feeling here which is one of satisfaction.
The new Pontiff is a man of simple origin and
although not very prominent candidate he had
been frequently mentioned as one of the many
cardinals who might be taken up as q compro-
mise. In several respects he resembles his ven

culture and piety. Having been associated with
no factions this fact alone won him much favor
from foreign cardinals who were without an es-
pecial candidate. Plus X was hamcrousy de-
scribed as "a country mouse who could not pos

know the new Pope well say that he will soon
be as much beloved Pontfn as he was yester-
day rs the beloved Patriarch Of the Key of the

ated with the famous Pcntiffs who for centuries
have ruled the Vatican.
