Mr.. Heath Writes an Official Letter on

political Activity"
In a letter to Representative Minor,
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath has set forth the attitude Of the
Postoffice Department on the political
activity" of postmasters. The letter
says:
"O6ice holders are neither disfranchis-
ed nor forbidden the exercise of political
privileges. A just discrimination in this
regard is easy, in the light of correct
appreciation of the relation between the
people and those intrusted with official
place. This has been construed by the
Postmaster General to forbid postmas-
tiers from making their postoflices the rem
devious of politicians, and the place
where political subjects are discussed,
and also forbidding them from neglect
ing their duties by overactivity in polit-
zeal matters; but it is not intended to pre-
vent postmasters from the free exercise
Of all their privileges, the same as any
other good citizen,

that bubonic plague exists there. The
health board announces that it will con-
tinue a daily inspection and cleansing of
Chinatown for thirteen days. A suspi-

Waverley place, Chinatown, Thursday,
but before the inspector reached the
house the body had been spirited away
and concealed, the friends of the dead
man evidently fearing an autopsy.
President Williams of the board Of
health says some of the buildings in
Chinatown are in such bad condition that
nothing short of fire could eradicate
germs if they exist there. The move,
however, is not now contemplated, as
such a measure would greatly endanger
the city, Chinatown being located in the
heart of the downtown district.
