Taking up the economic side of

that in this time of stress the ae-

meeting of coal operators at Pitts
burgh the government was asked to
establish a dry zone abort the mines
and that the promise was then taade
that the output of coal could be In
creased 200,000 tons a year.
_ The moral argument, he said, had
equally aa great weight on the liquor
questions as have the patriotic and
economic arguments. He declared ,

Liquor Business.
A plea for political unity In sup
port of national prohibition, so that
a sober nation might support a
sober army, was delivered by ex-
Secretary of State William Jennings
Bryan before an audience which
filled the Metropolitan Opera House
at Philadelphia Sunday.
Mr. Bryan warned both the Re
publican and Democratic parties that]
they could not afford to Ignore na
tional prohibition and that neither
could afford to permit the other to
sponsor it alone. Therefore, he de
clared, he was glad it had become a
political issue, and asserted at the
conclusion of bis address that so
much was it a part of politics that
should it be supported properly by
those who have carried on the right
against liquor for so many years,
even “brewery-ridden Pennsylvania
would not foie against It” when the
fede*al smerdmer.t Is brought before
