Show RED MAN APPEALS FOR AID Indian Preacher Urges That Land Belonging Be-longing to His Tribe Be Not Opened for Settlement. Reverend YVhltefeather, Indian preacher and veteran of the World war, has appealed to the American Legion Weekly for the protection of the land that belongs to his tribe, following a proposal to open up the reservation near Stillwater. Nev., for settlement. "Make a law that no white man or Mexican can take our land or marry In this tribe," he wrote. "Put all poor Indians In good shape, and I know that the government will be well paid in the long run. We have no lazy Indians Indi-ans here at all. The white man would like to see us poor Indians give up our land and work for them. A man, no matter who he Is, if he works out for others Is the loser."
