At all events, it seculs that it is a choice which should be welcomed generally, for we are told that the new Pope is known for his broad-mindedness and for his friendliness to the Quirinal. The nafortunately strained relations between the Vatican and the Quirina! have created many diplomatic difficulties, which all nations of Europe would be glad to se emoothed over. It is to be hoped that the general opinion will be realised, namely that His Holiness Pius X will be more of a spiritual than of a political persunage.
