illinois or Massachusetts, or Oklahoma

The analogy is not exactly accurate,
but fairly so.
United States Of Britain.
Home rule may be we'll defined, in
deed, in a quotation from one of its
ablest opponents. who, speaking on
another subject and discussing the
British empire in tomorrow's world,
said:
Il cannot help thinking that as we
in England have now thoroughly rea-
lized in every one OF these great COM
munities that each is to manage its
own affairs, carry out its own life,
make it's own experiments as freely as
il it were an Independent political en-
tity-as that Is q truth thoroughly un-
derstood by every politician Of every
party in every one of these several
communities cannot help thinking
that upon that solid basis we shall
build up something which the world
has never yet seen, which political
dreamers In the past have never yet
dreamed of, a coalition of free and self
governing communities who feel that
they are never more themselves.
never more masters Of their own fate,
than when they recognize that they
are parts Of a greater whole, from
which they can draw inspiration and
strength; and that each lives its own
life: and is most itself when it feels
itself in the fullest sense self-govern-
ing entity which yet has larger
whole to look to. whose interests are
not alien to it. on whom it can rest in
time Of trouble. from which 1t can
draw experience. to whom it can look.

These nations produce about half
of the sugar of tho world, and here
tofore the United States has drawn
heavily from some of them, notably
Germany, and at the present time the
ports of that country are completely
bottled up, SO the United States il
not likely to obtain any supplies
from that country.
Just what proportion of the pres
ent crop these nations now at war
will be able to harvest is a question,
although in many parts of Europe
under normal conditions the women
and children frequently work in tho
fields, SO that the absence of the
ables-bodied men might not make so
much difference were it not for the
fact that the governments of most of
these countries now at war have
Communicated all the available
horses.
Under the conditions prevailing it
seems probable that the people of
this country, who are the greatest
consumers of sugar in the world per
capita, may have to cut down their
candy supply during this war, as
sugar is bound to be high until such
time as normal conditions are re-es-
tablished in Europe.

FEDERAL PRISONER ESCAPES
 FROM TERRITORIAL PRISON

Hans Hjalmer Rutzebeek, tho Dane who was arrested Tuesday afternoon for the robbery of the P. II. Ganty grocery store, and who was yesterday held oyer by Com missioner Martin Conway to appear before the federal grand jury, made a sensational escape from the Skag- way federal jail between [ and 8 o'clock this morning, and RotwIth- standing that he had OEly about HiVs miuutes between the time of hIs escape and the time the alarm Waa given he has evaded the officers Bho have been after him and ia Etill at large, with no indication of hia whereabouts, although it Is Rurntg- cd that he may be hidden in the vicinity of the town awaiting aR op- prtunity to board some outgoing vessel CT a chance to steal a smaf boat n which to mako his getsway.
 The cell in which Rutzebect was confined is shut off from the large room used by the prisOaGrs during the day time by a heavy wooden door and upon the opposite side of the day room are the dooEs opening into the jailor's bedroom and into the hallway leading to the outside.
 Between 2 and 8 o'clock this morning Jailer. Jas. Rock, entered the day room in order to call RutEs- beck to his breakfast, leaving the door to the hallway open behind bim. Crossing the room hs kEock- ed OH the cell door and not receiy- ing any answer he repeated 1t. but still without result. He then uR-. locked the door, which opens out ward, and Rutzebeck, who had aP- parently been waiting for this oB- portunity, suddenly threw his weight against it, and so sudden and uR- expected was his onslaught, that he had pushed Rock aside and ,sPTNng through the outer door, closing it to behind him with it's spring lock. fastened, before the officer had tim to collect his wits.
 With the help of aR inmate of the jail, Rock was only & short time in regaining his freedom. but in the meantime Rutzebaek had made good his escape.

ROME, Sept. 3-Della Cbiesa was today elected by the Sacred College Of Cardinals on the ninth ballot to suc- c9eo the late Pope Plus X. He has chosen the name Benedictus XIV. Before his election he was archbishop of Be- Iogna.

I el, however. The walls of this chap cl are covered with the world ia mOus frescOes of Michael Angelo, and other masters of the Renais- sance. Here the daily canvas of votes will be taken. In this chapel the usw Pope will be notified of his election and receive the first ador- atiou of the cardinals, who elected nim. Four ballots will be cast daily until 9 Pope is elected.
 Above the altar in the Sistiue chapel is a tapestry representing the decent of the Holy Spirit, and also S. magnificent baldachine of velvet. The front of the altar is draped in red, embroidered in gold, and on the highest steps of the altar, where, during each scruntiny of votes, six candles will burn, is tIe temporary papaI throne. It is there that the new Pontiff will receive the first adOration of the cardinals. Along the walls of the chapel are ranged the seats of the cardinals in the order of their grade. Attached to each chair is a back from which arises a small baldachinc or canopy of velvet. When a new Pope is finally elected all these canopies drop to the floor save that which hangs over the chair Of the cardi- nal who has been chosen as the new head of the church. At the foot of the stairs leading te the altar stands the table at which the votes will be examined. At one side is the fireplace or stove in which the ballots are burned after being mix ed with damp straw. It is by watching the chimney of the Sistine chapgl that the people of Rome be Iieye &ey are able to tell when each ballot is taken by the smoke which arises. The votes of the clectiug ballot are not mixed with straw and by the clear wisp of smoke the people watching below know that they have new Pope.
 At the entrance to tho chapel is placed the cabinet in which repose the white Vestments in which the new Pope must be clothed the mo- ment he is elected. h order to meet the physical dimensions of whatever cardinal may be elected it is usually customary to keep in the cabinet yestments of three diff ferent sizes.
 All of these preparations were made during the nine days of the funeral ceremonies of Pope Plus x. When the cardinals and their suites enter the ConclaYe after the oath is taken, pledges of secrecy are taken from the servants, priests and all others whose presence is necessary. The signal is then giV-
 eu for the walling up of the con claves. All corridors and adjoining
