at Coming Election.

1t is generally understood among the
people Of Adamston that, however many
tickets are put in the field in the com.
ing municipal election in that very live
y town, there will be the same head to
all the tickets. The voice OF the peo-
pie 50 far as the Telegram has been
able to learn, but not from postal card
canvass, as is usually the case in New
York, Carl Drummond is the unanimous
choice for mayor. He is what might be
termed the Seth Low of Ad,umston. He
is strictly non partisan, and takes issue
with none of the several factions. He is
for the people as whole, and all the
residents Of that town recognize his en-
inent fitness TO be police Judge and pre-
siding officer Of the council. His neigh
bors, friends and all who know him are
insistent that he accept the nomination,
and they are willing, even eager, to
fuse" on him. Under the circumstances
the Telegram takes off its hat and sa-
lutes Mr.. Drummond as the first mayor
of Adamston.

w AN rs 200 CLERKS
INCREASED FORCE NEEDED IN
AUDITOR CASTLES BUREAU.
It Obtained It Will Be Transferred to
Another Building, Giving Depart
ment More Room.

Auditor Castle of the Post Office De-
partment- is utilizing the interval before
the appointment of his successor in pre-
pairing his annual report and the estimates
Tor increased force needed in the bureau
10 carry on its work. Although no details
can yet be obtained. 1t is understood that
the auditor will recommend an increase of
approximately 2OO clerks to the 600 already
employed In the bureau. Recently pub
nshed figures showed that during the SIX
years of the retiring auditors incumbency
the business transactions carried through
his books have increased So per cent and
the actual work 60 per cent. while the cler-
lcal force has increased only % per cent.
Yet the work Is claimed to be nearly cur
rent-a result accomplished only by an in
creaslng strain on the clerks. which has
now reached its limit. There is also cry
ing need for very important checks again st
enormous possible postal abuses, which
have never been applied in the auditor S
office, and cannot be applied with the pres
ent force, as has been fully set forth in
three or four recent annual reports.
1t is believed that important leSiSla tIon
suggested by late disclosures will also be
recommended All these suggestions can
come from the retiring auditor with what
ever additional force the fact that he has
no personal interest in the matter can give
them. The efficiency of the auditors office
is 4 prime factor in a successful postal
service, since all the receipts ard disburse-
ments are settled there-most of them
without any audit or examination what
ever In the Post Office Department. If the
accounting work gets in arrears the en-
tire mail system is at once crippled.
If the auditors clerical force is increas ed
as proposed Il necessary result will be the
transfer of part or the whole bureau to
another building. The space assigned by
law in the Post Office Department struc
ture is already overcroW ded. 1t is said to
be the opinion both of the Post Office and
the Treasury officials that an absolute sep
ara ton would be good for the service. In
case the entire bureau is removed, the
space it now occupies could be at once fill
ed by the outlying divisions of the Post
Office Department. to the great conVen-
fence of all concerned
