st. Petersburg-The text of the
treaty by which the Corean kingdom
was annexed to the empire of Japan
was published here, and, in the case of

by bitterly sarcastic editorial.
The document, the paper says, con-
stitutes "a historical example of
senseless hypocrisy"
The judicial Importance of the treaty
is null, says the Novoe Vremya. The
paper adds that Russia's interests in
the hermit kingdom are insignificant,

The United States and Great Britain

the editor, who, however, concludes
that war is the sole means of annul

nobody would go to war for Corea.'

SCORES SUPREME COURT.


ace to Democracy.
| Denver--Acts Of the Supreme cour1
Of the United States were sharply crit
icized by Theodore Roosevelt in the
state capitol here before the Colorado
Legislature. The ex-president cited
two decisions Of the Supreme court
which, he declared, were contrary to
the principles of democracy. He de-
clared emphatically that II those de-
cisions indicated q permanent attitude
Of the court, the entire American sys-
tenn Of popular government would be
upset.
Colonel Roosevelt's speech before
the legislature was one Of five which
be delivered in Denver. Everywhere
he went he was greeted by cheering
multitudes which blocked the streets,
interfered with traffic and packed to
suffocation the various buildings in
which he spoke.
The auditorium, in which he deliv-
cred his speech on conservation, holds
10, 900 persons. yet it was large enough
to seat only part Of the throng which
clamored for admittance. The streets
outside the building were crowded with
other thousands who sought in vain to
gain entrance
II just feel as if I'd like to stay
here for good" Colonel Roosevelt said
after he had made three of his five
speeches. He added that he was taken
utterly by surprise by the size Of the
crowds which turned out to greet him.
An unqualified indorsen ent Of Colo
mel Roosevelt was given by Governor
Shaffroth and Mayor Speer, both of
whom are Democrats. This indorse-
ment was given in the presence of
thousands Of men and women, assem-
bled in the great auditorium which
was the scene of the last Democratic
national convention, where the colonel
spoke under the auspices of the Ma
tional Livestock association. The ova-
ton was far more marked than that
received by him at any other place in
his present journey through the West.
"The great majority of Republicans
throughout the West and many Demo-
rats will not be silent until they see
you at the helm of this great nation"
declared Mayor Speer, in addressing
COLONEL Roosevelt. "You are loved |
because you are not controlled. You
ire independent and your honesty of
purpose appeals to the heart. Your
courage has made your opponents won
Ter what you will do next"
You have work to do, wrongs to
light. May your life be spared to &C.
omplish the great work which the
american people believe you are des-
ined to perform"
Governor Shaffroth was hardly less
Enthusiastic in his reference to che
'isitor.
Speaking of the three essential
Qualities, honesty, courage and perse-
'erance," he declared, 1--WE have the
