It Seems That Way There was evidence that the members of the Theater Managers’ Association had taken concerted action in the matter. They had agreed to exclude Metcalfe from their houses, and the question arises her they had not thereby entered into such a conspiracy as the law forbids. Itis an acknowledged legal principle that because anindividual may do a certain thing by himself it does not follow that he can rightfully do the same thing in concert with others. ‘There may be an illegal conspiracy to do an act not in itself illegal and it looks like a fairly debatable question whether the agreement of the theater managers to exclude | Metcalfe from their houses does not come within that category.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Western Americanism _ Of course, the theater may exercise, must exercise, ight to bar out persons who offend the others in the audience by any unscemly behavior.

The only percolator that absolutely does this is the “UNIVERSAL” Coffee Percolator In less than one minute after heat is applied, lukewarm water is percolating through the coffee, gradually increasing in tem- perature.
