Come space has been given by daily
papers to the pledge Of two thousand
young people of Cleveland to live for
two weeks as they think Jesus would
live II he were on earth. Far be it from
US to discourage anything that tends
to the upbuilding of character and the
ennobling of I.fe, but the very fact of
taking such pledge, on the part OF
those who already profess to be Chris
tiaus, seems almost like burlesque on
Christianity rather than an express
sion OF christianity SHOULD this choice
be made by those who are not Christ
ians, it would be different thing.
Those who profess to follow Christ are
supposed 10 live as Jesus would. This
is all there is to the profession II they
are not doing so, IN SO far as they can,
considering human limitation, their
profession has more of emptiness than
solidity.
What is going to happen after two
weeks? There may be an extension Of
the movement. An experiment offour-
teen days, temporary expedient, just
to see how it goes, 10 not matter to
besheralded.far and wide. To live as
Jesus would for period of two weeks
looks like wheel. within a wheel,
with the stamp Of illegaiity upon the
large wheel of the general profession
Any forw ard movement marked by
more definite conservation, devotion
more permanent or richer joy because
of the berying of self out of sight, is to
be welcomed. If it shall grow out of
the spectacular news sent forth from
Cleveland, perhaps some good may re-
suit. The matter resem bles Charles M.
Sheldon's effort of ten years ago to
publish daily paper as Jesus would.
Bat there seems more justification for
Mr.. Shelicn's attempt than for the
display made at Cleveland. A Christ
ian is one who follows Jesus Christ,
not for two weeks under the gaze of
the world, but day after day in private
and in public life. Whatever good
fruits are gathered in Clevelar d Should
have grown from norm al Christianity.
The whole movement stamps ordi-
nary religion with inslnoerity. Re
ligious telescope.

Away Off in the strange isl and OF
New Guinea it is leap year all the time
in one important sense, for out there
all the proposals Of marriage are made
by the women 1T Is considered beneath
the dignity Of the mae inhabitants OF
New Guinea TO even notice woma /,
and Consequently the women perforce
must notice the men and must start
any idea of weddings, etc
So when the island belle Of New
Guinea becomes in love, she promptly
sends piece of string to the sister of
the lucky man. II he has no sister
she, she sends it TO his mother or
to some female relative. This because
the man and his male relatives IRE as
sumed 10 be above Ia King any steps to-
ward acquiring a wife.
Then the sister says to the man IN :
VOWED, "Brother, | have news; so and
so is in love with you If inclin-
ed to matrimony, the man makes
an engagement to meet the ena morec
lady. When they meet it 10 alone,
they either decide to wed or drop the
entire proposition at once. There is no
counting for the man is not allowed,
theoretically, at least, to waste any
time on wonan-not even enough
time to make love to the lady or to al
low her to make love to him.
The betrothal 10 ANNOUNCED and the
engaged man in New Guinea is brand
ed on the back with charcoal, but the
woman's mark Of engagement to wed
is actually cut into her skin and is
never allowed to com pletely vanish. If
either one decides to break the engage
ment, nothing can be done by the Of
fended party.
If the girl decides that, after all, she
sent the little piece of string by mis-
take, the man Is apt, however, to catch
her some time alone and beat her. If
the man jiit the woman, her relatives
often hunt him up and administer
sound clubbing. Blood, however, is sell
dom shed, as the breaking of these
wemen-made engagements is not
deemed a very serioue mater
Though the women propose the we'd
dings in New Guinea, the condition of
the wife is miserable and unjust in the
extreme. The girl is merely the proper
ty and slave of her husband. He can
beat her unrebuked and even kill with
impunity if she ineurs his enmity.-
Exchange.

Des' Moines Western Leaguers
Battling With Islanders
This Afternoon.
STARK Is NOT IN LINEUP
Reason Therefor Is That There Has
Been Misunderstanding as to
His Remuneration.

The Des Moines team is in the city
today and this afternoon the game
with the local organization is on. Jack
1ighe's team is in excellent shape and
the usual lineup will be used. 1t was
undecided just who would do the twirl-
ing, but Jack figures that it doesn't make
much difference as he believes any
of his slab men can turn the trick
The game was called at O'Clock.
stark Not in Game
Claude Stark is not in the game this
afternoon, and thereby hangs doleful
tale. A couple of weeks ago the Rock
Island management received an offer
from Manager Finn of Little Rock for
the sale of Stark and reply was sent
that the terms were acceptable. pro.
vided the player would work for the
Three-Eye salary limit Firms only
response was TO send Stark on. On
arriving here the latter seems to have
first discovered that there was
a salary limit, and hence he hest
tated to sign for less than he was re-
ceiving last year. So there you are
Stark WAS willing to play today but
Manager Tighe thought best to guard
against possible complications The
local management has no disposition
to be harsh with Stark, who does not
seem to be to blame, but the player is
a great favorite here and it is hoped
most earnestly that he will be able To
see his way to attach his name to
contract
Ticket Sale Is Slow.
The time for buying the 81 tickets
to the first game at Island City
ball park is rapidly passing and as yet
the management reports that the sale
has not been altogether satisfactory
The cold weather seems to have had q
benumbing effect on the ticket sellers
and as a result they have about ceased
their eXertions. When it is remem.
bered by the fans that buying a ticket
means that so cents will be donated
to the club treasury, their hands ought
to go down deep in their jeans to rake
up the necessary PUNK
The game in Davenport tomorrow
afternoon will be called at 3:15 in
stead of in order that the local fans
can get to the Davenport ball park
