NOW ALL GET TOGETHER
FOR THE p. o. SITE

FOR THE p. o. SITE.
From the Salisbury News.
Now that the people of Salisbury
have agreed almost unanimously on
the location for the new Federal
Building, let everybody get busy and
do something to impress the govern
ment with the real sentiment of our
people. The Business Mems Club Of
the city should circulate petitions in
every section of Salisbury and also
with all the country people who are
patrons of the Office and let the COM
mittee selected to confer with the gov
ernment take or send to Washington
a monster petition which will impress
the government officials as to the real
site for the Federal building.
If some such action as was taken at
the court house last Thursday night
had been taken a year ago, we have no
doubt the site which our people have
all centered on would have been Sc
lected before this and we would have
been far in advance towards getting
our new building. The Associated
Merchants Club has shown its ability
TO take hold of public questions with
a vim which carries real conviction
and good work with it and this asso-
citation as was pointed out in The Wi
comico News several months ago, can
be made to be real power in this
community so long as this power is
used for the benefit of the public and
the progress of Salisbury.
The work of getting the postofice
site is not finished by a long way,
however, in fact it has hardly started.
The real work now is to get the gov
ernment TO see it our way and this
will entail some hard and serious
work on the part of the committee
having the matter in charge Statis-
tics showing the business of the city,
maps showing the central location
of the site and its respective dis
tances from all Quarters of the city
and comparative statements as to
how much money has been spent i'm
other cities the size of Salisbury
for sites should all be tabulated to
lay before the government officials
Now that we have agreed on the site
let nothing remain undone to land
the location. It's up to this commit
tee and our people will look to them
to solve the. whole situation and land
the site.

Stand uncovered. Coach McAvoy
is passing. The coach, assisted by
the athletic council, has rendered an
unreckOned service to the college and
TO the State. The field meet on Sat
urday. planned to the smallest de-
tail, was a success, as expected At
no event of the year are the qualities
of the student body made so promi-
nent as at these athletic meets.
Everybody loves a true spOrt-and
Mr.. McAvoy is a master of those lit
tie cOurtesies that appeal so strong
ly TO the outdoor enthusiast.
But aside from this, Field Day
brings that feeling of relationship
between the college and the public
schools as no other event of the year.
High school students thus brought to-
gether are made to realize a sense
of ownership, that promises much
for interested support in the future.
Many will enter as students and thus
link themselves with the college
growth and development. But whether
students or not, they. as the coming
citizens, will have more than a pass

lege and its relation TO State affairs.

Novus Homo Thinks He Hit the Bulls
Eye in Speaking OF the Drift From
Farm To Town.

Correspondence Of The Journal
Your quotation from Attorney Cen
eral r. w. Bicketts speech at Pine
vile, y. c., on June md, 1915. Is a
mighty good text for voters to think
about from now until next election
dine. Statements like this from as
worthy a source as this one comes
should be carefully pondered and Civ
en their proper weight in the politi-
cal field There is enough in the
small squib that you gave US in Tues
days Journal to puncture the 'rind'
on most of us and put us to think
ing about what may be expected when
the remaining few home owners
among farmers lose out and are
found standing in the doorway of the
landlords house.
This country still has enough men

.duurways" to keep ii together little
while longer. But at the present rate
sof increase in the renters column this
will not be so much further on the
route.
MIR Beckett says The task that
Challenges the craftsmanship of the
hour is to stop the steady flow OF pop
ulation from the country to the
town." and in the next sentence OF
the quotation he explains the whyness
of this steady flow. viz: That men
seek to crafty their desires by the
route of least resistance. This. then
explains the cause why men are de-
sorting the country and trying their
hand in towns.
If the country offered the worker
his support on easier terms than the
town offered. then the flow of popu-
Iation would change and instead of
farmers drifting to the cities. city
workers would be drifting to the
country. Under our present system
of land grabbing this latter condition
cannot be even remotely hoped for.
Then if present practices are likely

to go back to farming or even expect
men who are now on the farm to stay
there, the farm must be made more
attractive. At the present rate of

hands of a class that is the work of
the farm who are there because they
cannot do anything else, and that
class of workers will be mighty

children will know. and We ought to
