NEW LINCOLN CENT
Designed by Native Russian Who Has
 Made Many Medals

From the New York Sun.
 Victor D. Brenncr, the sculptor whose design for the new Lincoln penny was accepted Thursday, has been at work upon his model for more than a year, and for many moths before that had in mind the idea of submitting this de- sign for the coin.
 MT. Brenner came to New York nine teen years ago. He was born in Rus sia in place called Shaveley. in 1871, and at the age of thirteen he began to work with his father, who was an engraver of seals and a stone cutter. Three years later he left home and took up his trade as an engraver of jewelry. and later as a sculptor in a number of Russian cities. There he remained until he was nineteen years old, perfecting himself in this work and then he came to this country.
 He studied here, first at the Cooper Union and then in the school of the National Academy of Design, and later in the Art Students League. He fol- lowed his profession in the day time and studied at night. In 1898 he went to Paris, and after being the pupil of Roty for time he pursued his work in the Julian Academy under Peuch. Yer let and Dubois for two years. After a years travel on the continent he re- turned to New York and opened his own studio. For the next three years he met with considerable success in producing medals, plaques, reliefs, and busts.
 Last summer MT. Roosevelt sat fer Mir. Brenner at Oyster Bay for the Panama Canal medal, which is given to every employe who has served for two years. On the face is portrait of the president and on the reverse side $ perspective of the Culebra cut. He also designed the medals for the Inter- national Tuberculosis congress in Wash ington. Of these 7,5o0 were struck and given to the delegates.
 The only other coin designing which Mr. Brenner has done was set of three--the dollar, half dollar, twenty i've cent piece-accepted by the govern ment of Santo Domingo in 1897.
 On the new coins bas relief head of Lincoln in profile takes the place of tho Indian head on the former design. To the left is the word Liberty and slightly lower on the other side is the date, '19o9.' The design on the other side has not been finally completed, but It will probably contain ''E Pluribus Unum' at the top and "One Cent in the center in larger lettering, with the head of spear of wheat on either side.

CAUSE AND EFFECT

The little article by which Senator La Toilette was deftly bowled over a few days ago, in the matter of contin- uing the present senate committees until the regular assembling of the six ty-frst congress, next December, was legitimate enough, in the light of lat ter-day senatorial tradition, no doubt, but We entertain serious nlisgivings that it was of a natuye calculated to raise the existing methods of senatorial con trol in the eyes of the masses of the people, nevertheless.
 It was thoroughly well understood, of course, that the Wisconsin man intend ed interposing his veto, in so far as he might have been able, to that com mittee's proposition, and it was not without the bounds of reasonable specu- lation, also, that he might in measure at least, have succeeded in maintaining it. The fact that senator thwartcd the plans of La Toilette simply by talk ing advantage of his temporary absence from the chainber-it is said he had

The education of the world is against war, President Roosevelt and the naval bureaus, to the contrary notwithstand- ing, and it is simply impertineuce on the part of the war department to send out it's little shooting schemes to plague and obstruct the boys who are engaged in the higher aims of life.
 It is another instance of the abuse of the franking privilege, piece of tyr amy quite as oppressive as the stamp tax ever was. It is privilege SO abused that the reason for it no longer exists.

CLIPPED JAPAN's WINGS
Reasons for MT. Roosevelt's Interven.
 tion in Oriental War

Joseph E. Chamberlain in New York
 MSil.
 The result of his pacific intervention between Russia and Japan gave Mir. Roosevelt a sense of having perceived an American emergency before any oth- CT American perceived it, and also feeling that he had been insuring his own country against great disaster by course of proceedings which his countrymen supposed to be a mere be- nevolent service to a couple of foreign powers
 President Roosevelt, at the start, shared the general sympathy of his countrymen with the Japanese; but with the unexpected completeness of the victory and the prospect of Japan $ at tainment of an ascendency in Asia and on the Pacific which no one had fore seen, he began to apprehend situa- ton which would. threaten the inter ests Of the United States, as well as of other Western powers, and lead to further wars.
 The broadest considerations of human ity were alone sufficient motive for the presidents s action in summoning the conference, and upon these considera- tions he acted. The conference met at portsmouth. Japan presented certain demands which were in time reduced to a minimum. Russia baked on conced- ing these demands; and then Roosevelt stepped in as the adviser of potentates and sent two personal messages to the czar which influenced the decision of the matter. He called attention to the situation which would menace all the world if the Japanese power should replace that of Russia on the Asiatic mainland, if Vladivostock should be cut off from St. Petersburg, and if Japan should become the leading power in the Pacific.
 Since that time there has been great readjustment of the worlds sen timent on the subject of Japan and Russia. Japan reaped ,the fruit of vic tory, but the treaty of Portsmouth pre- vented such an aggrandizement of her power as would have been dangerous to the influence of America in the Pa cific. It made possible the understand ing which now exists. There is good reason to believe that it prevented an eventual struggle for Pacific ascendency between Japan and the United States.
 In direct way the calling of the conference stopped the effusion of blood and treasure. This alone was a vast human gain. It also started the era of reforms in Russia by turning the ideas of the governing classes from for eign aggression and adventure to inter- nal rerorm; it was the foundation upon which the Douma was built. This was great thing for Russia, but for US in America greater thing was the withholding of Japan's hand in the Pa cific, and the promotion Of the United states to the leading position as a Pa cific power.
 Since President Roosevelt, almost alone among American statesmen and prblicists, had the sagacity to perceive all that his intervention meant when he called the Portsmouth conference, he can scarcely be blamed for thinking well of it as he looks back over his presidential career.

An Anniversary.

Twenty years ago Thursday last,
Jan. Fl, 1889, The Lamoille County
Savings Bank and Trust Go. first
opened it's doors for business. From
that day to this it's record has been
one of continuous progress. Not only
has every six months period shown a
handsoms Ggain in deposits and as
sets, but the confidence of the depos-
ting public in the management of
the Bank has strengthened, as the
years have gone, until it has come to
be recognized as one of the safest of
Vermont's Savings Banks.
From it's inception this Bank has
stood for conservatism in everything
that pertains to good banking, and
so careful has it been in the placing
of it's loans that it has yet to record
the first dollar lost by a poor note.
No loan is made without careful
examination of property and records,
as well as an investigation into the
morale of the loan, as evidenced in
the character of the would-be b or
rover, disposition to pay, etc. Such
care means safety and is a reason for
the unusual experience of the Bank
as to losses covering period of two
decades.
The Bank believes in Vermont and
Vermont money for VermOnters,
realizing that next to the keeping of
her sons and daughters, the best in
the world, at home, her greatest need
is that her money should also be kept
at home and used to foster and de-
velop her own industries rather than
the industries of some other State.
We cannot refrain from writing
down few figures to show the phe-
nominal growth of this Bank during
the past two OF three years. Its de-
posits January l, 1907, were $772,-
Sl5 80 January l, 1908, $685.
542.57 and January |, 1909, ST.
45l, ops 81, an increase of $685.
2ll 40 in three years
The Bank has always paid it's de
positors the highest rate consisten
with good banking 1t now pays 4
per cent. compounded semi-annually
and money deposited on or before
February 10Th will draw interest
