foreknew, they failed to keep their
part Of the Covenant, by deeds Of
Law shall no flesh be justified" A
number of discouraged lsraelites con-
tinued to hope for blessing through the
Abrahamic Covenant and, later on, the
Lord revealed to them that in due
time he would make a New LLawl

would be its Mediator Jeremiah xxi,

The promise of a New Covenant i'm

knew that the Law Covenant would
not bring to Israel the hoped-for bless

tered in the New Covenant, under
which the Lord promised that he would
entirely blot out their sins and take
away their stony heart and give them
a heart Of flesh and that they should
be his people. Conirmatory to this
thought was the message sent to them
through Malachi the prophet, assuring
them that the messenger of the Cove

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-08-30

is a thing of the past, At present
nearly all lands capable of agri-
cultural development have gone
into private ownership so that the
acquiring of land today can only
be secured by purchase. One
thing is certain, the cost of living
is constantly increasing, and by
an examinatio of the foregoing
conditions it can be readily seen
that there is no hope for different
conditions in the near future
except by change of domicile.
More people must derive their
living from tilling the soil.
In the eastern sections of the
United States, or the manufacturing
districts, the urban population is
much greater than the rural, but
the disposition to remove from the
farm to the cities seems to be quite
evenly distributed. Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Nebraska and Kansas,
great agricultural producing states,
had an actual decrease in rural popu-
lation from 1890 to 1900. The popu-
lation of the state of Minnesota
increased 4O5,293 from 1895 to 1905.
Of this amount 97,555 was rural.
The changed social conditions
which are going on so rapidly in the
United States were brought to the
attention of the laboring people
more forcibly than ever during the
winter of 1908 and 1909 when up
wards of two million laborers were
out of employment. There now seems
to be a desire on the part of many
urban families to acquire lands on
which they can build future and
profitable homes, but lack of infor-
nation as. to the real conditions
existing in the different sections,
together with the scarcity of money,
prevents many of these families
from removing to the rural districts.
The increased demand and high
prices of products of the farm and
garden are now convincing the more
intelligent laborers of their greater

is TOO MUCH MOVEMENT
FROM COUNTRY TO CITY
"A Great Problem Confronting American People," Says
Immigration Commissioner Welsh, us the Rapid
Shifting of Population from Rural to Urban" ..

"One of the great problems con-
fronting the American people is
the rapid shifting of her popula-
ton from rural to URBAN" said
George Welsh, state commissioner
of immigration, recently in an
interview with an representative
of the Pioneer.
Little appreciation is had of
the rapidity with which this change
is going on, and it is we'll to bring
the facts out clearly by statistical
quotation. In 1890 the rural
population of the United States
was 36,o96, 54S, while in. 1900 it
was 39,528,398, an increase of
3,431,85o. In 1890 the population
of the United States was 63,o37,-
7o4, while in 1900 this had
increased to 75,14S,576, so that
the population of the nation had
increased 13,11o,872, or 9,679,o22
urban as against 3,431,85o rural.
While this proportionate
increase is greater in recent years,
it has continued for many years
and is still increasing with great
rapidity so that it is now estimated
that over 50 per cent of the people
of the United States are living in
the cities and villages.
Some argue that the improved
conditions in farm machinery are
responsible for.this and that it is
natural consequence from
changed social conditions. Ger
ta1nly farm machinery has
improved so that the labor upon a
farm now is reduced to the mini
mum as compared with the days
of our forefathers; but a CORE.
spending increase IN labor-saving
machinery has taken place in
manufacture so that it is fair to
estimate that one will offset the
other.
Probably the change mentioned
above can be more accurately
attributed to the rapid disappear
ing of public lands. Frontier life
