had wonderful relief from Doan's

MAIL ORDER HOUSES
SUGAR OFFERS" WERE USED
As A BAIT.

Sioux City Journal: Mail order
houses and their methods of competi-
ton were scored by John A. Cunning
ham, secretary of the Iowa Retail
Merchants association, in an address
last night to members of the Sioux
City Retail Merchants association.
Mr.. Cunningham, with julius A.
Knappner, Of Council Bluffs, state
president, have been in Sioux City
for the last two days making ar
%rangements for the annual conyen-
ton of Iowa retailers which will be
held here during the latter part of
April.
The sugar offers" said by retail
merchants to be made by mail order
houses TO induce patronage, have not
been fulfilled, according to Mr.. Gun
ningham, and the matter has been
brought before the federal trade com
mission in the form of a complaint.
1T has been a practice of some mail
order houses" said Mr.. Cunningham,
Ito offer sugar as below cost to in
duce people to make further pur-
chases and many cases have been
brought to my attention wherein the
money sent by customers for sugar
has been returned with the remainder
of the order. The mail order houses
in such cases said that there was no
sugar available to fill the orders and
the customer was not given fail
treatment.
III is the hope OF the retail mer-
chants to protect the as
well as themselves in the prosecution
OF the mail order houses who have
been using unfair tactics in obtain
ing and stimulating trade"

TRINITY Wins
NORMALS LOSE HARD, ROUGH
BATTLE BY Fl TO IL COUNT
SHOW IMPROVEMENT.

owe Madison Normal at the local
gymnasium last night after forty
minutes of rough, hard participating
Normal fight" held the score down
to reasonable proportions. The score
was 81 to ~.
Normal rooters received a lot of
encouragement In the first half as
the yellow and white team played "a
desperate, aggressive game and made
Trinity play ball" every minute TO
keep pace with them. So fierce was
the play and so close the guarding
that no more than four points sepa-
rated the teams at any stage.
Wagner's men led by one point at
the middle OF the half, but In the
closing five minutes the Trinity five
swept down the floor apparently at
will and pulled up at the whistle with
the count 9 to 5 in its favor. Nor
NAL had secured practically an even
break to this point and the rooters
were pleased.
The second half was full of fouls,
free throws and intermittent basket
ball. Bad blood developed between
some~of the players and spills and
hard words were too conspicuous.
Incidentally, Trinity was able to
rough it and play basket ball at the
same time and scored IL while Nor
NAL was landing Z.
In this period the blue and gray
displayed some great passing, almost
machinelike in its sweep, and clever,
long distance basket shooting while
Normal, despite the insertion of a
substitute, seemed unable to get to-
gether except in brief flashes.
Normal took the ball down to the
basket again and again, but missed
numerous easy shots and while
guarding well enough to prevent an
initiation, were unable to stop the
Sioux City outfit from inserting bas-
kets when they counted the most.
The long pass game employed by
the locals was futile against the
close, brainy guarding of the blue
and gray, while Trinity managed to
mix long passes with short otter
enough to cage enough field throws
to win by a fair margin.
Normal had the ball up TO the bias.
ket often enough in this period, but
missed numerous easy losses righ'
under the net and this failure, cou
pied with wild passing and miserable
fumbling, threw away the opportu
nifty to win. The yellow and white
practically gave one basket to Trinit,
by starting to pass almost under III
own basket with a man free In tn
center. and a Trinity man was aler
enough to come down the floor, taxi
the bali away and register a fiel'
goal.
At that the Normal men showed

The PEOPLES FORUM.
The Government of The State of
Maryland

To the Editor Of The Republican.
The government of the State of Mary
land, as that of the United States, is
founded upon the right Of the people to
rule themselves. We continually de-
clare our allegiance to this principle
without stopping to consider how to
make the peoples rule a reality. If
the people are to rule they must eX-
ercise the powers necessary to make
this rule effective. They cannot ex-
ercise needless powers without weaken
ing the force and effect of the needful.
To perfect their rule the people must
be able to determine the broad policies
they desire pursued and select respon-
sible agencies by which these policies
are to be made effective.
Our State policies are defined and de-
termined, first, by the Constitution
which is adopted by the vote of the
whole people; second, by our legislature
GncludiDg the Governor who in certain
particulars is LEGISLATOR, a selected
pursuant to the Constitution, and,
third, in certain states of the Union, in
an important degree through initiative
legislation, proposed by some of the
people and adopted directly by all of
them, and in a lesser degree, as exists
in Maryland, by Referendum to the
people after the legislature has acted.
To carry out these policies and m Il
the daily exigencies of administration,
we need only elect for the state the
governor and Legislature and for the
counties, Boards Of Commissioners. In
fact, in our elections we do not content
ourselves with these simple necessary
things, but we name through what is
assumed to be the voice of the people
at the polls great number of subordi-
nate officers whose functions are purely
Incidental or ministerial and who have
little or nothing to do with the carrying
out of the policies in which the people
are concerned, and whose selection
should be properly left to the central
agencies the duty of which it is par
to enforce the will of the |
people. : In this we put upon the people |
a burden not essential to popular |
