Cised by the Mirror in selecting
gold cases with the most beautiful
engraved designs with a view to
having the gold watch prizes in
keeping with the other prizes for
beauty and artistic merit. A cor
dial invitation to call at the above
mentioned jewelry establishment
and view these watches is extended
the general public; IL will be as
much a pleasure to the jeweler to
show them as it is for the Mirror
TO have them seen. The watches
will also no doubt prove very poDu-
lar awards.

given as one of the truest symbols
of sincere affection and in offering
such prizes the Mirror is confident
they will be eagerly and anxiously
sought after by each and every
candidate. Looked at from a purely
practical standpoint also the dia-
mond is one Of the very best prizes
which could be offered. 1t has the
greatest intrinsic value, is never
worth less than original price paid
and with the market in its present
rising condition is steadily increasing
in value. The Mirror cordially in
vites everyone interested to call at
the above mentioned jewelry estab-
lishment and view these handsome
diamonds and give them the most
critical sort Of an examination, for
such an examination will only serve
to make them stand out in an even
stronger manner in the Light Of the
purity and perfectness. 1t is to be
believed that these diamond ring
prizes will prove about the most
popular in the entire list of Mirror
contest awards.

Puzzled Advocate. OF Prohibition

To THR EDITOR or TuR SUN-.Sir: observ,
that the National Wholesale LIQUOR Dealers Asso-
citation at Its recent national conv crtIon called the
attention Of the liquor dealers Of the country TO an
impending catastrophe" 70 their tlade through
the local option prohibition movement IN many
States. II was urged In a series OF resolutions that
the association undertake d vigorous campaIon
against the Prohibitionists, and to this end raise
a very lage campaign fund. Some OF the press
reports name this sum nj 81 900 900.
ON reading these various reports a query has
been running through my mind: What about
those repeated warnings given 10 us temperance
folks TO the end that prohibition does not prohibit,
but on the contrary increases the consumption Of
liquor by the simple law OF human nature that made
Il certain that Adam and Eve would cat Of the min.
PIN after II became forbidden fruit. lfmy memory
serves me this has been the attitude Of even 50
clear sighted, trustworthy a periodical as Is TuR
SUN, a paper that usually sees clear and straight.
Evidently the National Liquor Dealers Assocla ,,on
does not see the growth OF prohibition in exactly
that light. and II is quite likely II knows.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-tSfr: With the COM

l am still quite unable to see why the man who
has happened TO get an end seat should be called
a hog for not moving along at the approach OF the
next conner. II he Is decent about 1t and slews
around as far as he can to make It as convenient
as possible for people getting on or of the car,
why shouldn't he keep IT. There may be sound
reasons for bis k"e,ing 1t that We know nothing
about. He may be going only half a dozen or a
dozen blocks, and perhaps &c will really inconven-
ience fewer people by sticking to that seat than he
would II he had moved up and then had TO crowd
past people when he came to where he wanted to
get out. He knows that, II we don't.
II seems TO me entirely unreasonable 10 ask him
TO move up. anyway. always providing OF course
that he Is well hammered In holding his place and
makes ingress and egrcss as convenient as possible
for those passing him getting on or OF the car. To
be sure he should move up II an old lady should seek
TO get. on at that scat. or anybody who would md

ositon. why should he not hold the end scat? IL

It. should be give It up TO the first comerY
We try to buy the end seat In a theatre because
of It's greater comfort and convenience: In such
q seat We have an elbow boring into US on one side

and we can more easily get TO and depart from such

To THB EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: In dis
cussing the postmastership In an editorial
yesterday and again In a news article to-day
you referred TO Assistant Postmaster Morgan

do an injustice to both Of us. IL Ia true that

The district. however. was "a new one, in
which II was necessary that a new man be

the old district. was not a resident OF the new
one: but as both Mr.. Woodward and myself
were supporters OF Mr.. Parsons. the hitter
took no part in the primary contest in that
district, knowing that he would nave the
support OF whichever candidate should win.
There was no Odell candidate In the district.
may add also that when Mr.. Parsons first
became q candidate for president OF the Re
publican county committee MIR. Morgan and
I were among the very first In our district
to come to his support. and VIC have consist

To THR EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: In re-
Joinder to me MIR. james McGuffog Brown
quotes Mr.. Edward W. Townsend In Gunter's
Mo0dsine as declaring that the shipbuilders
of the Lakes get no subsidy for building or
operating ships" That Ia true, but they have
protection In another way-through the navi-
cation laws of the United States. which ex-
clude foreign ships from carrying between
one American Lake port and another. and
most of the Lake trade Ia between American
ports-Just as these same navigation laws
prevent foreign ships from carrying between
Savannah. These navigation laws, though
bitterly fought by the foreign ship colony
about lower Broadway, have given the United
States the greatest and most prosperous
coastwise and lake shipping in the world.
1t asks for no more protection because 1t
already has absolute protection.
Apparently Mr.. Townsend does not know
this. Apparently Mr.. James McGufog
Brown, for perhaps another reason, does not

subsidies to American ships in foreign trade.
