Rulers in the great Unseen Empire of
Finance will prevent further war among
civilized nations, being now on the side
Of Peace. Such is the belief of DIR.
David Starr Jordan, president of Le-
land Stamford Jr. University, and this
idea was the crux of his mastery ad-
dress last evening in the Hawaiian
Opera House on peace and arbitration.
There is, in his opinion, not a great
nation that could war upon another
without endangering the investments of
this Unseen Empire, for civilization
would be submerged and the enormous
wealth of nations destroyed.
In the presence of an audience that
filed the Opera House TO the doors,
with the stage occupied by influential
men of Honolulu. Doctor Jordan pre-
sented an array of facts and arguments
which seemed to weave a conclusive
brief for the universal peace movement,
and at the conclusion of the address the
audience rose to voice a unanimous
vote in favor of the holding of an Inter
Race Congress in the Pacific, preferably
part of the world s activities, TO follow
the Race Congress now in session in
London. The resolution was offered by
Governor Walter +. Frear, and second
ed by President John Gilmore of the
College of Hawaii.
The forepart of the stage, from which
Doctor Jordan spoke, was draped with
American and Hawaiian flags. In the
ID hr,
A. Lewis Jr, chairman of the meeting
and Governor Frear. The forty or more
others ON the stage represented the
commercial, financial, educational and
religious organizations in Honolulu. Ii
the boxes were many leading men Of
the city.
Following a brief musical introduc
tory Of patriotic airs, Chairman Lewis
opened the meeting with short ad
dress, as follows:

Chairman A Lewis Jr., in introducing
Doctor Jordan, said:
''Ladies and Gentlemen:-It is par

of all nationalities and of the various
commercial and religious organization
should have so tremendously joined il
assembling this audience to again wei
come Doctor Jordan to Honolulu, ant
TO hear him discourse upon one of tn
most vital subjects of the day.
