Ed.Faiimkh: Glnnolng ovor your papor or
tho 23d lust., I noticed a lottor from a young
lady of Lnno county, who was "young nnd
Inexperienced, "nnd oxamlniug tho contents
round 6onio vory unreasonable language.
Now in will not bo doing (injustice I would
llko to occupy a small spacolnyour valuablo
paper In roply.
I think tho young lady of Lnno county
must hnvo written her lcltor in n very hasty
manner, without even realizing what sho
said. Sho Is no doubt, as sho says, "vory
young nnd inoxporieuccd;" sho scorns to
consider tho Fahmku an uuvaluable, un
Interesting papor simply bocauso tho editor
could not dovoto n largo spneo to tho temper
anco causo. I daro say thero Is not a paper
published In tho Stato of Oregon that is of
moro Interest to tbo community nt largo than
tho Fahmku. Thero Is not another ono that
will or doos try to do Justice by nil as near as
tho wn-i-AMirrri: FAitjn:it does. I'm euro
tbo euro of ticks on horses Is of great Interest
to tho farmers, perhaps not to that young
lady. Sho considers tho I. O, ot G. T.
organization us far nbovo tho grnngerlsm as
heavon Is nbovo tho lost." I would rospect
fully ask this young lady what sho knows
about gruugorUm? Whon did sho Join tho
grange, and how doos tho know tho prlncl
pics tho grango ;is based upon? I fear sho
doos not understand tbo tubjoct of her dis
course, Yes, tho boys and girls of to-day
will bo tho inon nnd women of our boloved
country iu a fow years, nnd as tbey grow up
Into manhood and womanhood may they all
bo attached to that puro,truo, great nnd auo
cessful organization, tbo graugo; that thoy
may bo ablo to tako bold of our couutry's af
fairs nnd make it a happy homo for all;
blessed nnd respected without tbo curso of
monopolies. And I liopo somo earnost and
fulthful P. or II. will publish tho Fahmku
In those futuro days, that it may for ages
and ages, with lncrcasod usefulness, circu
late throughout our land. I for ono will do
all In my power for the bonetlt of that valu
ablo paper and I think the young lady of
"Lane" will exert but littlo Influence against
Its circulation. I bopo she will soon get the
facts gathered up so that we may see her ex
posure or the "villainy or the P.orU." Now
letmeask ber what good thel.O.G.T.has
accomplished since they bavo been organ
ized In onr country? I'm shure I bold no
malice toward that organization, but the
Woman Suffrage Association and the I, O.O.
T. go too much band, in band to accomplish
much. "I glory in her spunk" when she
says she will battlo against tho demon, Rum,
but she has taken a wrong step in denounc
ing the Patrons of Husbandry, which teach
os temperance by example and precept,
I have written much moro than I intend
ed, but I am a "Granger" and not ashamed
of it. I remain a faithful friend of the Wn.
lamkttk Fahmku. Yours, most respectful
