ROME. July 21. That political strife
i among the cardinals of the Sacred Col
lege no longer exists seems a well-es-tabllshed
fact This evening the Dally
Tribune published an authentic Inter
view with Cardinal Svampa in which
ihe latter says: "Previous political en
mities among the cardinals no longer
exists, and they are, therefore, in per
f eot accord... The selection of the Pope
will be easily obtained."
.Following this expression Cardinal
' Svampa made, the statement, 'which Is
startling In Its purport. He said: "Tha

the qualities of head and heart to make
him humanly lovable- as well as revered
through the dignity of his office, the
world knows best through his poems.
The Pope wrote Latin verse since he
was 12 years old. No biographies, how
ever exhaustive, give, or could give, so
clear an insight into the inner heart of
the great Pontiff as these fine outpour
ings of bis spirit
His poems take many forms. There
are among them stately odes, religious
outpourings, charades, Inscriptions,
sparkling Jeux d'esprit, heroic hymns,
familiar epigrams about prominent ac
quaintances, and verses to his mother,
his brother and the friends of his boy
hood and later life.
The first literary production of the
schoolboy Vlterbo, In later years to be
come Pope, was d brief eulogy of Father ,
Vlncenzo Pavanl, provincial of the Jesu
its who was visiting the village. The au
thor, who was then Just 12 years old,
was baptised Joachim Vincent Raphael
Aloyslus.
The poem reads:
Thy very name, Pavanl, Venvent styled.
Was mine a little child.
'What mighty virtues thou didst well
pursue.
Would I might follow, too!"
The next poem was written about
eight years 'later in 1830. It Is en
titled' "On Hie Sickness," and is a re
markable commentary on the will power
of the man who lived more than the al
lotted three score years and ten after
the gloomy lines were penned:
A Youth of Twenty.

The following poem was written to
the author's sister, a nun of the Visita

The murder was cowardly and reck
