In other words, the theories and fundamental principals of constitu tional law should be taught alongside of tbe fundamental principles under lying the production of agricultural prod ucts. Those pri nci pies are stable, undergoing few changes. Every agri cultural citizen should understand that the^vernment of the United States under which we live is a government of derived powers, that it has no powers except those that have been conferred upon it and that the conferring was done by the sovereign States of the Union and that the mat ter conferred is enumerated In that document kpown as the constitution of the United States, and that, when be desires the national government to do anything In hU interest he must drat know whether the power to do that thing has been given that gov ernment In that Instrument. “If the power has been conferred then it la plausible and feasible to petition the ouogrma of Uw United States to do the thing deal red, but If ll has not bnso conferred then all the effort put forth In that direction la nartsm be- >-aus> If snrb a law wore passed It would be declared annunatitnthmal by i Mm t'nMsd Matas murts.

The Hinckley lire of 1804, which de stroyed Hinckley and five other Min nesota villages, burned to death 418 persons, destroyed 9750,000 worth of farm and town property, and about 400 square miles of forest. A fire in Southeast Michigan in 1881 burned the forest on forty-eight townships, destroyed 12,000,000 worth of other property, burned to death 125 persons, and made homeless 5,000. Another Michigan forest fire, which occurred in 1896, made homeless 2,000 persons and destroyed town and farm property worth 91,250,000. Wisconsin lost by tire in May, 1891,100 square miles of forest and other property worth 92,- 000,000. In 1894, in Wisconsin, thir teen persons lost their lives and 3,000 their homes and 92,000,000 worth of town and farm property was destroyed in the Phillips tire.
