Kate Claxton in The Two Orphans Recalled by Fire Near Death
A reader recalls Kate Claxton’s early stage fame in The Two Orphans in St Louis and her survival of several hotel and theater fires, where she crawled through smoke and slid down stairs to escape, earning a reputation as a salamander-act. The column then critiques county financial matters and praises Wisconsin and Minnesota moves toward primary elections, arguing for reform of caucus and convention systems and support for Australian-ballot primary laws.

Trust laws hailed by administration as entering wedge
An Associated Press summary from February 16 reports Attorney General Knox praising the new anti trust measures. He says the legislation is satisfactory, comprehensive in scope, and enforceable against corporations and individuals. The act strengthens the Commerce Department, limits railroad rebates, expedites hearings, and allows appeals to the Supreme Court from first instance. The administration sees the laws as a rational, effective response to industrial monopoly concerns.
