NEW ABBEY IS COMPLETED
Newport's Beautiful Hotel VIII BE
Opened Tomorrow Evening.

The Observer is in receipt of the
announcement of the opening of the
new Abbey Hotel in Newport, Oregon,
to be held tomorrow evening from
to o'clock. This opening reception
promises to be the most brilliant So
cial function ever held in the popular
little seaside town, as 1t will be attend
ed not only by the people Of Newport
but by hundreds of the friends of Mr.
and Mrs. Abbey living throughout
Western Oregon. Those who have en-
ioyed their hospitality in the old
Abbey House for the last thirty or
more years will be glad to participate
in the opening of the new Abbey"
one of the finest beach hotels between
British Columbia and San Diego. =
The new Abbey occupies the site OF
the old Bayview House, on the main
street of Newport. This building is
$50 feet long, three stories high, and
the framework is covered with
heavy coating of concrete. On the
ground floor are grill, buffet, q
beautiful lobby, and a dining room
sufficiently large to seat 240 guests.
The toilet rooms and lavatories have
solid walls of white marble, and the
hat and cloak rooms are models of
convenience.
The two upper stories contain near
ly 100 bedrooms, all furnished in a
style which will compare favorably
with that of the largest and most
modern hotels in the large cities. Ev-
cry room is an outside room, and all
rooms fronting on the bay have
beautiful bathrooms in connection.
The entire building is heated by steam,
Newport's greatest handicap has
been lack of good hotel facilities.
and it can be said with truth that the
new Abbey will fill a '1ong-felt want. :"
Thousands of people will visit that
popular beach this season who have
remained at home heretofore on ac-
count of lack of good hotel accom-
modations. The new hotel will not
only stimulate the summer travel, but
viii make Newport a popular resort
every month Of the year.

DALLAS MEN TO GROW FRUIT
"Breeze" Gibson Sells Ranch to Doctor
and Railroad Manager.

The old reliable, attenuated and in
imitable Breeze" Gibson was in Sa-
lem Tuesday, and after being suffi-
ciently primed he unfolded to a repre-
sentative of the Statesman the details
of sale that he has recently consum-
mated. It seems that Breeze" has,
or rather had, two ranches over the
river in Polk County and that he has
sold one of them-the 140-acre one
to DR.. Starbuck and Louis Gerlinger'
both of Dallas, for a consideration OF
$40 per acre, which makes the sum
total that Breeze" thinks ought to
float a battleship.
The new purchasers expect to put
out SO to rs acres of prunes. Breeze"
says he might have put them out him
self. but the time has comefor him to
look back on what he has done In
place of looking ahead to what he
might do.-Salem Statesman.

Fighting Fake Reform

A fake reform is a formidable foe
when intrenched behind the breast
works of popular sentiment, one of the
most formidable newspaper has to
meet. 1t is difficult to attack 1t with
out being accused of attacking the
principle for which 1t pretends to
stand, with which 1t has disguised and
is fortifying itself, The scheme
might be ever so palpable fraud, but
If it has succeeded in panning itself
of on any considerable number of peo-
pie under the name of reform, the
power that attacks 1t, however honest
and sincere, must expect to bring
down upon its own head the wrath of
those who have been deceived by the
fakirs, for a time at least.
A good many papers choose the
course Of least resistance under such
circumstances, and either say nothing
about the fake or fall half-heartedly
into the current of popular approval
in order to escape the penalty of ex-
posing and opposing it. Others, car
ing less for present appearances than
the ultimate truth, and believing that
in the end the people will see the
truth, turn the searchlight full upon
the fraud and do their best to show it
up in its true character.
The newspaper, though, that has
the courage of its convictions usually
comes out ahead and in the meantime
does a valued service to the public,
whether the public ever fully appre-
ciates it or not. Without fearless
newspapers the public would be gulled
more than it is.

More Molehill Than Mountain.

