George H. Edwards in his speeches
is pointing out the different attempts
of Mayor Jost to deceive the people.
The Shannon tool has taken issue
with the Republican plan to resubmit
the Union station bonds to the peo-
pie for their definite opinion.
Mayor Jost seems to be afraid to
trust the people to say what they
think about this section of the bond
proposal.
Mr.. Edwards quotes from Jost, who
charges the Republican platform was
written in bad faith and that its au-
,hors, lawyers, knew that the bonds
,ould not be resubmitted under the
law"
A copy of an official message the
mayor sent the council Sept. 27, 1915,
has been produced by Mr.. Edwards.
The concluding paragraph of the docu-
ment said:
THE citizens committee and my
self propose to the council that if it
is unable to agree with these recon-
mendations, the questions of differ
GuC6 lllC OhiOI oNoNAcA AOsAN
way and Sixth street traffic way prob
lens be appropriately resubmitted to
the people at the next general election
in order to ascertain what their wishes
and orders in the premises may be.
I'm regard to this matter of bad
faith" Mr. Edwards said: 81 want
to know whether Mayor Jost is talk
ing in bad faith now, or whether he
was talking in bad faith when he sent
this communication to the council
Is the mayor like the chameleon
changing his color to meet the occa
sion?
The mayor will find that the peo
pie are not so easily deceived The
only reason Jost has flopped on this
question of resubmission is because
Joe Shannon has given orders for the
change"

PROF. R. w. FOSTER DEAD.

An uninterrupted career of forty
years as a teacher in the schools of
Kansas City was ended Saturday night
by the death of R. w Foster, princi-
pal of the Wendell Phillips school, He
lived at 1915 Paseo. Mr.. Foster, who
was one of the first Negro educators
in this section, came here from Co
lumbia, Tenn, in 1875, and taught
eight years in the Westport schools.
He then became an instructor in the
Lincoln High school, and in 1886 be
came principal of the Douglass school
He held that position twenty-six years,
and in 1912 was made principal of
Wendell Phillips school.
In all the forty years he did not
miss a day from his duties until the
illness of week ago that resulted in
his death. He was IS years old and
is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elvira
Foster, two sons, Dallas Foster Au-
tomobile instructor in Lincoln high
school and Chester Foster, manager
of Fosters Pharmacy; and three
daughters, Mrs Daisy Drew. Mrs. Ida
Commodore and Mrs. Birdie Harrison
of st. Louis.
Prof, Foster was a charter member
of Graham lodge No. So, A. F. and A.
NJ. and John Lange lodge No 66, X.
of p, past royal grand patron of the
Eastern Star, knight Templar, treas.
urer of the Masonic Building associa-
ton, and treasurer of Allen Chapel.
That he was held in high esteem
was evidenced by the fact that the
largest crowd in attendance at a fun,
eral since the death of Bishop Grant
crowded in and around Allen Chapel
Wednesday morning where the body
lay in state from to 10 o'clock. The
floral offerings were the most beau
tiful and profuse without exception
ever seen in Kansas City, and the
funeral services were of the highest
order. Among the distinguished out
of-town Masons who came to attend
the funeral were: Past Grand Mas

REASONS

The Shannon administration took
over 100000 from the board TO public
works. The work on the streets was
checked, leaving the streets in the
worst possible condition. The men
who needed the work were thrown out
of jobs. The Negroes who do much
of this work were the heaviest suffer
ers. And all because the Shannon rab-
bits wanted the money put where they
could get it.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-03-25

In four years the people have been
bled by Jost to the tune of S11 100000.
More than was ever taken from them
in the same length of time in the
city's history. Was that vast sum put
into permanent improvements p Was
it put into construction work? Into
street repair2 Or, into anything to
profit the working man? Jost him
self admits that it has notl Why then
search farther for the cause of unem-
ployment? For poverty, for sickness
or in many cases for the causes of
actual starvation? The finger points
to the representative of the public
service corporations the ruler of Kan
sas City-Joseph b. Shannon!
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-03-25

Jost robbed the poor mamie raised
the minimum tax valuation from $50
to $40. 1t was a crime against the
laboring man, against the poor widow,
against the servant girl, against the
old and feeble, against those who
were least able to stand it. 1t was
typical of the rabbit to jump the weak
who couldn't fight back. But they
win fight back and the day of the big
fight is April 4.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-03-25

The Republican party submits a
plan which we believe will, to large
extent, correct these troubles. This
plan can be adopted without any state
legislation or any modification of the
constitution.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-03-25

It has seemed fair to us to let the
people decide the question of whether
they want to spend more than the
100000 bonds on the Union station
improvements, or limit the .expendi-
lures to that amount.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-03-25

The spectacle we have seen at the
city hall for the last four years is
convincing proof that there is some
