ELOQUENT PLEA
FOR INDIAN RIGHTS
In a Very Interesting and Con-
vincine Address at the Meth

Chief Red Fox Showed Why
the Indian Should Have the
Ballot; the Church Was Filled

Rev. ChieflRed Fox Skiuhushu,
sthe famous Northern Blackfoot
interpreter of American Indian
music and poetry and American
Indian history and legends" spoke
to large and appreciative audi
ence at the Methodist church on
Sunday morning in the interest of
the American Indian and his pres
ent situation. He appeared IN full
Blackfoot costume and at the close
of the service sang America ia his
native tongue.
Chief Red Fox entered con-
vincing plea that the American
Indian be- given full rights of citi>
zenship, assthat right is denied him
at the present time and extended
to foreigners. Of nearly every ceun-
try of the world, but withheldfTom

carrying out his plea for citizen

very plainlys that the red race is
not savage, as christopher Celuul-

tesy shown him. The fghting
reputation of athe Indian is the
result of the unbrotherly treatment

how his race had. been willing at
all times to protect the flag of the
United States and showed how the
Indian men had always been in
the army ranks from the days of
Washington even until the present
r.ime. He laid especial emphasis
npon the fact that the red imam
had helped free the black man in
the civil war and that in the mot
far distant world war l7y000 Indiaa
youths had been willing to offer
their lives in order that, democracy
might be preserved In spite of
all this patriotism Sor more than
200 years of the history of the
United States the Indian is still
denied the rights of citizenship,
but he has continued to be seady
at all times to protect this country,
his native land, "long before the
white man came"
The chiefs discussion of Indian
Philosophy and Religion was very
interesting, as his analysis of the
Great Mystery showed that theis
God was the same as the Jehovah
of our Bible and they depended
upon him FOR guidance. His ad
dress was concluded by very in
