Prince Rupert is the heart of the
totem pole country. The Pacific
coast north and south Of the city and
the banks Of the Skeena from Hazel
ton to the mouth are sentinelled
thickly with these carved wooden
monuments.
bolic. They memorialize religious
myths, the history of a clan or fam
ily. a po~tchlatch feast, or the per
sonal herolsm of a chief. Some are
used to mark graves.
Characteristic totems are images
of birds and animals such as the
bear beaver, whale. eagle, raven and
hawk. How these animals and birds
came to be adopted as family m
blems is explained by some myths
handed down from the heroic age OF
the Indians. Under totem, a
clan is one great family bound to-
gether by ties of kinship.
To a white man a totem pole IS the
trunk of a CEDAR tree covered with
grotesquely carved forms and faces.

But to the Indian, it is 4 hieroglyphic
story clearly set forth in sculpture.
The totem pole Of the Beaver fam
lily. for example, is surmounted by
the crude representation Of a noun
tain which was the original dwelling
place of the family. Beneath is a
frog, the emblem Of the maternal
line. Lower still is the Great Raven,
chief Of the gods, and his son, the
Young Raven, creator Of man Atthe
base is a beaver. emblem Of the
paternal line and mythical founder
of the family. Even when inter
preted, this means little to a white
man. But to an Indian familiar with
the oral traditions respecting the
/ family, it is eloquent of heroic his
tory, poetry and romance.

FIGHTING PROHIBITION
Liquor interests Start Court Proceed
inas to Hold Up Enforcement

Atlantic City, ~ j., Sept %
Liquor interests of this state. delegates
to the Annual Convention of the New
Jersey State Liquor Dealers Protect
i've League laid plans today to start
court proceedings to hold up the en-
forcement OF the Federal Prohibition
Amendment on constitutional grounds
when the amendment would become
operative on January 16
The conviction was expressed that
the other thirteen states holding the
referendum privilege will join New
Jersey in the test and so tie up the
law that at least two years will have
elapsed before the highest courts can
give a final decision.
Following the advice of legal coun-
Gil the delegates at the sessions here
today adopted resolutions calling up
on their lawyers to institute injunct-
ion proceedings as the first step in
the fight, the instant notice of the
operation of the Federal amendment
is served upon them Their principal
fight will center around the fact that
State Legislatures in referendum
states ratifying the amendment usurp-
ed powers of the people, and they are
confident that the courts will back
them up in this claim. They are also
convinced that many states that have
been dry for years will be demanding
a referendum, and once the proposit.
ion is put up to the people their bat
tie will be won.
The dealers had been confident that
the restrictions of the wartime prohi-
bitten law would be lifted shortly, but
today they had information that
changed their views. Leaders express
ed the opinion that the wartime ban
would still be in operation on January
16, and the anticipated short breath
ing spell would therefore not be grant
ed them.
Former Congressman NJ. F. Farley,
of New York, addressing the conven-
! tion as the national Legislative repres-
tative, asserted that there was no poss-
ibility of putting over any "wet' leg
islation. Congress, he avered, was
easily three to one against any such
overtures, so great was the influence
of the Anti-Saloon League.

and Mrs. Frank A. Wahlquist of this
village will succeed H. A. Wilkinson
as general secretary of the local Y.
NJ. G. A., on October /.
Mr. Wahlquist is Bennington
young man and received a portion of
his education in the Bennington
schools. He was for number OF
years a student at Hebron academy,
Hebron, Me, where he had just com
rpleted course preparatory to taking
up the study of medicine when he was
called into the service. He was with
the American army of occupation in
Germany. Before returning to Ameri-
ca he took a three months course at
the university at Beaum. When dis
Sarged from the service he had been
20. 1ated to sergeant, first class.
ssDiLs5oming secretary Of the local
"Y" M. Wahlquist returns to an in
stitution in which he has maintained
. active interest for years. Soon
after the building at the corner Of
Main and School streets was built he
was made a paid assistant on the staff
and rdmained in that position for
about a year. While at Hebron acad-
emy he acquired further equipment for
the duties he will assume next month
as he was closely identified with the
Y, NJ. G. A. at the school, was "a mem
ber of the cabinet and was the presi-
dent for two years He has had con
siderable experience in the handling
of young boys, having organized
boys club at Andover, Me-
Mr. Wahlquist recently married Miss
Ruth A. Claytes of Camden, Me, and
they are at present living at the home
of Mr.. Wahlquist's parents.
The Y. NJ. c. A directors believe
that they have made a fortunate
choice in selecting Mr. Wahlquist for
the position of secretary. Bennington
people know him as a young man of
excellent habits, hard worker at
whatever he has undertaken and
thorough gentleman. With the assis
tance that will gladly be extended him
by the directors and the public he
should be able to carry forward the
work of the Y M. c. A, and attain
the purposes for which the organizat-
ion was created

