We'd hate to go back home without having met your president, or whatever you call your chief executive." The two Venusians exchanged smiles, and to the surprise of the explorers the woman gave the reply, in language as good as Estra's, but an even sweeter expression: "There is no such thing as a chief executive on Venus, friends."
And within a very short time the whole world was governed by the working class!" So this was what the Venusians had meant when they wrote that Sanus was ruled by the workers! "What became of these rebellions?" Rolla asked, little understanding what it meant, but curious anyhow. "Devastation!" stated Somat solemnly. He waved a hand, to include all that lay within the ruined city.
The new picture was more leisurely. "The planet Alma. Can any one explain why it is of special interest to us?" For a moment there was no comment, and the doctor found himself studying a "panorama" of some exceedingly striking people. There was quite a crowd; and the doctor was amazed to note how much like the Venusians they were.
And it only added to the geologist's irritation to have these striking statements made in a good-humored, impersonal fashion which totally disarmed all opposition. That the Venusians were perfectly sure of their ground, was undeniable; but they had such a cheerful way of looking at it, as though they didn't care a rap whether Van Emmon agreed or not, that If they'd only have shown some spirit!
"At any rate, the Venusians say that this particular planet of Capella's has people almost exactly the same as those of the earth, except" speaking very clearly "except that they have had about one century more civilization!" Billie exclaimed with delight. "Say this is going to be the best yet! To think of seeing what the earth is going to be like, a hundred years from now!"
With us, it resulted in having teeth reduced to the standing of your appendix; and, like you, we resort to an operation rather than take chances on trouble. I may mention that the appendix is totally absent from all Venusians, while we are beginning to lose all traces of either the first or second molars; just as you are beginning to lose your wisdom teeth.
Van Emmon!" "I am!" hotly. Then, with the memory of what he had just seen rushing back upon him: "I mean, I was until I saw saw that " He stopped, flushing deeply; and before he could collect himself Smith had broken in again: "I just happened to remember, doc; didn't you say that the Venusians, in those books of yours, say that Sanus is ruled by the workers?"
"Just what I was wondering about," from Van Emmon. "The humans seem to do all the work, and the bees the bossing!" The doctor expected this. "The Venusians had our view-point the view- point of people on the earth, when they said that the workers rule. We consider the bee as a great worker, don't we? 'As busy as a bee' you know. None of the so-called lower animals show greater industry."
Van Emmon!" "I am!" hotly.

A man stepped out of the door, and raising his hand in a form of salute, called out a few words in the Venusian tongue. Astro recognized it as a greeting, "Long live Venusians!" and suppressed a smile. One by one, the men of the patrol handed over their rifles and ray guns, while the man in the armory checked off their names.
