LETTER FROM BABE
Greatly Pleased By Tributes Paid to
 Underwood

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As rule I refrain from active partici-
 patton in politics. but as Oscar w. Under
 wood is being put forward by his friends
 as candidate for the democratic nom-
 ination for the presidency I feel impelled
 to say something as one of his personal
 admirers.
 I indorse the suggestion of Wilson R. Brown that E. K. Campbell assume charge of campaign to secure the nomination of Oscar w. Underwood as the standard
 bearer of the democratic party in 1912. If it is true that the Civil war is over as we have been assured by thousands of orators, the place of the candidates residence should not be considered. If
 sectionalism is still 8 sine qua non, the sooner true Americans set their faces against that unpatriotic sentiment, the sooner it will pass into oblivion.
 The democratic party has too often lent itself to opportunism. It would be better
 to lose a few elections on the idea that any American citizen of character and ability is eligible to the presidency, than
 to win one contest by surrendering to sec-
 tional prejudice. Oscar Underwood is loyal American citizen.
 He is admirably poised. He is familiar with economic condi- tions.
 He is in sympathy with the genius of American institutions. He is practiced in public affairs. He has a clean record.
 What more can be said of any man who has ever been a candidate for the presi- dency.
 The suggestion of Underwood's candi- dacy has been seriously, and favorably received. His strength in the convention. and the possibility of his nomination in the event of deadlock will depend upon the ardor and support of his home people.
 MT. Campbell should lose no time in organizing the campaign. JOSEPH B. BABE. Birmingham, August 1. 1911.

HOUSE FLY" SHOULD

Washington, August 1.-"The insect we now call the 'housefly' should be term ed typhoid fly in order to call attention to the danger of allowing it to continue to breed unchecked" says L. O. Howard of the department of agriculture bureau Of entomology, in farmer bulletin just issued.
 Prof. Howard says a careful screening of windows and doors during the summer, supplemented with fly catching devices, is the surest preventive of disease through those germ bearing insects.
