HISTORY OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT POST
NO. 80. AMERICAN LEGION

Theodore Roosevelt Post No. 80 Of The Amer
lean Legion, was organized September 80, 1920. 1t
was Just about in the middle of July OF the same year
that q group of COlOred EXservice Men met at 24th
and Hamilton for the purpose Of considering the
advisability of organizing a Negro Post In the Clty
of Omaha. At that time, the Colored Exservice Men
were members Of what was known as Douglas County
Post.
At this meeting, a committee consisting OF the
late DR.. Amos B. Madison, DR.. w. W. PEBBLES, Ed
ward Turner and Harrison J. Pinkett, was appointed
to devise plans for setting up a Post inns commit
tee met with a committee from what IS now Omaha
Post No. l, consisting Of Allan Turkey, Hurd Stryker
and Anan Raymond. The results Of this joint meet
ing was that a charter was requested from the State
Department Of Nebraska. Following this request
a charter was granted and issued.
On its first regular meeting, the late Dr.. Amos
B. Madison was elected the first Commander with
Rufus Long serving as Adjutant. A motion was
adopted to name the Post after a militant leader and
former President Of The United States, Theodore
Roosevelt Post No. 30.
DIR. Madison served as Commander for two
years, after whom DR.. William Warrington PEBBLES
succeeded and served for two consecutive years and
was succeeded by Edward Killingsworth, who served
continuously as Commander for seven years.
Jacob G. Carey was elected to his first term
as Commander, following his predecessor. 1t was
during the administration of }. c. Carey, the lncep-
ton of our Auxiliary came into being.
Earl A. Thomas was the next successor as Com
mander, who likewise served a one year term.
Charles ]. Coleman served as presiding officer for
a five year period and was succeeded by Jesse Milsap
who served a one year term.
A change of policy concerning American LIE
gion activities was desired, consequently DIR. ". W..
PEBBLES was reelected two consecutive terms as
Commander. 1t was during this Administrations
term Of office that the idea Of a permanent home
started toward progress. Direct action was put into
motion by the present administration under the Com
membership of ]. G. Carey, who was just recently IN
stalled for the second consecutive term.
Edward Turner has served continuously as Ad-
jutant Of the Post since 1888 to the present time. He
is a charter member as well as a member of the orig
inal Committee requesting a charter.
The Post has purchased a permanent home at
oath and Parker streets, being decorated and main
tanned exclusively by members of the Post. 1t is

THE DANGER OF FEAR
By Ruth TAYLOR

Fear is the most dangerous bomb ever invented,
a weapon far more deadly than any created by the
cunning Of the scientist in his laboratory. No man
knows when or how it will explode, nor how great
will be the devastation wrought because its field
Of operation is the unpredictable mind Of man.
Fear is a lack of knowledge. 1t is the desper-
ate rebellion of the mind against the unknown. The
danger of fear is that the frightened person reacts
against things too quickly. He is too easily startled.
He is not held by conviction He moves before he
thinks.
Frightened people are afraid Of what their OPP
ponent may do, and, oftentimes, they bring on what
they fear by too sudden action. Frightened people
do not act constructively but destructively. They
are against they have not yet found out what
they are for.
We have learned the bitter lesson of what
frightened people have cost through panic in times
Of crisis. That fear was a deliberate weapon of our
enemies was proven in the stampedes of peoples which
helped pave the way for invasion overseas. We have
seen here at home the attempts of subversive ele-
ments to incite trouble, to stir up fears of class,
creed and color. We have been warned again and
again to be on guard against the fear-mOngering of
enemy agents.
The most crucial days in the history of our re-
public lie ahead of us. We are winning the war
but can we win over ourselves in the world to come
when the guns are stilled? Will we let the Impotence
Of fear sabotage our high ideals or will We be
equal to the days ahead? Will we show the same
courage IN facing the problems of peace that we have
shown IN facing the problems Of war?
We must fact the future fearlessly, accepting
neither the RECOMMENDATION of the right nor the regi-
mentatlon Of the left. We must put to work the
same abilities that we have utilized in the conduct
of he war. We must cooperate in the adjustments
OF peace with the same patient neighborliness we
used in the block mobilization for war. We must
care as much for the poor, the friendless, the sick,
and the homeless as we did in times of disaster. We
must apply the lessons Of thrift we have learned in
our own homes, to the management Of our public af-
fairs. We must be as willing to accept our respon-
sibiity to the community in times Of peace as we
have Joined IN community activities in time Of war.
We as Americans must help build up our nation, not
SIT on the sidelines and criticize the actions Of others.
Our own system, imperfect as it is has still given us
more than any other system of government in the
world. 1t can do more but only through the will
ing. patent, fearless cooperation of each of US as in
dividuals.
In the past years we have learned how to face
the fear Of war. Let this lesson keep us unafraid
to face the problems of peace.

