Fighting for Birmingham's Good


 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In this (Mondays) issue of The Age Herald I note what MT. Joseph Thompson says about closing stores on Saturday, etc. and he volunteers advice to the min isters of this city as follows: Tt occurs to me that if the ministers of this city would take up this fight they would do more good by getting persons who need counsel to church on Sunday than they ever will in this prohibition propaganda they are sponsoring."
 It is apparent that Mir. Thompson is not very well acquainted with what ''the min isters of this city, have done. At meet ing held sometime since they unanimously agreed to bring this subject of Saturday closing before their respective churches, and I have yet to learn of one single church dissenting. Every member of my church save two voted for this measure. and they said they had private reasons for opposing. If MT. Thompson will pardon a man who has more experience than he would like to assure him that the min isters of this city, are going to sponsor all that makes for the upbuilding and so- briety of our city. And that includes pro- hibtion, which, although imperfectly en- forced because of lack of official fidelity. never was as bad as the well regulated saloons, now causing more crime than ever known in all our history. The ministers of this city make it their business to fight all things that destroy morals and degrade manhood. To this purpose we give our time, prayers and influence.

Birmingham's Opportunity
Editor of The Age-HeraId:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Culman is intensely interested in the se- curing of the great university for Birming- ham. The secretary of the Commercial club has taken the matter up and private citizens are alive to the importance of the opportunity.
 It can be done There is no reason why Birmingham should not have the location. The money Is waiting the asking, the de- votion of Alabamians to the state. and Methodists to the church of their choice. is unquestioned.
 There are men and women ready to take the field to secure the donations and en- dowments necessary, and the way will be opened before every effort.
 The citizenship of Birmingham needs this great university. It Is the one thing lacking to make Birmingham the greatest city in the south.
 The culture that results, the very atmos- phere of a great college town, will draw thousands to a city that has the com lnercial interests developed as has Bir. rlingham. It will then be the city of op- rortunity for the young man and young woman of the southland, where both ed- ucation and commercial advancement or success, may be had for the effort.
 The one chance is before the people of your city that seldom comes, and if passed
