The Post Downfall and a Curious Union Depot Meeting
A narrator recalls meeting John Burbank at Kansas City Union Depot, describing his shabby state and claim that the Post newspaper declined under Hodges. Burbank details a chaotic office upheaval, mismanagement, and a fraudulent era of advertising pressure, mutinous staff, and libel-prone local notices ending in ruin and Hodges' death in a madhouse. The tale concludes with the Post still running, while Burbank himself suffers drink-related disgrace.
