Archbishop ireland Says the New Pope
Has No EntaneIing Alliances.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. Archbishop
ireland, in speaking of the new pope
said: $50 far as known, Cardinal
Sarto, now elected pope, is man of
deep learning and recognized prudence
of action. He administered the i'm
portant diocese of Venice in manner
to draw to him universal praise.
While archbishop and cardinal he sell
dom visited Rome.
'HHe enters into the pontificate free
from all entangling alliances, free in
every way to carve out for himself
his own career.
''The election of Cardinal Sarto is
not a surprise. 1t was evident from
the beginning that if one outside of
Rome was to be chosen that one would
be Cardinal Sarto and not uncommon
course of conclaves is to take as it's
candidate one outside of the eternal
city, SO that his future administration
may be from the beginning one entire
ly and manifestly inspired by his own
wisdom and knowledge of affairs.
This is exactly what happened when
leo XIII himself was chosen. /

his spiritu al life give assurances that
the attitud e Of the church toward the
powers an d toward the United States
in particul lar will receive no violent
or material | change through the initia-
tive Of the new pope. Nothing could
be said at the Roman Catholic legation
OF the pos ition Of the new pope with
reference t 10 the controversies growing
out OF the status of the friars in the
Philippines and the claims of the
church to the land controlled by the
friars.
1t is beKt sved that the policy of the
new pope iill be progressive and that
it will be directed toward preserving
the status quo in the matter OF the
Catholic Vi diversity and the liberal ell
ement in tn United States. There was
no means Il ascertaining, and probab-
ly there is no information at the le-
cation in r egard to. the relations be-
tween Care linal Gibbons and the new
