THE COOPERATIVE STORE CoMPA.
NY INCORPORATED FOR 500, 900.

Well on to one year ago quite a
number of Colored business men of this
city banded themselves together and
launched a new enterprise known as the
Great Cooperative Store Company, its
officers and directors are as follows:
Ofieers-J. Upper, Pres; ]. J. Stone,
first viee-president; B. L. Brown, second
viee-president; B. F. Liggins, third vice
president; NJ. F. Finney, see y; Edward
Felix, Treas. Direetors-B. L. Brown,
Edward Felix, VIM l. Jenkins, ]. j.
Stone, VIM NJ. Brewer, B. F. Liggins,
NJ. F. Finney and o. J. Peterson.
One of the first things they attempted
to accomplish was to establish a well
stocked grocery store at $500 s. State
street, which has been successfully run
ming for some time.
As stated before the company is in
eorporated for 800, and so far some
thousands of dollars worth of stock has
been sold, which sells for $40 per share.
Edward Felix, who has ran a store for
a number Of years, corner Of 3Oth and
Federal streets, is the treasurer of the
company and he is bonded for 1000 by
the Fidelity and Casualty Company of
New York City.
With the proper management of this
new enterprise conducted by Colored
people it should meet with the greatest
of success.

SLAVERY IN THE PHILIPPINES

From the far Of Philippine Islands
comes the startling story that slavery
actual, physical, revolving slavery is
praetieed in that Archipelago. The
Congress at Washington has taken
official notice Of its existence. On
Wednesday of this week when the Phil.
ippines Bill come up for discussion the
startling charge was made directly by
Congressman Cooper that the practice
Of human bondage was common in
that country. His vigorous speech on
the subject was followed by the intro
duction of the following amendment
to the Bill "That Slavery shall not
exist in the Philippine Islands nor
shall involuntary servitude exist there
in except as q punishment for crime. "
We are glad to note that the Amend
ment was adopted with some dissent
ing voice and votes from the Bourbon
South.
An observation on this subject in our
opinion Is timely.
Prior to the oeeupstion Of these Is
lands as result Of the spanish-Ameri-
can War, no ons had ever heard Of
human slavery in those Islands. With
Our rule Of these unhappy Islands and
its Inhabitants, We are told, cane the

Two or three weeks before the late
primaries the Hon. Paul A. Hazard, one
of the present trustees of the sanitary
district of Chicago and Republican
candidate for denomination for that
same position gave his word and honor
to one of the representatives of The
Broad AK to the "effeet that inasmueh
as the paper stood by him and had
treated him fine when he was a candi-
date in 1905, that he wanted the paper
to speak a few good words for him
to its thousands of readers.
But as time went by it turned out
that his word and honor was not worth
two whOOps in purgatory, for in the
meantime he had permitted himself to
fall into the hands of several COlOred
flimfammers or political deadbeats and
confidence men even after he had been
warned to ease away from them by
one of his true ColOred friends and
they induced him to accompany them
on the State street stroll one evening.
On the way they frequented several
drinking resorts and it is said that
when the Hon. Mr.. Hazard had finished
treating the large gang of tough look
ing Colored men hanging around in
them who promised to vote for him as
long as he was engaged in treating
them, that he was out almost one hun
dred dollars.
Several times he was childish enough
to think that he was raising old ned
while he was engaged in addressing a
lot of Colored men in a gambling club
which was located on State street north
of 31st street, which had been raided
by the police a few weeks before he
became hooked up with its shining
lights; at each meeting held in those
political gambling rooms, free beer, free
whiskey, free dice or free gambling and
everything else free was on tap.
The strangest thing in connection
with the Hon. Mr.. Hazard in this respect
was that he labored under the impress
sion that he was assoeiating or rubbing
up against the very best Colored voters
in Chicago, whereas he was mixed up
with some of the worst roughhOuse and
strongarm Colored political men in this
city for some of them would never
hesitate in snatching pennies from the
eyes of dead men.
The last straw which finally broke
the eamel's back which contributed to
the defeat of the Hon. Mr.. Hazard more
than anything else was that after the
gentlemen, just referred to, had sue
eeeded in successfully throwing some
kind of fine dust in his eyes he was run
up against the Rev. Hon. Archibald
James Carey, Phi. D. D. D., who also
greatly assisted to work the Hon. Mr..
Hazard, he was induced to run his cut
and write up in the Old Church Or
gan, which had been absolutely dead
for almost two years. He felt as proud
as a French dancing master when he
was called upon to speak at two or
three meetings held at the Institutional
church for his special benefit and that
was his undoing for the decent and
highly respectable COlored people will
always vote against all candidates, be
they Democrats or Republicans, who at
tempt to bask in the sunshine or keep
within the shadow of the Rev. Hon.

