The Man That Counts.

Remember each Of you that the
chance for heroic endeavor Of rath-
err spectacular kind does not often
count; that the man who really counts
in this life Is not the man who thinks
how well he could do some bit OF
heroism If the chance arose. but the
man who actually does the humdrum,
workaday. everyday duties as those
duties arise. Theodore Roosevelt

WAIVER NOT SATISFACTORY
Does Not Meet With Approval of
COMMITTEE of Prosecutors and
New One May Be Signed.

Sentence of John Mitchell, vice presi-
dent of the American Federation of La
Dor. for contempt of court. was not inl-
posed by Justice Wright today. The YER
biage of the waiver sent by Mitchell to
any irregularity in imposing sentence in
his absence did not meet with the APP
proval of the committee of prosecutors
and another paper has been prepared and
forwarded for signature to Mr.. Mitchell,
who is in Oregon.
Attorney f. L. Siddons, for the labor
leader. told the court that he had tele-
graphed the form of waiver or request
dictated by Mr.. Darlington of the COM
mittee to Mr.. Mitchell with the sugges-
tion that he sign 1t in the presence of a
witness and forward at once to this city.
Mr. Siddons stated he expected that the
poper would reach him by July 25.
Justice Wright responded that the court
had intimated that it would consider any
request for sentence the absent
leader when made by him. Until that re-
quest was received there was nothing on
which the court could take action. He
passed the matter until the desired re-
quest from Mr.. Mitchell is received next

Suggestion From Counsel.

The suggestion of imposing sentence in
the absence of Mitchell had come from
his counsel. Justice Wright stated, and
the court had not attempted to indicate
what action should he taken by Mitchell.
merely remarking that the court would
consider any request made by the labor
leader.
The paper offered to Justice Wright
and to which Mr.. Darlington took excep-
ton is dated at La Grande, Ore. signed
by Mr.. Mitchell. and reads: Il hereby au-
thorize and empower the firm of Ralston
Siddons & Richardson to consent to the
imposition of a sentence upon me with
the same effect as if L We're personally
present in court to receive the same. Waiv-
ing as far as the reception of such SEN
tence is concerned, any right | might
have to be present at the time Of it's in

The form of request suggested by Mr..
Darlington ma 1es Mr.. Mitchell ask the
court to impose sentence in his absence
because of the great distance he now is
from the District of Columbia. and be-
cause of the serious Inconvenience to
which he would be put 10 return to

SCARCE IN PORTO RICO
Of-Season for Pestiferous In
sect Now Is Fortunately
Prevailing.

There is a season for feas down in
Porto Rico; certain months when they
are abundant and other periods when
they are comp aratively few in number.
The latter condition happens fortunately
to be the case on the plague-infected
island at this time. For Lieut.. Col.
Jefferson r. kean who has just return
ed to Washington and reported to secre-
tary Stimson the result of the study OF
the plague situation, makes it plain in his
report that it Is the flea. and not the
rat. that is directly responsible for the
transmission of the dread disease to
human beings.
This flea works evil in a curious way.
according to Col. Kean: not at all like
the deadly stegonia. which conveys the
poison of yellow fever into the human
system by sting or bit from his keen
proboscis
The flea carries the plague virus in his
body with apparent immunity to himself,
and 1t is only when the insects excretions
are conveyed into the human system by
vigorous scratching that the disease is
transmitted.
