them the better it will be.
 Tn going around a great deal, find that the per centage of negro vagrants Is far greater than among the whites. They are negroes who absolutely re- fuse to work whom a good wages are offered them for their labor; They pre- fer to be Idle and await the opportu- nity to fleece their neighboT.
 The mayor has done q valuable ser vice in urging the enforcement of the vagrancy ordinance. hope to see every vagrant arrested until the time comes when there will not be an idle person In Montgomery.

Grand, gloomy and peculiar. the Senators sit aloof, far from the contagion of the popular breath, They pass their terms and find their happi- ness in thwarting the peoples will.
 Whereas the House of Representa- tives Is the faithful echo, the little dog Tray, the meek but raptHous servant of the peoples will.
 Tn view Of their known reputation. could anything be more heartless and infamous than the conduct of these plutiorats and aristocrats of the Sem ate toward Arizona and New Mexico? The friends of the people in the. House insisted upon clubbing New Mexico and Arizona into union.