THE NEGRO SOLDIER

During the life of the American Colonies and
the American Republic in both Peace and War, the
Negro People have borne their full part. Indeed,
they have given more and received less than any of
our racial stocks.
For their bravery in war they have been praised
throughout our history. Washington led them and
cheered them in the American Revolution. In that
heroic band of Washington's Ragged Continentals"
nearly four thousand Negroes fought, and suffered,
and a full share of them bled and died. And after
victory was won they went back to chains and slavery.
In the Second War with England, the Negro
troops marched and fought and died in the heroic
army of General jackson. And by their sacrifice,
perhaps, saved the United States of America. And,
again, after victory was won, these Soldiers of Lib
erty"" were returned to slavery and chains. And the
years went by and Civil War reared its ugly head.
The nation was about to be rent asunder and
slavery Of man made permanent in the Western
World. And when the cause Of Union and Freedom
seemed almost lost 100000 black soldiers were put
into the fighting ranks of the Nations army and with
their blood again watered the tree Of liberty that it
might grow green again. And with a million Of their
white comrades in arms they freed a race and saved
q nation.
In the Spanish American War, the black soldiers
blazed a trail of glory.
In World War l, 100000 Negro soldiers we're
called into the army Of liberty and democracy, and
their record, as in the days long gone, was heroically
the same.
And now in World War 2, more than 10 per
cent OF all the American soldiers called to military
service have been of the Colored Race. They serve
this day IN every land and cline, where Americans
are carry1n gthe tight for the LIBERTY OF MAN.
Moreover, black men from every land fight
IN the ranks OF the United Nations. Japan alone of
the non-white races, fights for tyrrany and slavery.
AT times these sacrifices of the Negro People
The Omaha guide., 1943-09-18

have seemed in vain. But they were not. They have
helped to advance the cause of freedom and oppor-
tunity for all men of all races everywhere. And dur
ing the years which lie ahead, when other troubles
shall beset mankind is it not possible that the Amer
lean Negro soldier may have a helpful, perhaps a
d~ecidious part in the World of Tomorrow.
Of one thing we may be very sure, if the Negro
soldiers of this war have a larger part in deciding
the course of human society in the momentous years
soon upon us, they will throw whatever strength they
possess into the balance against racial arrogance and
insolence, the twin evils which have cursed the mod
ern world.
All the Negro veterans of other wars and the
soldiers of World War 2 welcome the American Lee
gion to Omaha, and say to the convention, yours is
the duty to fight for the liberty of all and the full
opportunity for all in War and Peace.
May a sincere and hearty salute be given to
the Negro soldiers, living and dead, remembering
that it is the task of the living to make their dreams
of liberty and opportunity come true.

The objective of the Third War Loan is to sell
vastly more bonds to individuals, not only as a means
of financing the war but as an important element
in the battle against imitation. The role of the news

reaching our 3rd War Loan goal, the newspapers of
the nation through their advertising columns, pro-
vide a sure, direct avenue of approach. This was
most magnifcently demonstrated in the End War

therefore, that the Treasury can again count upon
