The Citizen felt that rather than single out any one member of the city force for criticism—it would be better to treat the subject generaily and trust that the authorities would act in the matter. We still hold with that idea. The time comes now, however, when The (:tizer feels inclined to offer words of commendation to the city police for their prompt action—started that same night—in apprehending a thief and one person believed guilty of receiving stolen goods, When words of praise are due—The itizen will, invariably, put them in print. Or the other han4, if criticism is due— those words will also appear in print. In this instanc +, however, it appears that the criticizing words, aimed pri- at one person, brought forth com- mendatory action on the part of others. All the more credit, then, is due the ar- resting officers for their good work—per- fermed, as it were, for the honor of the force. The arrest of the “fence”, it would appear, was a particularly good piece of work. County authorities are sponsors of the opinion that the apprehension of such a person would go far towards erasing thievery in the city. If there are others in the same category, it would be well for | them to cease operations right now. Citi- | zens locally are aroused on that subject, | and the police will be hot on their trail. Keep up the good work, policemen! The Citizen will continue to praise your | work. It hopes to have more and more oc- casions to, do so. LIFE ON VENUS Well, we see by the newspapers that the astronomers are still wondering whe- | ther life exists on other planets and that Spencer Jones, astronomer royal of Great Britain, believes that life may be just start- | ing on the planet Venus. | Studies of the atmosphere around the planei- .ead to the conclusion which ‘3 not upon imagination. Upon Mars. says conditions represen. what th« earth will be in its cld age and if life | exists, it is of a low order. While there may be much doubt about the existence of life on the various planets | in the exact counterpart of human beings, we see no reason why .nyone should deny the possibility of so ne form of life on the various celestial bodies. The planets are not the only places where forms of life may exist. When we consider that the estimated number of stars exceed 1,500,000, with | iar--er telescopes revealing new ones every year, and visualize the possibility that bodies, akin to planets, may revolve around these suns of the far distant spaces, there is little reason to support the belief that no life exis anywhere except on_ this sphere. The form of life that exists in the outer universe may be greatly different from that which is found on our globe but it requires tremendous conceit to imagine that, of all creation, only man lives. base th: professor ABOUT SUCCESS There seems to be spreading through- out the land an idea that men and women achieve success through the operation of sovernment rather than by patient per- ence in honest endeavor. This mistaken is facilitated by the fact that some government legislation has created private fortunes and probably also by the experi- ences of the past few years, during which many Americans haye looked to their gov- ernment for the necessities of life. The readers of The Citizen, especially young men and women, should not be mis- led in this respect. They should realize | that worthwhile success is achieved almost exclusively through personal endeavor. After all is said and done, the vast majority of business successes owe their growth to one or more rare individuals who give to the enterprise a contribution that includes pot only physical effort but superior in- telligence and the wisdom that arises from the intangible thing that we call char- lt acter, view THE KEY WEST CITIZEN First air express shipment in history of transportation consisting of five bolts of silk weighing 50 pounds was flown 65 miles in 71 minutes from Dayton to Columbus, Ohio, in November 1910, lashed to frame of Wright plane.
