John Steinbeck Quotes

The Sheriff's Job Was Not An Easy One, And That County Which, Out Of The Grab Bag Of Popular Elections, Pulled A Good Sheriff Was Lucky. It Was A Complicated Position. The Obvious Duties Of The Sheriff - Enforcing The Law And Keeping The Peace - Were Far From The Most Important Ones. It Was True That The Sheriff Represented Armed Force In The County, But In A Community Seething With Individuals A Harsh Or Stupid Sheriff Did Not Last Long. There Were Water Rights, Boundary Disputes, Astray Arguments, Domestic Relations, Paternity Matters - All To Be Settled Without Force Of Arms. Only When Everything Else Failed Did A Good Sheriff Make An Arrest. The Best Sheriff Was Not The Best Fighter But The Best Diplomat.
