After ' traveling over America, pub Holy addreselng his countrymen In CO different cltlea and . conversing with thousands of them privately. Dr. Doug las .Hyde, the eminent Irish lecturer, found In Portland the Irishman who, of th thouaands In the' United States, la best able to speak th anoestrai lan guage la Its purity. ' This, morning Dr. -Hyds met and talked with Professor John Murphy, a thorough master of the Irish language. and at one time prominently Identified with educational and Intellectual move ments of Portland, - Professor Murphy Is years of age. He Is a graduate of Trinity college, Dublin. - - "Of all the Irishmen I have met In America." -said Dr. Hyde,' "Professor Murphy speaks the Irish language th most perfectly."''' t -. Th meeting; was arranged by Judge Henry K. McOInn, i and It - took place at th Portland hotel, and the conversa tion waa Indeed enthusiastic. .It was conducted in the- Irish language. Professor Murphy ha been a scholar for yeara and has been deeply inter ested in th study of th Irish language. At -the time he left Ireland, Gaelic was generally spoken by the people, though It-. waa -not -used in - courts xr .achoola. He hss continued his studies until he Is recognised as on of th moat .thor ough masters of th language la the world. Dr. yd was not or3ygrsatiy pleased, but greatly surprised at th4 result of . ths meeting. During his travels in America he- has met many Iriah students, and. even many who profess scholarship In th language, but be ha met no on who waa able to apeak it In -Its purity as fluently as Professor Murphy. One of the largest crowds that ever isomblod in thla city to hear, a lec ture will listen tonight to Dr. Hyde at the Marquam theatre,-when ha will tell of th work that Is being don In Ireland and elsewhere te revive the Irish language. . Tickets have ' been In great demand and It Is believed that th capacity of - th theatre will be taxed. , - - .- . , Dr. Hyde's tour "of America - has aroused deep and substantial Interest la the movement to have the Irish people speak their own laiigug-la -their own land.

Collins, In ' Printers' Ink, Tells of the Newspaper : ' ' Situation : Up V ! V i , to Date.-.-- ANCIENT DICTATOR IS TUMBLED OFF HIS SEAT The Journal, a Newcomer ' In tha Field, in Four Years ' Outstripped . Its Twin Competitors and .-Now Rides at , Head ' 'of the Proces sion. -"T- -J-4--. - ' - -. ; James H. Collins, a member of th editorial staff of Printers' ink. a widely known publication, writes under th head, "How the Dry Bones War SUired " In Oregon," of the newspaper altuatlon in Portland as follows . . Monopolies can be maintained , tn oil and railroading. But not in newspapers. It Is true that there 1 always a per-, slstent tendency In the newspaper field to bar out competition. Preaa franchises ' are bought up, publishers of prosperous journals- get-together and agree-1 sup port one another in making their field a corporation, weak sewapapers are ac quired and maintained aa dummy com- petitora, and there are other tricks. But Just as soon aa an effective monopoly of this sort has been formed there is aa opening for a new paper and a new pub lisher, If bev doesn't come In Immedi ately, be comes sooner or later,, for dry rot set In among the monopolising papers, and the incentive to compete be comes stronger every day. Monopoly Is not only difficult to achieve in newa--paper publishing, . but it isn't worth while. ' Th best thing for the prosperity and permanence of a newspsper property Is grood, stiff competition. Th Swomss. . i'. These' truisms have lately beea veri fied again by interesting changes in Portland, Oregon, where th newspaper situation- had, so to speak, become top heavy. It had been top-heavy for yeara. but at laat it turned - turtle, and now ' there la a new publisher owning what Is practically a new daily - paper in Portland, a property not only worth aa much as ths older ones, but which cost little to build up. Printers' Ink has often published articles telling how newspsper properties have been built up by advertising, canvassing, etc, but the story of recent events In ' ths Portland field demonstrates that it Is even easier and cheaper to enter a city where older paper have formed a cloae corporation, and Juat stir th. dry bonea. , Portland had two newspapers until 101. Both belonged to the earns corpo ration the Moralng Oregon la n, famous all over th country, which . has been published there sine ' 1150, and th Evening . Telegram, dating from U73. Th Oregonlan not only monopolised ' Portland, but waa also a power In th I whole stats of Oregon. No other paper. except the Telegram, had a atat cir culation. No other newspaper In th state had a Sunday issue,' with a few . minor exceptions. No other had a Sun-day-4aasu-4hat-wa-known outslds its own town. Ths Oregonlan was a fin newapaper of ths old school, dignified, conservative in its style, abhorring scare heada and yellow methods, and " so respected for Its editorial opinions that it was apt, on Important local Is sues, to be dictatorial. . It owned th only two Associated Press franchises In Portland, and was so firmly lot ranched In Oregon that it didn't bother about" canvassing for subscribers, or educat ing retail advertlaers. Those who liked the-Oregonlan-throughout the state "took it In," as th English ssy. Those that didn't exactly follow th Oregonlan In politics or style could take ita even- . ing laaue, the Telegram. Those wh j liked neither got along without an Ore con paper, for there wasn't any other. Th combined circulation of the two pa pers in ltoo-waa nearly 45,000 copies. Portland had only 10,000 population then, and all . Oregon leas , than half million, so a good many people must have read one or th other. Tet It was a saying -in- Oregon that -"whenever an -old citisen die th Oregonlan lose a subscriber," and this aaylng seems to form a better picture of conditions than could be given In words or statistics, - -,-, rtre eolU Competition. In March. ' 1S02, a competitor came Into th Portland field In th shape of Th Evening Journal. It had a hard row-' to- hoe, -however, and : tn' three s months was on Its last legs. But just aa the nsw. paper was about to wabble off the ecene in th hot montha of Bum mer It got a new owner who event ually changed th newapaper map of ' Oregon. Thla newcomer was C. .