DELAY ACTION
ON AME MOMENT
BY AGREEMENT
Senator Johnson Will Resume
Trail of Wilson
GOES TO PACIFIC COAST
Generally Understood That the John
son Amendment to Come Up
After Others Voted On

Washington. Sept. 25.-Aftre re-
ceiving assurances that no move
would be made to bring up his amend
ment for the equalization of the votes
of the United States and Great Brit
ain in the League of Nations Assemb-
ly, under the Versailles treaty during
his absence from the capital, Senator
Johnson of California announced late
today that he would resume his anti
League stumpng tour tomorrow go
ing directly to the Pacific Coast.
This decision was reached by Mr..
Johnson after conferences with Sen
ator Lodge the majority leader and
Senator Swanson. one of the minority
leaders Senator Johnson was assur-
ed that the other amendments to the
treaty proposed by the majority OF
the Foreign Relations Committee
would be taken up and disposed of
before his amendment was moved.
Mr. Johnson wanted to be on hand
to join in the debate on his amend
ment, he told Mr. Lodge and Mr.
Swanson, and would abandon his trip,
much as he desired to resume, ii un-
less he were certain that nothing
would be done concerning it in his
absence
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, one
of the leaders of the mild reserya-
tionists," acting for his confreres in
that group, informed Mr. Lodge and
Mr.. Swanson today that at least seven
Senator'S were opposed to having the
Johnson amendment brought up at
this time They wanted opportunity
he said, to attempt a compromise on
a reservation covering the proposal
Bluntly he told the two senators that
IL an effort were made 10 force the
Johnson amendment to vote in op
position to their attempt at com
promise, they would vote against its
consideration
Associated with Mr. IsenrOot in this
move, he told the two Senators were
Messrs. McCumber, McNary, Nelson.
Kellogg. Hale and Colt Others Of
the mild reservationists." he said
might join them The votes OF the
seven Senators would be sufficient to
block any attempt by the leaders
were they so disposed to move the
Johnson amendment.
Mr.. Lodge assured Mr. Lenroot that
the Republican leaders had no inten-
tion of moving the amendment with
Mr.. Johnson away from the Capital
Mr.. Swanson said that he was entire
ly willing to have the vote come after
all the other proposed amendments
have been voted on. This was under
stood to reflect the feeling OF Mr.
Hitchcock, who announced in the Sen
ate several days ago that he would
not force up the amendment in Mr.
Johnsons absence

ROBERT FROST READ POEMS
Famous Writer Was Guest of Poetry
Club Last Week.

Arlington has something at last to
match with Strattons memories OF
the Daniel Webster visit and address,
for Robert Frost, the poet, has visit
ed Arlington and spoken there. There
/ is, however, something quaint in com
pairing the traditional bombastic pres
ence of the oratorical Webster with
the utter quiet sincerity and spOn-
taniety of Mr.. Frost,
To the large and breathlessly at
tentive audience which gathered at
Mrs Gilchrist's house to hear him, he
read poem after poem as though he
were that moment composing them,
at though they were as new to him as
to anyone. And the people before
him, never taking their eyes from his
face, listened as though their lives
depended on their catching every
syllable uttered by that quiet, humer-
Gus, sincere voice, for it is to the
world sincere that one comes back al
ways in speaking of Mr. Frost
The members Of the Poetry Discus
sion Glass and their friends know
now that his personality, like his poe
try, is the outward sign and symbol Of
a deep and constant communion with
truth.
Mr. Frost read first. that inimitably
profound poem "Mending Wall"
which means more every time il is
read or heard read.
Beside Mending Wall, Mr. Frost
read from North Of Bosron" THE
Death of the Hired Man" The Noun
tain" and THE Black Cottage" from
Mountain interval The Road not
Taken" THE Telephone" "Birches,"
The Cow in Apple Time" ian anus
ing story of the Bacchic revel of
cow from "a Boys WILL" ITO the
Thawing Wind" Moving" and THE
Tuft OF Flowers.
The next meeting of the Poetry So
ciety will be held in October, time
and place to be announced later. Miss
Rittenhouse has submitted the follow
ing names for officers in a permanent
organization to be decided upon at
the October meeting.

administer the proper chastisement
to his son, who is 81, and to his
grandson, Henry is due for a thrash-
ing from his father William Memis.

that plain in strong language to police

to discuss his trouble with any 'un-
derlings" on the police department
And then, chief" he continued,
them young scamps, my grandson
and his boy, stole the money on me 4;
didn't they, Henry?"
Henry substantiated his fathers
story.
And, chief when you get them

Of the head of the family as he left
