KEEP 1T UP!

There were sU.ne Officials of the city
who sev" rely criticized this column ,or its
editorial last Tuesday treating o. the
thie' ."y epidemic prevalent at that time.
Il 'udcd il the warning to citizens was
the statement that "city police were rot
fun"tioning properly in the apprehension
of 70 Jbers'
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 generally and trust that
the authorities would act in the matter
We still hold with that idea.
The time comes now, however, when
The itizeE feels inclined to offer words
of cOmmendatiOn to the city police for
their prompt action-started that same
nlght-in apprehending 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 hand, if criticism is due
those words will also appear in print.
In this instane ?, however, it appears
that the criticizing words, aimed pri-
mariIy at one person, brought forth COM
mandatory action on the part of others.
All the more credit, then, is due the ar
resting officers for their good work-per-
formed, 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
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. 1t 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
planets lead to the conclusion which s not
base upon imagination. Upon Mars. says
tn professor, conditions represen- what
tie earth will be in its cid age and if life
EXISTS, it IS of 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 gnyone 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 100000, with
lar 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 exists 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.

ABOUT SUCCESS

There seems to be spreading through
out the lard an idea that men and women
achieve success through the operation of
government rather than by patient per-
sistence in honest endeayOr. This mistaken
view is facilitated by the fact that some
government legislation has created private
fortunes and probably also by the expert
enceS of the past few years, during which
many Americans have 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 contribution that includes
pot only physical effort but superior in
telligence and the wisdom that arises from
the intangible thing that We call char
acter.