LET'S BE NEIGHBoRLY.

How do you like your neighborsi
Pretty good people, are theyf Keep
their premises neat, clean and attractive
all the time. Interested in matters
that affect the good of the neighbor-
hood and always doing whatever they
can to help make things a little better

And now that we are on the subject
Of neighbOrs, what do your neighbors
think Of yOui Do they come to you
for help and counsel in matters affect
ing the health, comfort and safety Of
the community And when you are
thus appealed to, do you respond and
in such q way as to convince them that
you are with them to q finish in any
fight that is being engaged in for com
munity bettermenti This is the sort Of
spirit that should dominate our ideas
Of good citizenship. It is also the
spirit thas helps 70 make rs AL good
neighbors, and the places where We
live, good neighb0rhoods.
The broad ax., 1914-10-10

1t is a fundamental principle of com
munity life that no man may use his
premises in a way that works harm
to his fellow men. A dirty, badly kept
house or yard works damage to ad-
iaeent property and lessons its money
value always; and sometimes becomes
a menace to the health of an entire
community. It is because this is true
that we have a Sanitary Code and n
Department of Health to enforce its
provisions against bad neighbOrs for
the protection of those who are-dOing
their best to be good neighbors.
Do not forget that it takes some
thing else besides property, that is, just
houses and lots, to make up a good
neighborhood. 1t requires that these
houses and lots be occupied by good,
honest and kindly disposed people; that
these people must be eleanly and order
Iy in their habits and as anxious and
willing to protect their neighbOrs'
health and comfort as they are their
own. If one neighbor does something
that wrongs his neighbOrs, the whole
community feels it. If neighbOr A has
= case of scarlet fever in his home and
through his earelessness this dread di-
sease becomes epidemic in his com
munity, he has grievously wronged
those whom it should have been his
neighborly duty to protect. Is this not
true2 Think it over.
Do not wait until the inspector from
the Department of Health tells you to
clean up. Beat him to it. Your eyes
should be as good as his.

Prosperity Without Income.

The Kansas boosters announce a
$100 100000 wheat crop and predict
that In 1918 every family in the State
will own an automobile. They have
one auto to every eight families now
and at the present rate of increase
there will be no Jayhawker family
without a devil wagon in the next
four years.
The whole country will rejoice in
the prosperity of Kansas and hope
that this prosperity will appear in
the income tax collection soon. The
people OF Kansas, like those Of some
of the Southern States, have insisted
on having a Federal income tax, and
some OF them have been suspicious
that the people in the East would not
make complete returns.
But New York has come forward
with the payment Of $12,523,OOO Of "a
little less than one-half the total in
come tax collected. Illinois has paid
more than $2,O00,000. Massachusetts
more than $1,500,000, Pennsylvania
more than $3,000,00O, Michigan,
81 ,O12 900; Ohio, $914,000; Oregon,
5000, 900; New Jersey, $4,000; Con-
necticut and Rhode Island, $733,000;
Missouri, $657 900; Texas, 1851 900;
Minnesota, $4,000; Virginia, $102,-
900; Louisiana, $159,000; Maryland,
Delaware and the District OF Colum-
bia, $S32,OOO; California, $SSS,0OO,
and Kansas, $49,960.11.
Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Montana
and all the Western States, with the
exception of North and South Dakota,
New Mexico, and Arizona, contributed
more income tax than did the great
State of Kansas, with its $1O0,OOO,OOO
wheat crop and automobiles for ev-
cry family in prospect. It Is true
that North Carolina, the home OF the
chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, dropped below Kansas, with
only SAG, 1000, but North Carolina has
not boasted of a great wheat crop
and automobiles for everybody.
The people at whom the income tax
was leveled seem to have been fairly
honest in making returns, and If
there il to be an inquisition to locate
the incomes that have not contrib
uted, 1t ought to be where they ad-
vertise their wealth but do not al
low the revenue collector to locate
tie incomes that are to supply auto
to every family in the State
in the next four years.
But perhaps Kansas will make a
better showing in the income tax
in 1918, or even this year
when the $100,000,000 wheat crop il
sold.-Washington Herald.

