The mischief-makers are probably associated with the lawless elements, which divest them of all fear. Look, for example, at the Kwun Yan of Sai-ying-pun where lawless people assemble and gambling is carried on quite openly, where also great and wicked Triad Associations exist in broad daylight. It is not that the police do not know and see. But if, while knowing and seeing, they seldom catch any offenders, it must be either because they are in league with them or they are afraid to act. If the police seek to hush up the case, whose business is it? And if the police dare not speak out, who else will? If one dares to break out and speak, and those that are in league with the criminals give them information, he is sure to suffer for it. It is dangerous and sad indeed! The Government of England, which protects the people all round, not even neglecting ordinary nuisances but appointing a special officer to deal with them, will surely not submit to be hoodwinked by subordinates in regard to the greater nuisances of Triad Societies and gambling. The present writer knows that he has only to wipe his eyes in confident expectation of seeing the good Government maintained, the people at peace, and himself a grateful sharer of it. Long live Great Britain in prosperity and peace!
