A great movement is on foot headed
by B. w. Fits, originator of the
Great Essay Contests that has stirred
Chicago for the past six years, to or
ganize a Sunday Afternoon Club at
the Institutional Church, 3Sth and
Dearborn Sts., where people who enjoy
literary work may 60 any Sunday af-
ternoon at $3.50 O'Clock and hear es-
says and addresses by some of the
brainy men and women of the city and
country. This is expected to be the
largest purely literary organization in
Chicago. 1t is to be known as the Sun
day Afternoon Club.
The Pastor, of the Institutional
Church, assures Mr.. Fits and the
other young men who are to assist him
in organizing this great literary club
that the church edifce is at their dis
posal for the good of the literary low
ing people of Chicago and every cour-
tesy possible will be shown them by
himself and officers. This will be the
only club of its kind in the Northwest
run by Colored people.
The musical part of the program is
expected to be great feature. The
first meeting will be held Sunday af-
ternoon, Jan. End, at $3.50 O'Clock. A
short program will be rendered by vol
untary talent, also officers for the

greatly increased majority, running
far ahead in the white district of his
white opponents. His record, in both
the sessions of the legislature plain
ly speaks for itself. His memorable
speech before that body, against the
birth of Nation, will live in the
hearts of his fellow citizens as long
as Illinois, is part of this Republic.
Maj. Jackson desires at this time to
state that he is a candidate for the
legislature from the third senatorial
district and that he has been so far
highly endorsed, by the Legislative
voters League and that when the time
comes, the majority of the best people
residing in that district regardless of
their race or color, will for the third
time, vote to Ireland him in the legisla-
ture at Springfield, Illinois.

Major Robert R. Jackson, who needs
no long introduction to the readers of
The Broad AK, for his past life is like
an open book, and can be easily read,
by those who run and read.
For years, he honestly and faith
fully served the people of this city, as
assistant superintendent at the Ar
mour Station, Chicago Postofice,
which was so far the highest and
most responsible position to be held
by any colored man in the Federal
service.
In 1912, Maj. Jackson, was elected
to the legislature of Illinois from the
third Senatorial district, carrying As

session of the legislature, he accom-

HEALTH NOTES.

Now then before the spring draws
nigh,
Be sure and swat that winter fly.
1t is well known that enough flies
live through the winter in our homes,
hotels, restaurants and other places
where it is always warm, to start the
work of propagating their kind as soon
as the warm weather comes. Then
with the nearby manure pile the ideal
breeding place is soon found and in a
very little while these dangerous lit
tie pests are swarming everywhere.
Under the provisions of an ordinance
regulating the storage and handling
of stable refuse, it is made unlawful
for anyone to maintain a receptacle in
any street, alley or public place in the
City of Chicago after January l, 1916.
In order to enforce the provisions of
this ordinance the Commissioner of
Health is asking the aid of all civic
co-operators through out the city to
the end that by the time the warm
weather is here all of these breeding
places for flies shall have been abol-
ished.
If this can be done and the other
provisions of the ordinance enforced,
as to the proper storage of manure on
premises, together with the prompt re-
moval of the same, Chicago will be
practically a fyless city. And if we
can get rid of the flies it will be a
most effective, preventive measure
against these diseases that it is well
known are spread and carried by flies.
1t is expected that every right think
ing citizen will cooperate in this win
ter campaign against the fly. Espe.
tally is it urgent that all stable own
srs make every effort to at once get |
i'd Of all alley receptacles and install
IN their premises the kind required by
he ordinance. Right now is the time
'or us to make winning fight for a
'leaner, healthier city.

THE WIZARD OF TUsKEGEE.
Ry King ,Iefferzor

By King Jefferson.
Up from the soil of slavery
There sprang a prophet preaching
truth,
Who shaped the character of youth
For generations yet to be.
In Alabama's vineyard grew
A Moses, yea, Pioneer,
Whose soul was pure as skies are
clear,
When stars peep from their vaulted
blue.
He drew an orbit to advance,
The pull of millions in distress,
Altar back in the wilderness
Of poverty and ignorance.
His speciality was not to spread,
The bubbles of forensic lore,
Nor ply the academic ore
Which burns an infant peoples head.
But rather PROFOUND and preach,
The gospel of industrial art;
To educate the hand and heart
How to master things within their
reach.
No animus of racial rage
Within his bosom did abide,
Nor rumble forth. He lived and
died,
The peaceful hero of the age.
Woke he those backward sombre dens
OF inertia and set pace,
Of firm progress which proved the
race,
The heirs of full fedged citizens.
o, Dixie, Zone Of song and spree
Where mellow music melts the glen,
Among thy noted, gifted men;
Write high the name of Booker T.
Then forward push, support and boost
The great foundation and its plan,
Promoted by the ablest man,
The sunny south has yet produced.
May that prime force that guides the
earth,
To this neuclus add greater things.
SO governors, presidents and kings,
Shall recognize the black mans worth.
Then he who rose from humblest
strain,
10 build Tuskegee' g famous school
And shaped the world a new schedule,
Shall not have lived and toiled in
vain.
