Coordinate Responsibility Exists.

In his desire to avoid the calling of an extra
session of congress President Wilson has pre-
cipitated an argument that may give rise to an
impression abroad that the American people are
seriously divided at critical time. The phrase,
"other instrumentalities," as occurring in his
address to congress on Monday is susceptible Of
such Interpretation as to justify the opposition
of the body with whom the ultimate declaration
of war must rest. Very likely the president
sought to be clothed with the greatest possible
power short of the final decision, which must rest
with congress, and holds no thought OF usurping
the function of the legislative body. Both house
and senate object to this expression, however,
and while ready to grant authority for the pro-
lection Of American rights, are unwilling to Sign
blank check" for the president to fill in.
The Flood bill, presented in the house as EN-
bodying the ideas of the president, contains the
Objectionable phrase, and will hardly be passed
without amendment Congress is willing appar-
entity to make the most liberal provision for de-
frayng the cost of furnishing arms to American
merchantmen and for otherwise acting in de-
Tense of our rights at sea, but is not likely to
surrender its constitutional duty for the purpose
OF avoiding an extra session. In his address the
president indicated his belief that he already has
authority to do whatever he contemplates, but
felt impelled to seek confirmation OF this thus
expressing desire to share with congress any
responsibility. His request for greatly extended
power, therefore, may be taken as implying at
least an intention to stop short OF war.
Mr.. Wilson would make Roadway If he we're to
be more frank with his countrymen at this time.
II he has definite plans for the future especial
knowledge of the external situation of the coun-
try he can well afford to tell US just where he
stands. Back Of the president and congress are
the people of the United States, who are entitled
to know with what they are confronted when war
is an imminent possibility.

Washington, March II. The hotbed
md the cold frame are the gardeners
--ea,est aids in raising earlier crdts.
The hotbed enables him to plant seed
and produce seedlings long before the

TO germinate. The cold frame enables
him TO get the seedlings produced in
the hot house gradually accustomed
TO outdoor conditions and to raise
these into strong sturdy planting
stock by the time the garden is ready
for them. The cold frame is used in
hardening the plants that have been
started In the hOtbed or in mild eli.
mates for starting plants before the
seeds can be safely planted in the
open. Resetting plants from q Aotbed
