THE TIMKS has Increased Its mailing- tui pn-.ent and in striving earnestly to reach Its patrons on time. Be prompt in advising- us when you do not ki your paper and wev.-ll act promptly THE NEW POPE.. Pope Pius XI. who until his election was Cardinal llatU, is both scholar and diplomat, both recluse and inan of affairs. As a teacher, as librarian of the great library ot Milan, with its nearly a quarter million volumes, and as head of the library of the Vatican, he attained a high place in the world of letters and in the literature of his church. But it required the war, and especially the encroachment of the doctrines of boLshevlsm in Polaud and Upper Silesia, to bring out the st?.tsmanship that the late pope, who assigned to Uira the difficult task of church reorganization in those war stricken districts, felt he possessed. From the sheltered recesses of the library in the Vatican to the famine plagued, war shattered towns

and countrysides of Poland was a long step, indeed, i

and one which few men. could have made and maintained their equilibrium. But the priest who is now pope made it and from the ruins of the church organization he not only brought order out of chaos, but he reconciled the warring elements, Polish, German, Russian and French, and brought them together in a solid phalanx that stood and continues to stand as an unbreakable wall against which the tides of bolshevisni Lcat and break into harmless spray. If he is as successful in the war torn world at large as ho was in Poland, a vast field of useful endeavor lies before him.

WHY NOT DO IT NOW Mrhile the income tax blanks have now been distributed or rendered available to all persons who will have to make a return, it would bo interesting to know how many hare eveu begun filling them out, to say nothing of sending them in to the collector. Attending to this most necessary matter is a good deal like doing Christmas shopping. Long before the season arrives one easily resolves to do it i-early," but when the time ccmes the majority put off the inevitable to the last few days and then make a whirlwind finish, turning into a task what should be a pleasure. Making out one's income tax return can scarcely ever be classed among the popular Indoor pastimes, but if the duty is undertaken Id lime 0 as to render haste and worry unnecessary, it need not be so onerous as it is commonly regarded. ISlnce the tax is upon the income received last year, the figures are new all in one's possession. There is nothing to wait for. The blank can be filled out as well today as five week-- bence. If all persons wno have to make a return would do so before the end ot thi3 mf nth, they would not only save themselves trouble, but they would considerably lighten the burden of the cfficlal3 whose duty it i3 to receive and lecord the document. There is less excuse this year than any ether for misunderstanding the income tax requirements. The information called for on the blanks has been simplified, and many newspapers have been specially enlightening their readers on the subject. The income tax now reaches the great majority of wage earners, wno have thus come to take a more direct interest in governmental affairs because they affect their own. The last day for filing: returns is March IS, hut wise persons will attend to this duty long before that time.

FOR SWIFTES JUSTICE It is a matter of frequent comment amen? ti'.e public that there should be such extraordinary delay between the arrest of those charged with crime and their trial and conviction. The effact cf prolonged delay In bringing offenders to trial i3 to weaken the invuence of exemplary punishment The crime is remembered but the vindication of the law is eclipsed by the interval before eonvdrtion. Nothing is so calculated to deter the criminally inclined or to protect a community from a eign of terror by thugs and bandit3 as the demonstrated certainty that the police and officers are vigilant and that the arrest is followed Inevitably by swift and certain trial and the rigors cf the law. New Jersey justice ha3 become famous throughout the nation for the celerity of It3 disposition of criminal cases. If this standard were prevalent throughout the country we should hear less of crime waves and more of respect for the law.

