RETURNING THE MONEY

Honesty continues to be the best political policy for Senator Borah. He wishes to wash off the oil stain on the grand old party banner, and if no other honest senator or party potentate is interested in the enter prise he will look after this import ant matter himself. His plan Is to raise s16O.0o or so and return It 10 Sinclair in behalf Of the party. Inns ought to be nice for Sinclair, at least. If anyone got elected with the oil tainted money-well. it is pretty late in the administration to ask him to resign. Senator Borah at least hasn't mentioned this probability.
 Senator Eorah has made d start in his collection campaign and though the first contributions are small. the amount of sympathy he has received is much larger AZ honest Republican cannot refrain from feeling sad over the oil stain and if a way can be found 10 return the money naturally that will appear the right thing 10 do. Even Sin ! clair and the other oil magnates wht paid out good money 10 influence
 political action will be in favor 0
 the plan.

LATER MARRIAGES

Shakespeare married at IS; mother was married at II; George Washington approved the marriage of his stepson. 19, to a bride of Is.
 It would seem that nowadays mo- body thinks Of getting married when that young. The children may feel like it, the urge being within them today just as 1t was in the olden days; but it takes more economic security to take the leap into the sea of matrimony these days.
 Modern economic conditions are to blame for delayed marriage. Young people need more 10 get started in life: or at least, thtnk they do. The modern young damsel. accustomed 10 a high standard of life, expects her swain to be able to provide similar standard from the start; and Of course, most swains are not fi- nancially fixed to 10 anything of the kind. They require more time. And as time passes nearly every one IS acquainted with moro un- married bachelor and bachelorettes than our daddies or grandfathers were.
 The complications of modern life how more complicated they are getting every year. The modern youth thinks in terms of material ac- cumulations oftener than he does of q wife and family; at least, the family comes last. "l won't get mar ried until l can afford to support a girl in the way she has been accus- tomed,' is a frequently heard eN. rlanation by the swain. 'I won't ge' married until the right man come! along, enc who can support me il the way l have been living come from the girl.
 Thats why marriage today is de layod from six 10 ten years longe than it was q few generations age And when they do get married the don't have as large families of chil ,lren. This is another way in whic they get the best of the cconomi situation,

GENEROSITY, OR DUTY

The city of Los Angeles, having announced that II will pay the bill for the breaking of the san Francisauito canyon dam, might be regarded by the minimizing as generous. The action, however. IS more in the form Of duty. and there can be little doubt that had the city gone before the courts about it the result would have been the same, with court costs added.
 IL is distressing 10 read charges that Los Angeles was delinquent about the condition of the dam: that people in the neighborhood. noting it was acting queerly. found that officials paid TO attention to their complaints Of course. the dam had been built only q year ago, and per haps Los Angeles could not under stand why it should be weakening; and anyway, the people of the water sheds have been kickers from the 1 time the aqucduct was constructed i This warfare on occasion took the form Of sunplay.
 The water problem of Los Angeles i has been more difficult of solution than that confronting most Amer ican municipalities. The arid nature of much of the territory in southern California has forced the authorities to go far afield for an adequate water supply. and in region where water often virtually is worth i,s weight in gold the people near the water districts have looked upon Los Angeles as an interloper. The Los Angeles river runs through the city
 but it furnishes its own commentary
 upon conditions by being dry the
 greater part of the year.

 with water is the longest in the
 world, extending distance of more
 than 250 miles and brings the meltinE snows Of Mount Whitney to the city
