Timely Criticism (Column)
Heading: The Crime of Tsou Yue Lin By: Chung Wha
"Tsou Yue Lin is the executioner of the Chinese people. He had done a lot of evil at the time of China' s Monarohy under the Manchu rule as well as at the time of the Presidency of Yuan Shi Kai. He is the New Minister of communication in Tuan Shi Sui' s Cabinet. All the crimes he is doing now will cause the Chinese to be slaves forever as well as the national property will be sold altogether.
He is trying to fawn upon all the foreigners in order to kill his own people. So the people of China, once Tsou Yue Lin' s name is mentioned, gnash their teeth, and the people say "This man ought to be killed".
Now Tuan Shi Sui thinks he is the man who can
save the country, so he promotes him to be the Minister of the Foreign Department. We all know that the Tuan Government is unlawful. When Tsoue Yue Lin was in the position of Minister of Communication he tried to selle the country.
If he is transferred to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs he will repeat the same thing again (Now, why didn' t we suggest to kill him at the time when he was Minister of Communication; we have to wait until he is transferred to Minister of Foreign Affairs, and then we suggest that he should be killed.) But we want to xxxx see that, there is still a man in China who doesn' t want to see such a xxx traitor in a Government position. We urge this - we should all rise up to do away with this man. There are three criminals in China: Tuan Shi Sui, Tsou Yue Lin and Tsu Chue Tsang. If any man can grab Tsou Yue Lin and kill him it means that he has killed a criminal, then his service will be immense to the country.

Based on the time it took mail to circulate in the early 20th century, it seems probable that this letter was written in mid-October, a couple weeks after the article was published in the newspaper.
