A New PrOnOun

We note that Senator Ellis
recently lost out in attempting
to put into the language a new
pronoun denoting common gem
der. 1t is not often that new
words come into use by mere
legislative enactment further
than they apply to legal loer.
However there is no necessity
for such enactment, as we al
ready have such a word and 1T
has already risen to that dignity
where it is placed in the Inter
national Dictionary.
The word in question IS
"Thon''. So far as we are
advised this word was sug-
gested and first used by Dr.
White 1--WE do not recall his
initials) who was State Superin-
tendent of Ohio in 1894 or 1895,
During these years, we were
engaged in the publication OF a
school journal, and DR.. White
was a regular contributor. He
frequently used this word in all
tha cosos &c well as in the COM
pound by the addition of SELF.
The international gives two
words. "thon", a combination
and contraction Of the words
"that One", q proposed gender
less prOnoun ia the third per-
lin both singular and plural;
"thone'', contraction Of the
lone".
Following DR.. White. we sug-
,Igest the use of ''thon"'. & When
1.-The word was first proposed, we
saw no real need of another
personal prcnoun as the language
was fairly well expressive with
Tout its use. Now, however.
Isince woman's sphere is 50
4 widened that she takes part irl
matters which was then con-
sidered wholly within the pro,
vince of the stefner sex. such
a word is needed and Should
leone into use to lessen the bur
den on the language.

Mrs. Bette Buchanan

On the morning of the 4th of
April the pure, sweet gentle
spirit of Mrs. Bette Buchanan
was born in the arms of her
Savior to the Mansions prepared
for her, that home of rest where
many loved ones were waiting
to greet her; but best Of all her
God, whom she had served
faithfully, welcomed her.
Mrs. Buchanan was in her
87th year. | never heard a harsh
word pass her lips or a murmur
but always a loving appreciative
word. She leaves six faithful
children all of whom were with
her at the last with the excep-
ton of Mrs. Russell, of Oklaho-
ma. l loved her; she was my
friend faithful and true.
We shall meet but we shall miss
her,
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress her,
When we breathe our evening
prayer.

Women Voters

The League of Women Voters
met last Wednesday at the libra
ry in regular session. The
National Convention meet in
Baltimore from the Goth to the
28th of this month and Miss
Helen Owen was elected as
delegate with Mrs. Garrison as
alternate. After short business
session Messrs. R. J. West and
George Bean entertained and
instructed US generally with re-
gard to the present city Charter
versus the code chapter. So
clear and convincing were the
facts that / doubt whether there
was a vote against the charter
at the election next day.
If we women voters need a
lawyer we have decided to choose
between the two as we like their
presentation of a case.