For the exposure of corruption OF
extravaganza in the State department
the congressional committee investi-
eating its expenditures would be en-
titled to credit, but it seems to us that
it is trying to make a mountain out
of a molehill in playing the variations
on that S2,450 voucher for money ex-
pended by direction of Secretary Hay
because it fails to enumerate the
specific items.
We know nothing about the uses to
which this money was put, but we do
know the unblemished character of
the late John Hay, and we also know
william II. Michael, to whom the
voucher was made out, and we are not
willing to believe without evidence
that the money was used in any way
that it should not be used. Mr.
Michaels appointment as chief clerk
of the State department was charged
to Nebraska. He Is a Nebraska man
who had previously been chief clerk
of the senate committee presided over
by Senator Henderson. He later was
delegated to compile the congressional
directory and he is now the American
consul general at Calcutta. He is a
union veteran and in all his numerous
official positions has discharged duties
involving responsibility and trust.
Knowing the men concerned, the
explanation already given of the
$2,450 voucher ought to be sufficient,
namely, that the money was drawn in
lump sum, part of 1t going to pay an
artist for a portrait Of the secretary
and the rest being applied on other
claims that had official approval. 1t
is quite easily understandable that the
secretary OF state might have certain
disbursements to make for services
rendered In a confidential relation that
could not be had at all IL the recipient
had to swear to a voucher in his own
name, specifying the kind of service
rendered. 1t is safe to assume that
every foreign Office of every other gov
eminent, and most of the foreign am
bassadors or ministers at Washington,
have secret fund at their disposal
for emergency use in procuring neces-
sary service or desirable information.
The one thing that seems to justify
the committees curiosity is the ap-
parent effort of the present State de-
partment officials to cover up the ac-
count or to lose the voucher, instead
of standing on the record Just as 1t is.

A Better Dav for Ireland,

The population of ireland seventy
years ago was 100000. Fifty years
ago it was 100000. According to
the late census, that of 1911, it is
4,S81,951. Readily one jumps to the
conclusion that Ireland is steadily los
ing in population. 1t is not. 1t is
gaining. And that, you say, is an
anomaly. Not at ALL Soon after
1910 famine visited ireland, and this
with emigration reduced the popufa-
ton, 80 that by the tims, odrS2iyil war
broke out 1t was down to 5000, 900,
and thousands of those sturdy sons of
Erin enlisted under the Stars and
Stripes to fight for the principle of
human liberty, so dear to their native
heart.
The streams of emigration con-
tinued to pour out, carrying to other
lands on an average of 100000 Irish
men every ten years for long period.
But at last the tide has been turned
In the last decade, since 1901, the loss
has been only 1854, insignificant as
compared with the losses of former
decades. The Irishmen are not leav-
ing their native, land as they once did
And what has brought about the
change? Conditions are more invit-
ing at home. 1t is easier to make a
living in Ireland, with chance for q
future competency. The burden OF
English landlordism has been light
ened and oppression in many forms
removed.
Ireland, to be sure, has not yet at
tanned home rule, but she is on the
way to it, and 1t is her own native
champions Of her rights in Parliament
and at home who have brought this
measure of relief and enforced conces-
sion from England. They will not
stop there. The crux of the fight is
over. The rest will be easier and il
will be great day for the world when
full home rule does come to these pa
tient, patriotic people.

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.

Chicago Record Herald: Topeka min
lister has invited the members of his con-
gregation to tell him all their troubles
If they do he will probably want to hunt
for another congregation.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: According TO a
Baltimore clergyman, Atlas, the mytholo-
gical character who held up the world,
was not a man. but a woman This
preacher knows something about holdups
all right.
Brooklyn Eagle: The Methodist Episco-
pal church is to have a court of. appeals
OF Its own to pass church law And
there will be no recall In the, ystems The
Methodists are not fond of empires,
New York World: Another prominent
New York church is preparing to make a.
special appeal to summer visitors 1t was
Luther's theory that the devil should not
be left with all the good tunes and SINH
larry it appears to be a desirable idea not
to leave him with all the midsummer at
fractions in a great city.
Louisville Courier-JournaI: When a
divine Of DR.. Powell's eminence declares
in favor of taxing church property the
declaration must command respectful at
tention When. in favor of taxing church
force as he made Sunday night the argu-
ment must command serious consideration.
There is no denying that the sentiment
for dinainlshing tax exemptions is growing.
Baltimore American: A deplorable habit
in some cleWymen is to rehash their va
cation experiences in a series of sermons
upon their return to their charges This
is vicious for the minister. II means that
he does not take his vacation spontane-
ously. but is always out for sermonic ma
terial, and this implies work rather than
rest. 1t is against the interests of the
congregation, as they are little edited by
stories of summers vacation. II they
had one themselves. they know all about
It; II they have not. they cannot enter into
the spirit OF their pastors recitals, and
these are apt to be moro or less thin for
| sermon purposes.
