The most popular man connected with
the anthracite commission is Inter
state Commerce Secretary Mosley, of
Washington. He is the one sent forth
to prepare the way; to make smooth
the rough places: to see that the com
mission has good care and to be gen
orally Indispensable. Judge Gray Is
the handsomest member of the COM
mission; General Wilson, the most
chvalrously charming; Mr.. Parker, the
keenest of eye; Mr.. Clark. the most
non committal; Bishop Spaulding, the
quietest: Colonel Wright. the busiest,
and Mr.. Watkins. the one with the
most immediate responsibility, beauti-
fully borne with dignity and serenity.
Altogether it is II wonderful commits
sion. perhaps the most interesting
sacred number of men ever associated
together on the gravest question of
modern times.
