I also could not understand what purposes those committees had in allowing Lum and Lou to send such an unlawful telegram. In order to do such a thing, whosoever will destroy himself. He cannot come back to his native country and will leave the disaster to his family who are in China. It is why some of the committees did not attend the consultation, fearing to be an accomplice, and have recorded an explanation in the news paper immediately. Then the committee who did not record their explanation in the newspaper are willing to approve that telegram, approve the petition to dissolve the parliament, conspired against the Republic, and deceived their fellow-countrymen here. If so, we are not only denying the president and vice-president, but at the same time denying the blind¬ly obedient and conscienceless committees. On the other hand, if the committees censure Lum and Lou in their unlawful action of deceiving their colleagues, their reputation would be restored instantly.
So, if the committees take the president and vice-president as enemies, how much more should the general people treat them ?
Among the sentences of the letter, "We send this telegram to you,
"Please record it in your paper and advocate our purpose", is the most plain evidence of conspiring against the Republic; they who ask the
Tai Hon Po to advocate the people to dissolve the parliament are no doubt the leaders of the conspirators. We need not have any hesitation in condemning them.
"This will give a best influence to our native country. You will gladly help us." They considered to dissolve the parliament as the best influence in native country; they not only disregarded the Chinese immi¬grants here, but disregarded the Republic. Who would gladly help these criminals? It goes without saying that any who wishes to help them is a conspirator whom everyone can condemn. When I have written to this point, my hairs are already standing up (very angry). Why have we risen in revolution ? It is because Yuan Shi Kai has dissolved the parliament. As for Lum and Lou, in their humble position to advocate the people to dissolve parliament makes their crime greater than Yuan' s.
0, fellow countrymen! You must put them aside and dont' let the un- pure atoms remain in our Republic.
