POLITICAL GOSSIP
AT NATIONAL SEAT

West Virginia is considered BY
knowing ones as complete, and the
5seers are unable to discern anything
in the remote distance likely to arise
to Interfere with his reign. There
isn't a partner to the throne, they
say, and net likely to be for a good
many years. Watson is supreme.
absolute and all-poWerful over his
subjects. Heis it. the whole works,
the beginning and the end of the.
Democratic party organization in his
state. e it pleases his vanity to lay.
claim to the divine right theory OF
ktngship, let him go to it. No head
ship of either party in the history.
of parties in West Virginia was ever
so entrenched as AR. Watson's. His
absolute supremacy over his party is
embedded in a solid cement founda-
ton so deep and so strong that it Is
without parallel as state bosships
go at the present writing.
That is the view which is taken
OF it in Washington. The parties IN
other states have been smashing
bosses. and there isn't one who de-
serves so to be called politically alive
with very few exceptions, like
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and here

Watson has arrived full panoplfed
with n1onarchial authority within
the limited scope of eight years. His
rise may truthfully be said to have
been as meteoric as monetary. Eight
years ago. when the politically late
and, in some celtic sections OF the
party, politically lamented John T..
NIcGraw, proposed Mr.. Watson as
one of Big Four to the Denver con-
yention. there was 4 mild sensation
over the startling novelty OF the sug-
gestIon. Mr.. Watson had been play
ing the political game with the Re-
.publicans heretofore. and the or
thodoxy OF his Democracy was quot
ed about as low as Wabash Common
on the curb. The genuineness Of
his sudden conversion was under
suspicion generally. So much so, in
fact, that Col NIcGraw's testimony
was necessary to be buttressed by
the personal appearance Of Mr.. Wat
son before committee Of Demo.

REPORT ON HIGH PRICE
 OF COAL TO GOV. M'CALE
One Cause is the Domination of the
 Trade by Nine Large Companies.

Boston, Dec. 27.-The immediate causes for the high price of anthra- cite coal are increases in the prics charged by the mining companies. high freight rates on water-b borne coal and the difficulty of obtaining additional supplies" according to report made to Governor Mccall to- day by commission appointed to in vestigate the cost of living.
 "A serious aspect of the situation" says the report, ifs the domination of the anthracite coal trade by nine large companies, each of which is closely allied or at least in sympa- thetic operation with the railroad com pany on whose line it is located. Two or three of the companies have cur tailed their shipments to New Eng land during the present year, presu- mably in the interests of the railroads that could secure a longer haul and more revenue by delivering coal else where.'
 The report recommends that the leg islature memorailize congress in be- half of a law that will give power to federal authorities to separate effec- lively the anthracite coal business from control, direct or indirect, by any railroads; secure the prompt re- turn of empty coal cars; direct the railroads, in case of emergency, ito give the right of way to coal over traffic not involving the immediate necessities of life: prevent discrimi- nation in the distribution of coal to different markets, and regulate prices at which anthracite coal is sold by the mining companies or their agents.

PROF. IRVING FISHER
 TALKS ON HEALTH INSURANCE
At Joint Meeting of Four Bettermeni
 Organizations in Columbus.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 27.-Presidents of four national rganizations-the American Economic Association, the American Sociological Society, the the American Association for Labor egislation-deliyered addresses at a joint meeting Of these organizations here tonight. It was the opening of a four days convention and was pre- president of Ohio State University.
 Professor Irving Fisher of Yale Uni Versity, president of the American Association for Labor Legislation, in his address tonight spoke of the na- tion-wide campaign now under way for compulsory health insurance.
 There is no other measure before the public which equals the power of health insurance toward social regen- eration," he said. He pointed out that the United States was the only great industrial nation without compulsory health insurance.
 George E. Vincent of Minnesota the president of the American Sociologi- cal Society, discussing Countryside and Nation, declared that as an in dustry farming pays the average increase in land values gives him a delusive sense of prospering from az riculture; that tenancy is inerea sing disconcertingly even in the best farm ing regions such as Iowa and Illinois; that the rural population is increas- ingly migratory and that by reason of these conditions education. social life, political responsibility, moral stand ards and religious functions are being neglected alarmingly and undermined.
 Dr. Vincent deplored the group an- tagonists among farmers organiza- tions, the collisions between farmers clubs and local merchants. the fact that bankers are suspicious of new plans for rural credits and that farm CTS alliances are at war with eleva- tor companies and middlemen gener- ally. He declared it was time to in sist upon the national point of view as opposed to that of narrower group interests.
 Charles P. Neill. president of the American Statistical Association, and President Thomas N. Carver of the American Economic Association, were the other speakers tonight.
