ton Of his firm in contesting the va

unfriendly to organized labor; that it
| would be pleased to adopt the eight
hour day, but objected to the late
opening hour provided for in the ordi-
nance. He was received with becom-
| ing courtesy by the delegates.
Secretary George w. Lawson of the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor

Miss Clara L. Dwinell was born
IN Glover, June 20, 1884, the daughter
of Dwight j. and Julia L. (Merriam)
Dwinen. Her mother died when she
was nine years of age, after which
time she lived with her uncle and
aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Lucius Nye in
Coventry until all came to make
their home in Orleans in 1906.
Miss Dwine1 graduated from St.
Johnsbury academy IN 1908, and has
taught in the public schools of Cow
entry and Orleans the greater part
of the time since. She was a con-
ScientIouS worker, with more courage
and ambition than strength. This
resulted in many serious illnesses
which gradually undermined her vi
taity, until on December s, she an
swered the final call to the far shore.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon, of last week, Rev. R. A.
Hamilton of Orleans, Rev. L. A. Ed
wards of Newport and Rev. A. s.

Glover, beside her mother.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her
father, Dwight J. Dwinel of Mont
Orleans, three brothers, ROLAND d.
OF Lowell, Mass, Carl NJ. of Orleans,
and Dean n. of Newport, and wide
circle of devoted friends. The great
Iprofusion of flowers sent by or
CARNATIONS and individuals from faI
and near bore silent testimony of the
love and esteem in which she was
held by all who knew her
In early life she united with the

Rome. July 1,--Critical comment on President Wilson's sojourn in Europe is made today by the Tribuna, in discuss ing his return to the. United States.
 Seven months ago an immense halo of popularity surrounded President Wilson v the Tribuna editorial says. Europe awaited him as the Messiah in new era of history, while now he leaves amidst almost general indifference. ap- bearing as an intruder in our continen- tai history, our European civilization, and our sacred ideals.

President Wilson, despite his pure intentions, failed of his object. He returns to America leaving behind him chaos of disorder, passions and disllusions since he could not conclude peace according to his prin- ciples, but made compromise brought about by the overbearing attitude of the strong toward the weak
