"a speech in the house today urging

equal of twelve-inch gun
"no you know" he said, how many
men we need to man our present
modest fleet and auxiliaries? About
100. 900 DO YOU know how many we

new POPE A SAFE
ruler OF CHURCH
CATHOLIC AFFAIRS COLUD BE
IN NO MORE CAPABLE
HANDS.
HAS EXCEPTIONAL TRAINING
EXPERIENCE UNDER CARDINAL
RAMPOLLA FITTED NEW
PONTIFF FOR DUTIES.

Affairs of the Catholic church could
be in no more capable hands than
those of the new pope, Benedict XIV,
said Archbishop John Ireland recently
to Pioneer Press reporter. The sue
cessor to the late Plus x, is an ex-
ceptional diplomat, remarkable schol-
ar and will make a pontiff in whose
hands the destiny of the Catholic
church is absolutely safe, in the opin-
ion of Archbishop Ireland.
The head of the st. Paul archdiocese
has known the new pontiff for many
years and expressed the deepest salts
faction over his election as he ex-
tolled his merits.
"In view of the tenseness of world
politics attendant on the European sit
uation, no more astute nor admirable
selection, could have been made by the
Sacred College of Cardinals" the
archbishop said.
"Under Cardinal Rampalla, papal
secretary, the present pope received
exceptional training. By nature and
by training, he is an executive of un-
usual ability and his long experience
in diplomatic matters will stand him
in good stead in this crisis.
''To the Catholic celrgy the selec-
ton of Cardinal Della Chiesa was not
a surprise for with prospects of con-
test, he was the logical man. The
present pope, but 60 years old, is
young as a pontiff and his physical
activity will be a great asset under
the severe strain to which he will
surely be subjected as result of the
present relations between the Euro
pean powers.
"Pope Benedict XIV. will be able to
cope with any situation which may
arise"
Lay members of the Catholic church
here and women prominent in Catholic
organizations expressed great pleas
ure over the selection. The general
opinion is that because of his expert
ence under Cardinal Rampolla and
Cardinal Merry del Val and his age,
the selection was fortunate.
"a strong man, physically as well
as mentally, is needed at the head of
the church in this critical situation and
there is no doubt that Cardinal Della
Chiesta is such man." said C. H. F.
Smith, who, though not acquainted
with the present pope, has been close
ly in touch with the pontiicate and
knew the late Plus x well.
ssThe present pope is Of undoubted
piety and may be expected to follow
in the footsteps of the late pope.
There is no question that his executive
ability is Of the highest order"
A similar expression Of approval Of
the selection was made by Mrs. M. j.
O'Toole, president of the Catholic Wo-
mans Guild.

WILFUL MISREPRESENTATION.

mayor McGibbon of Sank Centre
is entetled to the BOBBY prize for his
public speeches. Here is the package
he handed his fellow citizens and the
balance of the county in a speech at
st. Cloud, last Friday: You have
here, said Mayor McGibbon, the big
gest and greatest men have ever
had the pleasure of meeting. They
have overlooked the inconsi tencies on
the part of our people and have ex-
tended hand of welcome to us at
every possible opportunity. Regard
less of our actions in the recent coun-
ty seat affair the men from the Gran
tie city have come to us in a most
brotherly spirit and I can assure you
that in the future ST. Cloud people
will have the cooperation at all times
of the people of Sank Centre.
"Who authorized him to beg the
pardon of st. Cloud for opposing the
county seat gang on the county seat
question? A few speeches like that
will leave the county fair to st. Cloud
ana Sduk SGIlLTc Oluy. SooA OSiAeA =
should be thankful to that vast ma
iority of the people of the county who
favor county seat removal for making
the county fair a success. The fair
boosters had best leave the Sank Cen
tire mayor at home in the future. =
Holdingford ADVERTISE.
The above yarn would be all right
save for the fact that Mayor McGib-
bon did not make a speech at st.
Cloud, the only public utterance ne
made on the trip was at Albany. In
his narrow hatred for st. Cloud Bro
Nelson is willing to impugn the mo-
tive of every man who says kind
word about the live wire business men
of the Granite City. Mayor McGibbon
is big enough and broad enough to
recognize men of worth regardless
of where they may come from. The
Herald is not apologizing for Mayor
McGibbon as he is able to stand on his
merits and is too well known to be
injured by the peruile misrepresenta-
lions of men Of the stripe and calibre
of the Holdingford editor.
