DIRECTOR OF MINT ROBERTS
Greatly Depiores and Cannot Under.
stand the Speakers Action.

Washington. Sept 1S.--George
Roberts, the director of the mint. and
the editor of the Des Moines Register
and Leader, Wednesday, said:
The Speakers action Is unacconnt.
able to justify so extraordinary an ae,
He says that he is out of HARMONY with
great many Republicans in the state
upon the tariff issue. but he indicates
that the state platform is not unaccen,.
able, and l see no reason why be
should be disturbed by the expressions
of an Individual. He attended con.
ference of Republican leaders at Des
Moines. two weeks ago. which was also
attended by Gov. Cummings and Others
who favors the tariff revision. and they
had "A frank discussion of the situation
which ended harmoniously The Speak
er invited the governor to make several
speeches in his district and the latter
agreed to do ii.
The clause of the platform declaring
for any modification OF the tariff
schedules that may be required to pre-
vent their affording shelter to
monopoly, has caused the discussion
out there. The central thought Of the
platform is declaration of loyalty to
the historic policy Of protection. and
the urgent endorsement of reciprocity
as the natural complement of protec-
ton The shelter to monopoly
clause is in the trust resolution and is,
of course, to be read and interpreted
in connection with the regular tariff
resolution. Together they amount to
an assurance that the party will ad-
here to the policy of protection and
reciprocity, and that it will see that
monopolies are not allowed to abuse
the advantages given to home indus
tries for the purpose of developing
home industries and home competition.
Gen. Henderson's action is very
much to be regretted, for he has GER
tainly exaggerated the differences that
exist between himself and the iowa
Republicans who favored the platform
and give them commanding impor-
tance to which they are not entitled.

A high tribute is paid in the platform

death is deeply deplored. The platform
then expresses confidence in the admin
istration of President Roosevelt ana
says: ,
I'VE express our faith in his thoroughly
American and patriotic ideas, and we be-
lievc that his; leadership established con
principles and the continued prosperity
and progress of the country, and we
therefore favor his denomination to the
great office he fills with patriotism ana

port except that it omitted all reference
TO the endorsement of President Roose-
welt for a renomina ton was offered ana
vigorously debated. Finally the roll was
called and the substitute was defeated,

sponsibiity for its enactment.

serted that the party's object was the

cious bossism and makes honest gov
ernment impossible"
The high license system was opposed
and the party now in power was as
sailed vigorously.
A tribute was paid the memory of
Samuel F. Pearson of Maine. who was
spoken of as a hero martyr, true
man of the highest standard of no.

in defence of the supremacy of law, as
against both personal inquity and of
fetal perjury"
Rev. Amon S. Bisbee, the ministerial
deputy sheriff from Maine, presented a

the convention TO be used as a gaVel.

as if the little road could keep the
