LOYALTY SHOULD BE DEMANDED
S heriff F ra n k T aylor has long been the victim
of his deputies. B ecause he is good natu red and
has placed a g rea t deal of confidence in m em bers
of his force he has been tak e n a d v an tag e of. Our
advice to him fo r th e rest of his term and o th er
sheriffs who m ay follow is to be “h ard boiled" in
handling the force. S trict discipline and a tte n tio n
to orders of th e chief is needed in law enforce­
m ent work.
No m a tte r how m uch ability a deputy m ay
have he has no business w ith a s ta r if he will
not obey orders and act harm oniously w ith the
rest of th e force. A sheriff who insists on th e
stricte st discipline will save him self a lot of grief
from irresponsible deputies.

THE SPRING
I do not know th a t I ever heard of any h e a th ­
en people w orshipping a spring. W hy, I do not
know . I have read of nym phs and such things
h a u n tin g springs, but I do not recall any case
w here a spring w as worshipped.
J u s t w hy I c a n n o t tell. It seem s to ni° that
if I w ere a h e a th e n m an h u n tin g for som ething
to w orship, I should consider a spring very fav­
orable as a good candidate.
T o be sure, th e re is th e sun, which is th«
source of all pow er, and th e m ountain which
sta n d s for g rea t stre n g th , and o th e r objects of
n a tu re th a t a re ap p aren tly sym bols of the divine,
to say n o th in g of an egg. which perhqps is the
m ost w onderful of all n a tu re , as it co n tain s tne
se cre t of grow th.
B ut th e spring is so m anifestly o th e r worldly.
It ju st com es out of the ground w here it has no
business and everything about it com es to life.
You see a spring on th e hillside crush forth
from a fissure in th e rock. W eeds and lilies grow
in th e rivulet th a t Is form ed, and even trees
sp rin g up ab o u t it. Men and anim als com e to r e ­
fresh them selves of its w aters, it is so m anifestly
a source of life.
Som e folks are like springs. W hen they e n te r
th e circle everybody picks up. T hey are life
bringers, conversation m ak e rs and th o u g h t p ro ­
ducers. T hey stim u late all ou r nerve ganelie«.
W hy, I do n ot know. T hey m av not .be p a rticu ­
larly p retty or shanely or intellectual. T hey just
have so m ething a b o u t them th a t se ts people
going.
,
Most of ns a re dead ones Iving aro u n d like
old slabs of dead e arth . One of these spring peo­
ple com es along and g rass and flow ers im m edi­
a te ly appear, and th e desert bloom s like a rose.
W hat is it?
,
I suppose these people are imbued with a s u r­
plus of life.
W hat we all w a n t is life. It m av ta k e a th o u s­
and form s and w ays of expression, but, su b ­
stantially, it is all th e sam e.
“Gnaw m y w ithers, rack mv bones,
Life, m ere life, for all a to n e s.”
