tant see Of Mantua became vacant. In

to fill the place. II was no easy task
to which he had been called. for his
predecessor had allowed discipline to
become slack. His persuasive powers
and administrative gifts were tested
to the utmost. but he was fully equal
to the ungrateful task.

That diplomacy found no place in
Plus mind is evidenced by many of
his acts. His action toward the French
government was perfect in indifYer-

trouble and the pope was out of It.

by the dialect equivalent OF Giuseppe,
"Beppo."
From an early age Giuseppe bred
to sturdy outdoor life, displayed a

right thing, according to the American
idea. He ignored the nation.
Before Pope Plus had been on the
throne three years he showed that
young men who dreamed of the career
of courtier in Rome were going to
be disappointed. The pope wanted
bishops for the difficult sees, and the
way for young diplomats to promotion,
it was soon apparent, was through the
tiresome but wholesome Office of gov.
erning bishop.
One great reform Pope Plus accom-
plished. and 1t promises to be ever re-
membered in history. He proved that
diplomacy In church matters is
thing of little Importance compared
with the direct teaching and preach
ing of the gospel to the poor.
Some Notable Reforms
His now famous Apostolic constitu-
ton was considered as embodying the
most sweeping reform ever attempted
by Roman pontiff since the celebrat-
ed Council Of Trent. in the years from
1545 to 1868. In that 1t dismissed the
entire congregation Of the council, a
committe of cardinals charged with
the Interpretation Of the Council of
Trent. and placed all affairs in the
hands of separate tribunals and courts
OF appeal
Pope Plug was In every respect a
man OF peace, and the clerical trou-
bles in Spain and Portugal during the
latter years of his life greatly Affect
ed his health. When Spain and Por.
tugai, following the lead Of France,
broke away from the church, he re-
fused to take any decisive action
against them
This policy OF peace earned for
Pope Plus X. the love of the church's
devotees the world over and will
mako his memory one that posterity
will honor as that Of great prelate In
the history Of Catholicism.

Denver.-The Colorado & Southern
railroad is ordered to maintain
through train service between Denver
and Leadville, instead of abandoning
that part of its line between Como and
Breckenridge, by mandate issued by
the United States Supreme Court.
Notification was received by the State
Supreme Court that the railroad had
submitted to the demands of the
Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce
and the State Railroad Commission
and had withdrawn It's application for
a supersedeas before it was consid-
cred by the highest court of the land.
The State Railroad Commission re-
fused to request of the railroad in 1912
to operate between Denver and Como
and from Leadyille to Breckenridge.
That would leave a twenty-five mile
stretch between Como and Brecken-
ridge unused. The District Court
ruling sustained the commission and

tinuance of both passenger and freight
service is imperative under the ruling
