PRESENT WORK.

Editor Evening Bulletin: 49, In your
issue of recent date. you reported that
Gee Leg Kite and Lai Tie Lin. editors
of Hawaiian.C Chinese News and the
sun Chung KwOck Bo" respectively, |
had a controversy on the subject OF |
Reform" and Kite was victorious: |
that lai Tie Lin had been discharged |
by the stockholders of the corporation |
and gone back to San Francisco to be.
come a highlander.
We saw your report n few days ago
and knew II was false. but paid no at.
tention: for we understood that you
only published what you heard from
a man who must be the friend of Kite;
and that you will correct the report
II you are informed truly. But some
of the friends of Kite took the report
in different way and forced us toI
make true statement concerning Mr.
Lai Tie Lin. who Is now working In
the editorial office of the Chinese
World" the best daily paper in San
Francisco.
The Sun Chung Kwock b." Of
the organ of the Chinese Reform AS.
ISOLATION, the aim and purpose of
which is known by its name. The "Ha.
waiIan.Chinese News" under the man.
agement of Kite seemed to oppose the
reform movement and follow the old
school, from where he has come. Kite
and Lai had an editorial controversy
which was ended by the refusal of l.ai
to continue the fight. Because Kite,
when he found his points were weak,
made personal attacks on the charaC.
ter of Mr.. Lai. Mr.. Lai, knowing the
public does not believe or care to
know the charges of the Hawaiian
| Chinese News made against him, did
not make any charges against Kite.
No one who has sense will believe
Mr.. Lai, one of the leaders of the re.
form movement. Is a highlander. Kite,
in his controversy, charged him OF be
ing highlander; but Lai, knowing
himself not a highlander, and there.
ended the controversy because he was
fully aware that the readers of his
paper. the best class of Chinese, will
not approve an editors use of paper
to make personal lights The refu.
sal of Mr.. Lai to reply to the personal
charges against him did not mean that
kite was victorious. Mr.. Lai might
charge Kite OF being thief when Kite
was a yardboy. But Mr.. Lai did not
make any such silly charge. Mr.. Lai
was not discharged. He resigned
voluntarily in order to take the edi
torial chair OF the Chinese World" of
San Francisco, and worked two months
longer after resignation in the Sun
Chung Kwock Bo.'
Hoping you will correct the mistake
through your valuable columns,
We remain, yours respectfully,
THE FRIENDS OF MR.. LAI.
