500 Davidson Building
 Washington, March 14--tSpecial)- Indications at this end of the line point
 to very quiet and uninteresting cam paign for the nomination of long term senator in Alabama.
 In all probability, Senator Under wood will be elected minority leader of the Senate. In that event, he will re- main on the job. Even if he is de- feated in the leadership fight, it is reasonably certain that he will find lit- tie opportunity to pay more than fly- ing visits to Alabama.
 Senator Underwood does not believe that it will be necessary for him to make a personal canvass of the state- He is assured that without such effort. he will win.
 There are two other reasons why the fight against Senator Underwood will attract little attention The senator's opponents, according to what is re- ported and believed here, have made no progress because they have no issue. In the second place, the free-for-aA senatorial contest, that in which sew eral men are striving to succeed the late Senator Bankhead, will. as con- test of popular interest, completely overshadow the fight for the long term
  fhorized no recent statement, it Is Known that he is not distressed in that his opponents are endeavoring to trump up issues to bring about his downfall They talk prohibition and organized labor. Senator Underwood does not believe that either can be made an issue, or if either is made an issue. his record will give him a de- ctded advantage nevertheless.
 T- ha r,rnhihifinu Qrnpndmnut was an issue because 1t was known that the man elected to the Senate would vote for or against that amend ment. It was known that Senator Un- derwood would vote against 1t. Never theless, many prohibitionists, evidently guided more by patriotism than partis- anship, supported Senator Underwood, and he was elected. He voted against the amendment. The amendment was subsequently ratified and it is part of the constitution, and therefore, as an Issue, dead.
 With prohibition in the constitution. i at became necessary to provide means of enforcing the law. The prohibition fists of the House devised an enforce ment act. It was strong, in sense, virile, in a sense, extreme. in sense It passed the House and came to the Senate Senator Underwood offered no Amendment to the act. He interposed no opposition to it's passage. And he voted for 1t. No prohibitionist of what ever extreme and radical views could have done more.
 To enforce the law in Alabama, Sen ator5 Underwood took the position that a prohibitioniss should be made the enforcement agent. He appointed q preh ibitionist of consistent record Kelly Dixon of Tallade dega-and one who | is tireless in his efforts against viola . tors of the law. No, prohibitionist in . the country could have made an ap- | pointment more satisfactory to the pro 1 |hibtionists of Alabama.
 Therefore, Senator Underwood's rec . ord, even were prohibition a real issue Iwould measure up to practical require inents There is no reason, Judging from the record, why prohibitionist

Yesterday morning at the First Pres tyterian Church, Dr. J. A. MacSporran preached from the text: "And other sheep, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock and one shepherd"
 Tn his introduction the minister spoke of the tragedy of Christians who magnify their differences and isolate themselves by refusing to keep step and keep time with the other units of the Lords great army, and of the Divine Redeemer call ing for wider vision; for Chritendom to overcome denominational prejudices and national preiudices and generate the good will which alone can promote the cause or Christ in the world.
 But the other sheep referred to in the text are the good men and women who are not of this fold. or any field. and who ought to be, because the Shepherd claims them and loves them as His own saio Dr. MacSporran. 'srhey belong to the sheen and not to the goats And they are not black sheep either, but they are on the outside of the church and show no Inclination to come in. So far as they understand the Shepherd, His spirit, His character, His truth--all the things lie said and did, all the aims and values lie stood for, they love Him. They would register their vote any day as being in favor of all the things the Master loved and died for. They rally to His call Tn every emergency, and sacrifice and en- dure for that side of the struggle of lire that Jesus embodies. They honor ana reverence the real Christian spirit when ever they see it in another. Clearly then it isn't the Shepherd that alienates them It is the fold They don't feel at home in it. they don't feel the need of it. To them 1t is dreary and dull and unreal.

INDUSTRY LEADERS
TAKE HOPEFUL VIEW
Of FUTURE OUTLOOK

While there is nothing tangible upon
which TO base a more optimistic view
of the future, there is evident in finan-
cial quarters a more hopeful tone. It
seems to be psychological rather than
practical but it is shared by many men
who have made careful and thoughtful
studies of the situation. They believe
that If the country can get over the
next so days safely there viii be no
more real danger.
The better outlook is not based upon
any expectation of a renewal of indus
trial activity, but rather the reverse.
Bankers have hailed with qualification
the gradual slowing down of nlanufac-
turing activities and they expect this
process to continue. It has been grad
ual and orderly thus far and they be-
lieve it will continue TO be- Temporary
sIacl1ening of production is the only
means they see TO restore something
like normal conditions within com
paratively few months.
Bankers report a real railing off in
demands for new money for CONNER
cial purposes and this iN regarded as
a hopeful augury. This is~attributed TO
a determination on the part of manu-
facturers TO turn their present inven-
tories into cash instead of going into
the market for new supplies, except
such as are necessary to complete
their product. This has served to re-
duce the volume of their borrowings.
As inventories are resumed it is not
likely any present attempt VIII be
made to continue production on a large
scale.
Unbalanced inventories constitute
one of the most menaeing factors in
the present situation. Ttere are le-
gions of companies which have enor-
nous inventories and very little cash.

Among many OF the letters received
comes one from Tead w. Rank OF
Somerton, Arizona. He states in part:
Il have driven my 1917 Olds over 6S.-
