MUST NOT BE TOO PROMINENT.

The Postoflice Department has given
IFS hundreds of thousands of employees
all over the country official notice that
they may take reasonable and discreet
interest in politics, but that they must
not become too prominent. The ques-
ton of how far a postofice clerk or
letter carrier, or even the postmaster
himself, might 60 in his interest in his
party's welfare WAS seriously discussed
by Postmaster General Payne with
President Roosevelt sometime ago, and
before he went away Mr.. Payne com
municated the result of this conference
to Mr.. Wynne, who was to be acting
postmaster general all summer, when
n6ni ing conventions would be in al
most daily session. A day or two ago
Mr.. Wynne received letter from a
western postmaster asking officially GER
.ain questions which tended to show the
limits of permissible political activity.
In his letter to the Postofiice Depart
ment the postmaster asked these ques-
tons:
Gam ! prohibited from joining 4
political club?
"Can make voluntary financial con-
tributions for the good of the party?
"Would | be prohibited from acting
Is a delegate to county, congressional
n state conventions"
In its reply the Postoiiice Department,
through acting Postmaster General
Wynne, laid down the following prin-
ciples for the guidance not only of this
individual postmaster, but of all the
employees of the Postohce Department:
ain reply to your letter you are in
formed that you are not prohibited from
Joining political club, nor from max
ing voluntary financial contributions
outside of government Office or build
ing. nor from acting AS a delegate to a
county, State or congressional conven-
ton.
"You should not however, serve as
chairman of State or county committee,
nor take active part in conducting a
political convention nor make yourself
unduly prominent in local political
matters"
While the limitations placed on politi-
cal activity in this letter by Mr.. Wynne
refer of course, only to the employees of
the Postoffice Department, the letter is
in effect concise abstract Of the Presi-
dents views and wishes, and other en-
ployes, like those of the Treasury De
partment, will be expected to guide
their conduct by the spirit of this letter
1t is by no means unlikely, however,
that Secretary Shaw will, before many
days, send a general letter to all the
employees of his great department, writ
zen along the lines of acting Postmaster
General Wynne's communication,

CruDAD Bolivar BoMBARDED. Gu.

CfUDAD BOLIVAR BoMBARDED. -Ciu-
dad Bolivar, capital oft State of Boil
var. has been bombarded by two Vene-
zuelan government warships, and many
persons have been killed or wounded.
The city has a large British population,
and the British subjects have requested
that a British warship be sent for their
protection. 1t is charged that atrocities
have been committed at Ciudad Bolivar
BY both the government troops and the
revolutionists. Ciudad Bolivar was fired
upon day and night by the gunboats Boil
var and Restaurador, which attempted to
land forces to reoccupy the place.
About 600 shell were fired into the city.
When the ammunition of the Restaura-
dor was exhausted she left for La Guayra
to obtain additional supplies, after which
the bombardment will be resumed. There
are no foreign warships in the Orinoco
river TO protect the interests ofthepowers,
and the British government is being
blamed for abandoning its 3, 600 subjects
who reside iE the district of Ciudad Boil
var. The Dutch government has notified
Venezuela that it refuses TO recognize
the blockade of Venezuelan ports, as be-
ing non-effective.
