OTHER MEMS VIEWS.
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

New York Sun: The delegated pow
er of democracy may be enormous but
it can never be unlimited or autocratic
while democracy endures.
Executive power, even in an emer-
gency like the present, is limited both
by the constitutionally restricted ten
ure OF ONCE and by the will of the
legislative department Of the govern
ment.
Consequently, when President Will
son feels the need Of an extension of
power, in this respect or that, in Or
der to enable him to carry out the
nations purpose, we find him apply
ing to the congress for legal sanction,
not assuming. on the strength of a
supposed moral sanction or sanction
Of expediency. the new powers he de-
sires to exercise.
His judgment may be correct and
the judgment Of congress may be
wrong in a particular case, but the
constitutional limitations are, there
just the same, and they are observed
and respected by him and by all
Americans.
That is the difference between
American democracy and any sort OF
autocracy. The distinction is nowhere
more clearly drawn than in the mind
Of Woodrow Wilson, whom circum-
stances have now put so near to the
front in the world contest between
the two forms Of government.
