Oswego, Or., May 3, 1884.
Editor Willamette Farmer;
Oswego Grange,No. 175, is steadily in
creasing in membership. At our April
meeting the Fourth degree was confer
red upon two young gentlemen and the
first degroe upon one. Thero wore two
applications for membership. Subjects
had been selected at random from the
question box.
Bro. L. M. Davidson made a good
Bpeechon "Farm mechanics ;" thought
from personal experience that it was
better for a man owning a little farm to
put all his labor upon that rather than
work a part of the timo at a trade, and
advised boys to stick to the farm. He
is to continue the subject and tell us
"bow to make Rate- and oter convem-
e,Br Oscar Eaton drew "Housckeop
,.... t.:i. t, ,;,i was about as appro-
priate for hlm.os it would be for a drunk-
en sailor to deliver a tompcrance lecture.
Nevertheless, in his humorous and enter
taining manner lie gave the brothors
sonio wholesome advico in regard to
keeping plenty of wood; having good
water handy ; taking care not to bring
in dirt; making thomselvcs generally
useful, etc.
Sister Delia Carman recited "Rost" in
a very impressive manner. Bro. I?. B.
AVilmot made one of his wittiest speeches
on tho subject of "Milking.Cows." lie
advised kindness tinder all circumstances
and said if a cow kicked it was worse
than useless to kick back better make
friends with the cow.
Sistor Stella E. Shipley read a very
interesting article on "Dishwashing,"
and she said plenty of hot water and
clean towels were a necessity. That
kettles should bo filled with water when
the food is taken out. Dirty pans and
kettles should be washed directly and
should not do permitted to accumulate.
A steel ring or a Chineso kettle washer
is a great convenience. Hot water will
take stains from silver. , Dishes should
be put away so as to make a neat dis
play, or, if loft on the table, should be
arrangod tastily, for if a person's pride
is interested they will take pleasure in
keeping everything neat and clean, and
dishwashing will bo more pleasant.
Bro. A.R.Shipley's subject was "Plow
ing.;" he spoke earnestly of cultivating
tho soil and also the minds.
Sistor C. E. Shipley had a lengthy ar
ticle on "Woman Suffrage." She had
not bolinved in it until chosen to repre
sent that sido in a debate given by throe
lyceums a few years ago. Studying the
subject carefully she soon became con
vinced that it was just and right and
that it was entirely practicable and al
together necessary for tho welfare of
our country. Taxation without repre
sentation is not in accordance with tho
principles of our government, and yet
there are thousands of ladies who pay
taxes and aro unrepresented. Thou
sands of foreigners, ignorant of our lang
uage and form of government, many of
them unable to read their ballots ;
negroes still more ignorant and cfuite as
ready to sell their vote for a drink or a
dollar; criminals pardoned out of the
penitentiaries that they may vote for the
party, all swell the number wno make
our laws. While women, even American
women, though they may be tax-payers,
and intelligent as well as honest, have
no vote. Is this just ? As tho light of
civilization dawns upon a eountry, wo
men are raised toward equality with men.
Are cultured women less noble, vir
tuous, or refined than those who aro in
a state of barbarism? Women do not
usually desire the ballot until convinced
that it would be a means of doing good
in temnerance and other reforms. The
belief that it would have a beneficial re
sult has become so prevalent that thous
ands of men and women are petitioning
the legislatures of different States and
Territories, and even Congress, to pass
Woman Suffrage laws. Among these
petitioners you will find such names as
Joseph Cook, the popular lecturer, o. jv.
Pierce, D. D., of Zion's Herald,' S. J.
Barnes, of .Christian Register, ex-Gov.
Chaffin, Washburn, Talbot, Banks fand
Butler, of Massachusetts, John G. Whit-
tier, President Warren,' of Boston Uni
versity, Louisa M. Alcott, Julia "Ward
Howe, Harriot Prescott Spaffard, Eliza
beth Stuart Thelps, Mary A. Livermore,
and thousands of others whose intelli
gence, prudence and honor are not to
bo, questioned. It is thirteen years since
a woman suffrage law was passed in
Wyoming Territory, and it has proved a
grand success. Women have not been
obliged to hold office, work roads, etc.,'
fnr beine the mothers and home keepers
they have boon exempt like clergymen
and many others. The majority would
not vote for incompetent or dishonorable
nersons. so both political parties were
forced to nominate good men for office,
hence, they have good laws and they
are enforced. Their elections have been
quiet and orderly and they do not think
the men have been demoralized. As
this is an important subject just now I
should like to give more of this essay
but fear it is already too long.
VVorpiy -Lecturer Bryant .had. an in
teresting speecfi and tho balance of the
questions were laid over until the.noxt
meeting.
flinco writinir tho above, tho 'JjAhmer
of May 2 lias arrived and I see yc are
net in favor of woman suaraee,ana
may not.liko'to publish so much on this
. z .. nfen aatrnr
subject. It so put m mo www vw..
Tho statements regarding uie success ox
women suffrago in Wyoming is gather
ed from reliablo sources. Bister Shipley
read a lengthy published letter from tho
pen of Kev. D. J. Pierce, pastor of tho
Baptist church, at Seattle, W. T., but
formerly of Portland, Oregon. Ho
heartily commended woman suffrage
after a residence in Wyoming of eight
years. Ho says ho has preached and
spent considerable time in ovory county
in Wyoming, and that thoir lcsult of
thirteen years experience prove that no
sinclc movement can save a community
from all its evils ; that women, liko mon,
must read and vote, to have a good in
fluenco over politics; that good women
will voto when they aro brought to face
the responsibility and they havo
been the purifying leaven cast into tho
mass which has made it far bettor than
it otherwise would have been. Slowly
and surely the best thought of tho coun
try is accepting tho light forcod upon it
by a lone stato in tho mountains. Or
egon need not fear its influence in de
grading woman by tho ballot. Chris
tianity proclaims tho equality of sexes
before God, etc."
Anothor articlo from tho Grange Vis
itor, and written tfy Henry A. Haight,
was read. Ho arrived at Cheyenne on
election day and says : "I watched tho
event with peculiar interest and was
solemnly impressed with tho result Al
though J watched tho event not at all as
a sympathiser, but as one strongly preju
diced against what was transpiring. I
can only say that with what I saw of tho
nractical workings of tho doctnno of
woman suffrage, I was most favorably
impressed. The experience of yester
day did moro to change my views con
cerning this matter than all tho argu
mont'I havo ovor listened to; and I am
now not sure that any good people
should deny to any intelligent, mature
human mind tho same rights, no matter
what body it happens to bo clothed