Our immigration Laws.

There seems to be a great hue and
cry throughout the United States FOR
a general amendment Of the Immi-
grafton Laws. Some advocate per
hitting future immigration only upon
a pledge of the immigrant to engage
in tilling the soil, while those inter-
ested in hygiene have published much
advocating stricter regulations Tor
the corporal and mental sanity of
aliens admitted to our shores.
We owe the vast importance of the
United States, with her tremendous
trade Importance, largely to immi-
grafton. The tie between the mother
countries and the land OF their peo-
pies choice, as we'll as the great in
crease in our numbers, counting in
those who have become naturalized
citizens of the United States, tend to
make our commerce both at home
and abroad much more profitable and
expansive than it could ever be other
wise. Yet the advocates Of hygiene
are right about the Stricter regula-
tions, as their statistics will prove
without argument. Whether 1t would
be wise to restrict immigrants pros
poets here to the rural pursuits or
not, is a question that must be han
died by the ablest minds in the land
1t does seem that the time has
come for the people Of the United
States to have developed into a
nation of its own people, with its own
national characteristics, aside from
those of the peoples who have gone
to make up our citizenship, and this
will probably be one or the great ma
tional problems of the next ten years
One thing l. certain. That the
relations of the United States with
our alien friends must b. preserved
much as they are, and whatever
measures are taken must BE- not On
account OF any undesirability OF those
alien friends, but simply as may ap-
ply To those who are unfit for con-
structiye citizenship. Once the ques-
tion il raised i'm Congress, there will
be good brains, no doubt, to solve the
problem.

Map of HagerstOWn.

The Maryland Geological Survey
under the direction OF Professor
William Bullock Clark, State Geolo-
gist, has Just issued map Of Hagers-
town and vicinity on the scale OF
1000 feet to the inch. This is the
first OF the series Oh town and city
maps which the Geological Survey
proposes to issue covering the larger
towns of the State. 1t is similar in
style to the map Of Baltimore and
vicinity Of which this organization
has already issued three sheets.
Each sheet includes an area OF 20
square miles arranged in half square
blocks with reference to an easily
located and familiar object like the
Court House or public square. The
map is primarily carefully executed
plan OF the streets, highways and
railroads on which the houses are
shown in conventional manner. Close
ly built squares are represented as
solid blocks facing the street, while
detached houses are represented by
conventional squares without any at
tempt to show the exact configuration
of the individual buildings. The ele-
walton Of the land il shown by dotted
20 feet in height above mean sea
level.
One of the most interesting and
valuable features of the map il the
representation Of the property lines
and the indication of the present
ownership OF the larger tracts The
location Of these property lines has
introduced many difficulties and the
Geological Survey has found that the
records in the various Offices OF the
city and state frequently show dis
crepancies which at times can not be
reconciled.
The map Of Hagerstown is especial
ly timely ami up-to-date In showing
the new city boundaries and wards as
determined by the last General AS
sembly of Maryland The State or
ganization has been assisted i'm the
preparation of the Hagerstown map
by 4. B- Ferguson and Company Of
that city, to whom much OF the credit
Of this work is given.
These maps are not free for dis
tribution but may be obtained by
payment of a nominal charge OF
twenty-five cents which covers in
part the costs of distribution and re
neWal.
