He admitted the merit of the plan. it's economy and the worthiness of becoming home owner but his sense of ease and luxury could not disassociate itself from the steam heated apartment with it's run ming hot and cold water and other el- bow accessories.
 The simplicity home was matter of home ownership at s60 per month for five years. The other was small apartment at $90 per month. with no ultimate showing for it. He confessed that the present luxury, although ex- pensive and non- productive of home held the greater allurement in spite of his being a husband and father.
 This instance is typical Of the choice that hundreds are making. II is the choice that thousands are debat- ing.

WADSWORTH WARNS i
OF TARIFF LAW MENACE
Predicts Depression Unless
Underwood Act Is Changed.

wATERro wN, n. Y, Oct 2-United
States Senator James W. Wadsworth,
Jr., In his speech here to-day discussed
the tariff question fer the first time in
his campaign.
''You all remember the industries de-
preston which slowly but surely spread
over the country in 1914" he said. FAC
tories were closing men were thrown
out of work and bread lines We're ap-
pearing in our great cities. That was
the result of the Underwood tariff Cor
revenue only law. The great war set up
a Tremendous demand for fos&-and sup
plies of every description and The enor-
nous purchases of the telligerents saved
the Industries of America from collapse
"All through the war this artificial
condition continued. 1t has lasted since
the close Of hos,ilities, Ter Europe has
not yet recovered from the ravages of
war.
But those nations have started on the
road toward recovery. and sooner than
some of us expect they wiz resume pro-
duction and will be sending their prod
ucts into the great American market
THE Underwood tariff law is still on
the statute books. If it remains and
Europe and Asia again dump their goods
on tho American market we shall go
through the same experience we were
having in 1914"

mains unsettled there VIII be friction
between the United states and Great

of the members OF the league the priv
llege Of calling up question which dis
turbed international relations, and made
the declaration which he has made be-
fore that he would. If elected. inn

This appeal for the Irish vote In
Missouri resulted from information
which came to Gov. Cox that the Irish.

that Missouri would go Republican.
