Vlncenzi dlaehinno Pecci, Leo XIII,
who died recently nj the age of 93,
was, In my opinion, the greatest Pope
who over presided over the destinies
of the Church of Rome. Plus TX,
who preceded Loo, had proclaimed, as
other Popes had before him, the lnfal-
libility of the Pope. II raised terri
bio storm In the Christian world, as
all such proelamations always raised,
and much biting sarcasm and bitter
feeling was expressed, and the failings
of the Church and of the Popos, from
Peter TO Plus, were kept before the
public view, engendering and keeping
in the human heart things that do not
belong there. When Leo mounted the
Throne, much speculation was imme-
dIately INDUCED In, M to whether he
believed In the dogma of the Infalli-
bllIty OF the Pope. He paid slight at
tention 10 the matter nj first, but IL
finally remained for him, and his great
abilities, TO quell the storms which
had occurred many times from the be-
ginning Of the Church, and still IL for
ever. lie did not utterly repndlate
the dogma, but he explained It's mean
Ing. He compared the Popc,s bulls
and encyclioals 10 decisions Of the FLU
preme Court of the United States, and
said they were infallibly correct, until
reversed, The explanation WAS ae-
oepted with Joy by Catholics, who saw
an end 10 their questionlngs on that
soore, and was held In allegiance by
Protestants. Plus TX seemingly lived
In the dark ages, but Loo, In one
bound, placed himself nm nearly
abreast of science and advanced
thought as orthodox religion can per-
nit any man, 10 far IN his writings
and conduct are concerned, and doubt
leas, within HIS own mind, he was
clearly abreast of the leaders of nd
yaneed thought. His heart evidently
awellod for all humanity, for all animal
creation-for the flora and the fauna.
Shorn of nearly all temporal power,
he finally exercised more beneficial
influence and power than any of his
predecessors, who exercised plenary
power, temporal and spiritual.

mind Is hardly broad enough to under
stand why the young man, who had
never been In Nevada before and did
not know any OF our beautiful school
girls, should take such deep interest
In their future, without fear of punish
ment or hope of reward. But who
can doubt IL, In the face of newspa-
