The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-03-27

Honolulu, T. H., March 26, 1907.
Editor Advertiser: AS the frequent
attacks of the Sun Chung Kwock Be
on the professional gamblers have al
ready brought to us many enemies
from the lower class, the reports in
your columns of the 25th inst, will not
increase the number of our friends
who find that our paper is the best
| advertising medium and goes to the
| best homes and offices of our Chinese.
Comparing the size of our paper and
| the number of our advertisers with
those of the other two Chinese pa
pers combined, you will find that this
youngest paper is the largest and most
popular among the Chinese of the
| Territory. AS the weight of our post
office tells no tales, an examination
of our postage receipts will clearly
show that We have nearly five times
as many subscribers as the other two
have. Do you think our Chinese are
SO blind and ignorant that they turn
down others and support a paper
which you stated in your columns to
be an organ of a society that uses
thuggish and grating methods?
zee Bing has never been a member
of the Bow Wong Society. His failure
to produce a certificate of membership
will be sufficient proof that he might
have been one of those who have re-
Gently falsely represented themselves
to be Bow Wong and a member of
the reform society.
Where is the Merchant Associa-
tom of which zee Bing is said to
be the treasurer? Can you publish a
list of it's officers and give the busi-
ness in which these officers are en-
gagged? Sometime ago there has been
formed a society of which the presi-
dent has once been arrested and the
secretary convicted of perjury. An
examination of the record in the dis
trict court of this city and a look at
a recent published list of officers of
a certain organization in the other
Chinese newspapers will test whether
what we have said is true.
In your report of 18th inst, you have
said, THE Bow Wongs are extremely
jealous of the Merchant Association
and bear it no good will Will You
ask the person who gave you this in
formation to translate some of our ar
ticles which they consider to be an I'M
just and wrongful attack upon the
Merchant Association"
We have never mentioned the name
of Yee Bing or called him an anarchist
or said that he has carried with him
a large sum of money entrusted to
him by revolutionary party of which
he is the treasurer, although we con-
slider our duty to stamp out rebels |
who try to bring calamity to our
country. AS China is our country, any |
attempt on the part of the rebels to |
move will be by US made public so
that no riots can be successful in the |
soil of our beloved land.
The rebels have no supporters from |
the intelligent and reputable class. |
They have only a band of thugs and |
boxers who have eight years ago near |
ly succeeded in causing China to dis |
by their cruel massacre |
of missionaries. The leaders of these |
rebels are ambitious, unprincipled and |
ignorant.
Our editor did not make any promise |
to retract or apologize. What the Sun |
Chung Kwock Bo will do will be found |
in the report of the committee whom |
we do not recognize as a committee /
Of the people.
They may start tong wars or take
any action but we will continue to do |
our work for the good of not only the |
Chinese of this Territory but Of the !
home land. We do not believe China
IS ready to accept any other form of h
