The fool-killer might be eminently
useful in some Georgia cities and
towns by eliminating some of the
detectives" who imagine that in
third degree" methods they can win
fame (and lucre) for themselves by
unearthing crime or an incident
Such methods have made fool out
of more than one officer who might
otherwise have achieved some real
usefulness. The truth is, third de-
gree methods are entirely outside the
law, and ought not to be tolerated
in any community where the intlu-
ence of decent people is dominant.

While the government war tax does
not apply to marriage licenses young
bridegrooms need not congratulate
themselves on escaping entirely their
share of the cost of war. The gov
eminent has ruled that the certifi-
Gates provided by ordinaries or min
listers declaring that John and Mary
were lawfully bound in holy we'd
lock shall bear a ten-cent stamp. So,
while it costs no. tax to be married,
it costs dime to prove it afterward.
