MORE TOURISTS
Than SHIPS CAN
HANDLE stone
Great Northern Official Says
Travel to Islands Will In
crease During Summer

That there are not now enough
ships on the Pacific to handle the de-
mand for first class accommodations
to Honolulu and that the tourist trend
to Hawaii and the western states will
surely increase during the coming
spring and summer, are two opinions
of Cal e. Stone, recently made pas
senger traffic manager Of the Great
Northern Railroad Though Mr. Stone
does not say definitely that the Great
Northern will remain on the Honolulu
run, he seems to anticipate big pay
ing business in tourist travel to the
islands.
In statement made in San Fran
cisco to the Call and Post on January
he said:
There are not enough ships now
on the Pacific to accommodate the de-
mand from the East for first class pas
sage on steamers to Honolulu, and this
is but the beginning of movement oil
tourist travel to the West that is like.
ly to surpass the expectations of the
most enthusiastic coast prophets.
Demands Too Large.
There was some question when the
Great Northern was put on the Homo.
lulu run as to whether the amount OF
travel would warrant the maintenance
of such steamer in that service. The
demand for accommodations has ex-
ceeded all our snticipations. We are
daily in receipt of kilograms from
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
the other large eastern cities request
ing de luxe reservations, but we are
far from being able to comply with
them.
The Hawaiian islands and Califor
MIA seem at present to be the principai
detectives of the great bulk OF east
ern winter tourist travel and this trav
el is sure to increase with the com.
ing spring and summer"

by faith", but both lead to dissolu- tion of all religion. There is no way out of it. And finally men must be found who will live up to their be- lief. There must be men who will not explain away dereliction of duty and falling away from their principles by explaining that it is done because one must do as the Romans do when in Rome.
 And that is where we come to these men who passively resist, but powerfully resist, militarism in Great Britain. If all who oppose wars acted like that, there would be no wars. If all believed in the brother hood of man as Christ taught it, there would be no misery and eX- ploitation that causes misery. There would be no such evidence of feroci- ous effort to crush the daring indus trialists who sacrifice themselves for principle, caring not what the world thinks. The conventions of the mo- dern Pharisee would not shackle every. freedom loving thought and every noble instinct. Obedience when obedience meant violation ot ones principle would be the supreme vice and not a virtue. Social dis cipline that built itself upon the ruin of personal freedom would be a so cial crime. Determination to sup press the efforts of those who live up to their beliefs would be non existent. There would be toleration there would be earnestness; there 1 would be sincerity where is now ty- ranny, indifference or hypocrisy.
 These things are so. Every man knows it. But every man builds ur his own indifferent morality upon his economic existence. The store keeper will pander to views he knows are wrong, vicious and unjust to hold on a valuable customer. The businessman will chasten his inde- pendent expression by careful diplo- macy lest he antagonize those from l whom he profits. The worker will crawl to hold job. and the entire fabric of our civilization becomes a hypocritical worship of fear: fear of an angry God who will punish
 in hell hereafter, or fear of ar l Angry Economic Power in this world who will punish with social ruin those who dare to hold views which may threaten the mainten- ance of that Power!
 It is true today that the power oi common morality is weak because of the economic power that benumbs il or the so-called religious power | which terrifies it.
 The religion of Love has become
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-12-02

religion of Fear, and until men will greatly dare for righteousness sake and for freedoms sake it will continue to be fear that rules the world.
 This is no exageration. Men will dare whisper to you that such is their opinon, but would not want it mentioned for the world or they would lose their job; invertebrates are perpetually grinding dope in the darkness of their privacy that others may inject it into the body polite with it's authorship unknown, be- cause they dare not express their open conviction lest it injure them commercially financially or socially. Few consciously realize, although they instinctively feel the tremend- ous force of this economic power. Its victims who affect to breathe an air of absolute personal freedom walk through this world wholly ig- norant of the fact that they are morally and physically the slaves of that power. They know that their acts are guided by what they term commercial prudence, but that is only another name for their fear of the consequences should they dare to express their views or dare to act as their convictions dictate.
 In the Magma Charta, this terrific Power that could make men afraid was freely recognized as incompat- ible with the status of a freeman and it is explicitly stated that mo man durst make him afraid. But they have now made them afraid, and they are prosecuting those in England who are unafraid and to make modern morality they have adjusted the requirements of the religious doctrines of Christ so that today one can not only serve God and Mammon, but he is the best divine servant who serves Man mon best.
