Merry Del Val, to whom the new
Pope was so long assistant, in the
election. 1t is the consensus of opin-
ion here that the Vatican is more apt
to return to the policy of Leo XIII
than to continue the method of Plus
X. Others predict what they term
9 "happy medium between diplomacy
as motto and piety as a MOTTO
If fate deals as kindly as usual
with Benedict XIV he will occupy the
throne for many years. He will be
60 years old on November 21 of this
year. Plus X was 6S years at his
election and his pontificate lasted
eleven years. Leo XIII was the same
age and he reigned twenty-five years.
Gregory XIV, who preceded Plus TX.
was 65 years of age when elected and
he reigned sixteen years. The youngest
man to be chosen Pontiff in the last
three-quarters of century was Plus
TX. He was 54 and his pontificate
covered thirty-two years.
1t is believed the Pope's age had
much to do with his election. 1t was
deemed wise to have a Pontiff not
weighed down with years or infirm-
ity.
Pope Benedict XIV is the 160th oc-
cupant of the chair of st. Peter. OF
flfty-seven Popes since 1878 all save
four have been Italians.
1t is curious that the present Pope,
selected after much balloting, is ele-
waited in much the same compromise
manner as Pope Benedict XIV, whose
name the present Pope assumes. The
former was Archbishop of Bologna,
