AN OPINION.

Of course, the system of awarding the prizes in the Social Corner can not be understood from the outside, and the opportunity for disappoint- rent is recurrent with most every dis tribution of the prizes We wish to say right now there is no favoritism .n it, as the awarder doesn't know to whom the money is going.
 One reader of and contributor to the column frankly wrote us that she didn't think the awarder of the candy contest prizes was much of a judge, and gave the editor her reason why, which was sufficient to her, but not SO to the editor. But we prefer let ters of this kind to unexpressed ob- tections and suspicious and general disgruntlement. It may possibly have done the writer some good and the RHarder of the prizes no harm.
 The shouted warning of a Westerner 10 @ disgusted audience that was in imminent danger of breaking violently out against a young actor: Don't Rhoot' He's doing the best he can!" might be applicable in this case.
 The Bulletin offered three prizes and awarded eight, and there was one writer who helped more than all the rest who didn't get a prize when the awsrder would have enjoyed passing two prizes to and would have then felt that she had not got her due. If nearly three times as many prizes were awarded as promised there could have been no injustice done, we think. to the contestants. if looked at from a proportional point of view.
 Whatever else may be said about this corner, let us have 1t understood that The Bulletin is trying to have a square deal with it's contributors and proposes always to dc little better than it promises.
 When it is known to the members of the Corner that some of our bright est contributors send in two or more letters week under different pen names, that they are not well enough acquainted with the merits of a sim gle writer on the face. of single let ter to tell whether the prize is merited or not, as it seldom rests on one alone. they may realize the chance there is for them to be mistaken in judgment. The contributors who report weekly certainly have an extra call for rec ognition when their work is constantly valued for its excellence.
 We hope the members will not hes itste to complain if they feel like it, for it is better for them and for us than silently cherished prejudice and disappointment.
 Shoot at the judge any time you feel like iSl-EDITOR SOCIAL COR NER.
