SHARP CRITICISM
FOR TWO DECISIONS
Declares Precedent, If Followed
Would Be Menace to Popular
Government.

DENVER, Aug 3O.-The frank crit
icism OF the Supreme Court by Col
Theodore Roosevelt and the distin-
on the conservation question, have
caused the widest discussion among
Colorado legislators and politicians
here today
Mr.. RooseveIts utterances with ref
erence to the Supreme Court were ex-
temporaneous and, evidently, had not
been planned In connection with his
address on the subject OF cOnser-a-
ton, which he delivered before the
Colorado Legislature late yesterday
afternoon
In the decision Of the highest tri-
bunal in the Knight sugar case, rem
dered Oh a highly technica1. legal
subtIety. declared Dir. Roosevelt, an
example had been set, which, If fol-
lowed, would render II exceedingly
difficult for the nation effectively 20
control the use Of masses Of corpO-
rate capital in interstate business
He continued
AS the nation obviously was the sole
power that could exercise this control
(for II was quite beyond the power Of
any one state, this was really a decis-
ion rendering II exceedingly difficult FOR
the people TO devise any method Of con-
trolling and regulating the business use
Of great capital in Interstate commerce

tionaI rights, but really against popular
rights