EUSSIA OUTDONEFor 83 iong as newspapers have been printed. Russia has held the paim for wolf stories. Up until tho time the savage wolves of the frozen Russian plains took to the tall timbers for fear Leniue and Trotsky would get them, the journalists who made Petrogral their winter habitat uaed to send out graphic descriptions of wolf chases and hunts without which no season was complete. Most of them baaed on one well worn theme, the Russian nobleman driving with his bride through the lonesome woods at nightfall; the wolf, then another, and another, until the forest rang with the full cry of the hunting pack hard on the heels of the sleigh driven at breakneck speed by the terrorized bridegroom, who t'.om time to time turned to bring down a wolf with his trusty rifle. In the grim pauses while the wounded animal was being torn to bits by his fellows of the pack, the sleigh gained, but not for long, and finally the last bullet was spent, the pack was on the heels of the panting steeds; tnen came the heroic sacrifice tho bridegroom placed one burning kiss on tho lips of his bride, posed heoricly as for a incvie stunt and then did a brodie into the midst of the wolves who made a fine meal off him while the lightened sleigh sped on to safety. There were variations, but in the end the wolves just had to eat somebody or tho stcry wouldn't justify cable toll. But of late the Russian wolf has been absent from the news. There have been some who asserted that he has starved to death, others believe that he and Lenine are one and the same, still others that the Bolsheviks have induced him to join the army and a few who insist that there are no longer any Russian bridegrooms to be eaten. However, be that as it may, we have a new contender for wolf story honors in the person of the Minneapolis correspondent of a news service, which, used to specialize on the Russian variety. According to the story, a large and ravenous timber wolf, timber wolves are always that way, came to Minneapolis the other day and picked out one Arthur Lener as a dinner prospect. He made a dash for Arthur. Did Arthur run or did he pull his trusty automatic and with one well directed shot lay tho monster low? Not he. Arthur had never heard of the way they deal with wolves in Russia, when the wolves aren't dealing with the Russians. No, indeed; as tho wolf sprang Arthur sidestepped in a manner that would have made a democratic politician green with envy, and as the wolf passed over his shoulder Arthur grabbed the animal by hi3 hind legs and broke hi3 neck, against a conveniently near lamp post. Arthur confesses he was tempted to beat out the brains of the pesky beast, but in the nick of time he remembered that to collect a bounty on the kill he would have to present tho scalp to the county commissioners, so he eased up and gave it to the wolf where Mary wears her furs In Eumroer. Afterward he took the scalp around to the court house, collected the $7.50 and proceeded to spend it for whatever thuy spend $7.50 for in Minneapolis. We think we would like to bo a newspaper man in Minneapolis. All they have to do Ihere when the mercury gets low is to sit behind a red hot stovo tnd dope out new scenarios for old plots.

ANOTHER MISPLAY. French diplomacy has made another misplay In trying to drag tho league of nations into the Genoa conference. Poin care's idea, of course is that since he is standing out for the integral enforcement of tho Versailles treaty he should also stand up for the league that was interwoven in that document. He also, of course, has the nctton that by bringing in tue league Fiance may not 6tand bo much alone. But he entirely ignores the fact that two cf the nations invited to Genoa, upon whose representation the success of that conference most depends, America and Russia, have plainly eaid they -Rill have nothing to do with tha league. This sort of maneuvering recalls French diplomacy at Washington, where in succession, Briand, Vivian! and Admiral DeCon assumed attitudes that temporarily puzzled beholders until it was seen that these gestures were only feints toward something else. Tho result was to create such a suspicion of French diplomacy as to bring about that very "moral isolation" Briand pleaded against. The effect of the French attitude toward Genoa must be to increase rather than abate th!3 reeling. It is another misplay which must add to the distress of the real friends of France who wish her statesmen could cultivate the virtue of open speaking and frank dealing.

THE NEW DISPATCH which states that Turkish submarines, which are either French or Russian, are chasing Greek transports, is rather indefinite as to the identity of the pursuers.

A doughty old clubman sat in the bridge whist room of his club, waiting for some cronies. A process server stepped in and handed him a summons in a suit filed by a young sprito of the theater-for what tha headline boys call '"heart balm." He read it, tore it up and tossed the remains into the open fireplace. "Can't trust no one- any more," he sighed. "I'm even getting su3 2 'eious of my bootlegger." GETTING STATISTICS ON HER. Henry J. Knorr, an engineer, filed suit for divorce from Esther IL ftnc rr. The bill bristles with statistic? of Mrs. Knorr's altered marital misdemeanors. Here are a few of the derelictions as set forth by the busLand in his bill: Sixtv-flve nights away from home between January 1, 1920, and January 1. 1921. Twenty-eight nights in the same period she was out until 1 or 2 B. rn. One hundred and forty-nine times she forgot to get breakfast Eighty-four times she failed to prepare the evening meal. Twenty-five times she threatened to stab him or fill him full of lead. Furthermore, the husband alleges, the wife is an inveterate cigaret imoker, buying and smoking "dream sacks" by the hundreds. Knorr "says lie asked his wife for an explanation of her conduct and was told it was none cf his business, ONE YEAR. Iiver'd in the Springtime glad, Sing, birds, sing! .
