Where the People
 May Have Hearing
MORE ABOUT THE "NIGGER"

To the Editor of The Republican
 Sir: Kindly permit a line with
 reference to the article in this morn | ing's issue relative to the photoplay
 The Nigger," now billed here.
 Mir Mcintyre is made to say: Tt does not injure the race in thought or deed," etc. etc. He carefully avoids mention of race prejudice, which is our contention. That the photo tends to create race prejudice lao one will deny, and for this reason the Johnson-J effries fight was pro hibited in this city. You, too, are made to say in this article, This is said to be the first time that any race opposition to this picture has been seriously raised
 Perhaps it is the first time, but you are far wrong. This photoplay was barred at the request of the col cred citizens in Chicago, Toledo, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and many other eastern cities. The mayor of Cincinnati said of it: Tt is a riot breeder and must not be shown here" No colored man with a grain of sense will say the title is not ob- Jectionable to him. There is moro race hatred right here in Phoenix to the square inch than in any city I have lived in, and We do not think this picture will make the negro haters feel more kindly toward us. We, however. are doing the best we can, causing but little trouble to the authorities, taking such employment as we can get, and only ask civil treatment and protection from such

NONE TOO POOR TO GIVE
Queens Fund Receives Odd Gifts
 From All Over the Empire

l With the business of collecting q record" sum for the queens work for women fund-the total has reached G154 4,596-here is mingled d romantic element always associated with every big work of philanthropy. A few instances may be given of this aspect of the work.
 An old woman of 95 travelled to London to deliver personally to Lady RoXburgh the gift of 2 jubilee soy ereign, carefully wrapped up in tissue paper. Another donor was a blind old woman, who was led up by Boy Scout to present the savings Of many years. A soldiers fiancee sent her engagement ring with the fol- lowing explanation: "The boy who gave me this ring made me promise before he joined his regiment that if anything happened to him I was to giv cit away. He will never come back. With a wrench I send it to you, as his gift to the queens fund.
 A poor woman sent a thick strand of glossy, bright brown hair to bo sold for the good of the cause From Jamaica Plain an American girl sent a gold coin which she had worn since she ended her visit to England "It carries with it." she wrote, my loy- alty and the loyalty of many of my countrymen to the people who speak our language and by whose best tra ditions we strive to live" From Southern India came G5 14s from F defamatory photoplays as The Mig ger" I thank you for this space.

command. His wider education and greater
opportunities led him into the scientific side
OF Arctic navigation, and his several volumes
are standard works in that field and in the
field of magnetics. But while the son sur
passed the father in the purely scientific side
Of Arctic lfe William Scoresby, ST., holds a
very high place in the annals of Arctic navi-
cation. He was a farmers son from near
Whitby, and it was not until he was twenty
that he took to the sea, that is in 1880, but
he had already studied navigation and he soon
got himself into trouble by correcting the
blunders OF the mate, thereby saving the ship,
but making residence aboard of her too un-
comfortable for Scoresby.
On cruise to Gibraltar he was captured by
the Spanards, but at length escaped from
Spain and got back home. In the spring OF
1885 he shipped on the Henrietta for his first
voyage to the Greenland whale fishery, and
the Henrietta was thenceforth his home every
season for some twelve years. The logbooks
begin with the cruise of 1886. If he kept any
account of his 1885 voyage, it has not yet come
to light. His cruises in the Henrietta are re-
corded in spirit of keen appreciation of his
surroundings. He was pious man, and his
son, having the same tendencies, left the sea
after 1922 and entered Queens College, Cam
bridge, eventually receiving the degree OF d. D.
His father recorded prayers in the logbook.
June II, 1896, as shown on the facsimile page
reproduced herewith, he writes, 20 Most mer-
ciful Father who of thy gracious Goodness
hast crowned our Labours with success, we
give the Humble & Hearty thanks for this thy
special Bounty, Beseeching the to continue thy
loving kindness unto US, that we may enjoy
the fruits OF our Labours to thy Glory and our
comfort, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen"
During all the voyages much attention was
paid to the topography of the lands coasted,
and on the voyage made in 1922 the coast of
Greenland from 72' 30 down to 60 30 was
charted (400 miles), and the logbook OF the
Fame for 1922 shows sketches OF the coast
similar to the illustrations in the volume
Scoresby jr, published. The west coast OF
Spitzbergen and one coast OF Jan Mayen were
also surveyed On the 1887 voyage William
Scoresby, sr.. is put down as harpooner. He
had thus already taken step upward from the
duties OF the year before. This time he kept

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SEAL WHICH
HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED.

What could be more fitting in the hands OF
sailor than a lead line and cross-staf? The
design for the seal definite authorization for
which the commission is seeking bears the sailor
with the lead line and cross-statf.
This is the official description of the seal which
has been recommended:
arms: Upon a shield saltre-wise, the sails Of
a windmill. Between the sails, in chief beaver.
In base a beaver and on each flank flour barrel.
supporters: Dexter, a sailor, his right arm
bent. and holding in his right hand plummet;
his left arm bent, his left hand resting on the
top of the shield above his right shoulder
cross-staf Sinister. an Indian OF Manhattan, his
right arm bent, his right hand resting on the top
of the shield, his left hand holding the upper end
of bow, the lower end of which rests on the
ground. Shield and supporters resting upon a
horizontal laurel branch.
Date: Beneath the horizontal laurel branch
the date 1864, being the year OF the capture OF
New Amsterdam by the English and the first use
of the name OF the City of New York.
Crest: Upon a hemisphere, an American eagle
with wings displayed.
Legend: Upon a ribbon half encirclng the
lower half of the design the words 'Sigillum Civil
tatus Novi Eboraci.
"The whole encircled by laurel wreath"
Take look at the present seal and see how

excitement of weighing anchor and setting sail
the parting cup was set down on the open
