APERTINRNT WORD IN SLANG.

tn tbe Editor M th< Ne,ps
sIR-Kindiy let me know the meaning of the
word "kiSosh." l heard 1t used by New York
sist,oparv % IA AREAprR.
Gentle and esteemed reader the
NEWS will endavor to enlighten you.
It is not probable that the word is TO be
found in either Webster's, Worcester's
or the new Centurp Dictionary. being a
slang expression that has not yet been
incorporated into the English language.
II is believed to have originated in one
of the Western Legislative bodies where
some of the measures introduced were
of an unsavory nature. One of these,
commonly known as a strike bill, was to
compel a certain railroad corporation to
reduce its fare from four to three cents
per mile. The bill was defeated. When
going home at the end of the week one
Of the legislators who had voted to kill
it was called to task for his action by
one of his unsophisticated constituents.
The law maker did not argue the ques-
ton. He simply slapped his vest
pocket which was bulged out with a
wad containing more money than his
weeks salary and said; "Oh we gave
that ere bill its kibosh." The story was
repeated, and getting to the ears of some
of the shrewder men in his district the
legislator was CONSIDERABLY permitted
to stay and do chores about his farm the
following winter.
But the word has been permitted a
broader definition since then. If the
New York drummer used it in connec-
ton with one of his customers he proba-
bly meant that he had got the best of
the customer in driving bargain. In

VOTE FOR MAYOR SMITH.

Mr.. Henry G. Clark lays down pro-
position on which all good Republicans
and good Independents will at once see
the necessity for voting for Mayor Smith.
He says:
"If those gentlemen who kindly
honored me with their votes can make a
better government by voting for another.
one who will not knowingly allow his
friends to take money from the city
treasury in violation Of law, it is their
privilege TO so vote"
OF course it is. The people of Provi-
dence ought TO have no hesitation in re-
electing Mayor Smith. He is such a
man as Mr.. Clark now says he is willing
his few followers should support and he
plainly indicates that he means to get
out of the way.

to our own citisens opportunity to make
advantageous Investments at home and
serving our people with accommodations
which they desire, or to place it again at
the mercy of a pirstica, combination.
If the Council is satisfied with the
present arrangement it will do nothing
towards adopting the provisions Of the
franchise act. II it wishes to modify it
so as to make these contracts for "a
shorter time than the limit fixed by the
law it will do SO, but with this the
mayor has nothing whatever to do, AS
he can originate no legislation. Il
is the opinion of the News
that benefit might accrue to the
city. both in revenue and in service,
if contracts should be made for such
reasonable time as would encourage the
companies to keep up their excellent
quality of service and TO afford the city
opportunity to avail itself of any i'm
provements that may be made in the
manner of rendering it. But this is a
matter for the Council to decide; they
have been chosen with this in view and
being qualified to pass, thereon may
be safely left to their judgment.

some majorities both branches Of the City
Council. In order to complete the victory
elect your mayor and your senator, Hon.

REPUBLICANS as well as all other citi-
zens should see TO it that the
heelers who are running the So
called Democratic campaign are pre-
vented from getting their hands into the
city treasury. The election of the Re-
publican Mayor will put stop to it but
votes are necessary and stay-at-home
voters are not counted-except for the
opposition.

always good criterion of his char

tion on the labor question.

A LEADER OF THE ADVANCE CLUB.
Nor long ago the News had occasion
to note that the Advance Club, composed
as it is Of representative citizens, not only
could not afford TO but would not allow
itself to be used as the tool of political
demagogues who cared for the advance
ment of the oity's interests only so long
as their own personal ends were sub
served.
The NEWS is now pleased to congratu-
late the club that one of its most in
fluentisl members Mr.. John McAuslan
has come out in favor of progressive
government and the reelection of Mayor
Smith. To understand the full
force Of this act it must be
remembered that Mr.. McAuslan has been
consistent and conscientious opponent
of the franchise act and the principle in
volved in it. Mayor Smith is to some
extent the one upon whom the terms of
contracts to be made under that act
depend, and In advocating his candidacy
Mr.. McAuslan publicly announces his
confidence in the ability and integrity
of that gentleman to care for the city's
interest in this important matter.
That means much for Mayor Smith,
but it also means much for the Advance
Club, as 1t shows that the trend of
thought among the best Of its members
is toward policy of approval Of the
progressive methods which have
characterized Mayor Smiths term Of
office

Makes an Assignment
The Masonic Savings Bank Of Louisville has
assigned to the Germanic Safety Vault and Trust
Company. The capital is $3.50, 600.
The bank was one Of the first 10 require the
aid OF the clearing house when the stringency
came last year. 1t carried heavy savings de-
posits, and as soon as a rumor that it was
embarrassed got abroad depositors began TO
draw out. In January, however, the statement
showed about a million and quarter deposits,
but 1t was generally known that the president
OF the bank. Jacob Kreiger. ST.. was backing
the bridge under construction between Louis
willie and Jeffersouville, Ind, and work on that
had been suspended Depositors continued to
draw out their funds, but by stout effort
President hrieger succeeded in restoring con-
fidence. and all was thought safe.
In March came the Schwartz Bank failure
and this SGT depositors in other savings institu-
tons IN motion and the Masonic deposits began
to diminish- Once more the tide appeared to
be stemmed, and on july 10 the directors were
hopeful that the crisis was finally passed Then
came the Falls City failure and depoltors were
again alarmed
The directors took advantage OF the rule re-
quiring savings depositors TO give thirty days
notice. and during the interval they have made
desperate efforts to right the concern and be
ready to pay out deposits when called for.
Saturday it was found that the bank owed the
