Treasurer D. F. McNeil of Norwich council. No. T20. submits the following extract from the Royal Arcanum Bull letin as an answer to a recent state ment which appeared regarding the condition of the Royal Arcanum:
 In the accounting of the order noth- Ing has been entered as cash unless it Ras actual money. Therefore the amount charged under the so called half cash option has never appeared in the cash account, although il is an as se1 and was so considered in the va1u- ation of the order recently made.
 OftentiKnes the prosperous store keeper finds it desirable to increase ais line sf credit at certain times of he year when his. customers are using m unusual amount of goods. The fact zhat- he is giving credit enables him to secure good trade which he would 1therwiEe- lose. but it may also lessen he amount of actual cash he takes in. The investigator who undertook to pass upon his business condition by simply counting the contents of the money drawer, without paying any at tention to the goods charged on the books. would prove himself a fool. but he would also probably secure figures which would convince anyone who was ignorant of the facts of the case that

Your Brothers keeper.

In Germany, France and most Euro pean countries the systems of rural banking and other expedients f. I help ing the poorer people have not, as a rule, been the creatures of the state. They have not. been seE on foot by leg isIat9rs, however after the beginning of their development legislators may have come to their assistance. The Raffelsen banking system, for example, was ttaa device of an earnest and good man, a planter, who perceived the handicaps under which his less fortu- nate farmer neighbors were struggling, and worked out the plan for their ben efit-and the essence of the plan is that the well to do farmers furnish the capital for the banks that lend money at per cent, although they could, if they wished, buy stock in con- cerns that pay per cent.
 The safety and perpetuity of our civ ilization rests on the recognition of the truth that every man is in some sense his brothers keeper-that it is a duty and one that in the long run is prompt ed by self interest, too, of men in good circumstances, the rich the throfty and the educated. not to forget the exist ence of the men about them who are poor. who are ignorant or are merely unfortunate. If our stare and our cour1- try are to survive and prosper. the prosperity must be shared by all sorts and conditions Of men-Columbia (S. CD State.

ine presence or big floating ap. paratus, with pile driver. boiler. en- zine, etc., with powerful pumps, and special machinery for boring the river bed far, far below, and ascertaining the nature of the same for pier foun- dationS, just north of the present rail- road bridge, indicates that the preIim- mary work of building the new rail- road bridge has been commenced, and t will not be many m 1ons before there will be more working activity in con- nection with the constructive work of the bridge. According to the statement of those who are in position to know the new bridge will not only be built as expeditiouSly as possible but it will be in actual operation within two years or before the session of the general assembly of 1915 adjourns, and that perhaps the legislators will be invited to participate in the formal opening of the. new bridge to traffic.
 The offer of the railroad company to present the present bridge to the, state for highway purposes has been accepted and commission has been appointed to report upon the estimated cost of converting the bridge from railroad to public traffic use. At the time the leg islature voted to accept the bridge it was represented that the state could acquire possession of the bridge, change the style of draw and put it into con dition for public use at an expense not in excess of $250,000. 1t is still believ- ed the work can be accomplished for that sum and that there will be no un- necessary delay in the transfer and conversion.

It is a reasonable bet that the bridge, the new one, will be completed before ocean steamers are landing at the state pier, for which the state gener- ously appropriated S1,000, 900, through the almost superhuman efforts of the then senator and now Mayor and Con- gressman Mahan. That appropriation was made at the 1911 session of the general assembly, and an attempt to recall the appropriation was defeated at the 1913 session, but up to date there is no visible evidence that there is anything doing in the pier building line True, plans are said to be com pleted from the engineering stand point drawn by the resident engineer and approved by the consulting engi- neer and the commissioners, that sat isfactory arrangements have been made in regard to the possession or land for the approach, and all the nec- essary preliminaries, but to the un1nt- tiated there is nothing tangible to in dfcate that there is 10 be real active building work at the present time. The appropriation having been made there is demand from many sections of the state for the commencement or the state work, as the proposed ter minal for steamships at New London is of state wide as well as of lGoaA interest 1t can be put dGWn in blue and red that if the work Is not well underway before the next session Of the legislature conVenes that appro- priation will be repealed just as sure as the tide rises and falls at the pro- posed site, which is just seuth of the present railroad bridge.
