and public spirit sufficient to make first

The men who really built Kansas City
were Kansas men, men both liberal and
public spirited, but they have tired of carry

Tapped up all its sweetness. The only
sweetness left is in the barrel-kansas-the
bunghole is exhausted and they know it.
Kansas City has reached a point where
something more than brag and bluster is
