Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 179, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 July 1920 — A Boulevard Deputy Sheriff. [ARTICLE]

A Boulevard Deputy Sheriff.

The other day we dropped into our favorite garage for a few minor repairs, which the bus needed. The proprietor was even a little prouder than usual, we thought “What’s happened to the boss,” said we to Fat. “Haven’t you heard?” he asked. “No. What is it?’ “He’s a deputy sheriff now. Hey, boss, come on over here an’ show your badge.” A garage proprietor and a deputy sheriff all at once! If anybody can beat that for arrogance and pomp and lordly authority and a supreme sense of superiority outside of Prussia, we’d like to hear about it
