which have been made that the Nor-
wsllt Hospital Is a public institution.
“1- in name only, it is only fair to demand
that an investigation of its oilicial con-
duct be made, In order that the be
tugged public mind may have a clear-
er understanding of the situation.
The controversy on this point is now
of long standing duration and It is on-
fair In every respect to allow the alt-
nation to continue as at present. If
the hospital is managed and manipu-
lated for the private benefit of a small
ring of physicians. ofllclsliy known as
the staff. then It is an outrage on the
citizens of the town. and If, on the
other hand, the present conduct of
that institution is entirely proper and
fair, the asperalous that have been cast
are grossly unjust.
But. whatever the condition Is, the
citizens, the tax-payers and all of tho
suppostcrs of the hospital. should be
furnishcd with the evidence by which
they may judge for themselves.
If it is a fact that there should be a
change, now is the time to make It. If
the present control is proper and «quit
able. let the tight cease; if not. let the
public stamp out the injustice- with all
possible celerity. Settle tho controver-
sy for once and all time.
Yours for fairness,
FAIRWAY.
The “Hold Up."
Editor of The Sentinel:
In common with a host of others. I
have been following the plans to bring
the financial claims of the Norwalk
Hospital to the attention of the people.
These are the days of advertising in
Its most ingenious and artistic form.
And so much of this has been done
that it has come to be not only a wise
thing to advertise goods one has for
sale. or the enterprise one would pro—
mote. but It is a practical necessity.
The people, accustomed to striking
statement and pictured suggestion of
the merits of nearly all they purchase,
and induced to enter on all their plans-
ure and recreation by picture and
printed page. wait for these and rarely
search out that which is not presented
In this fashion. 80 it Is that even
most worthy religious attd philanthro—
pic enterprises must, in some striking
way. be brought to the attention of
the community, or they have scant at.
tentlbn, if noticed at all by the great
majority.
Facing these facts, and grappling
with the situation with practical wis-
dom. the enterprise on behalf of the
Norwalk Hospital was inaugurated. To
carry out the scheme of the “hold up".
Is it Is called. is putting a great at
on the courageous dcvotion of n I go
number of our most refined and high
ly esteemed women. and necessitates
a sacrifice of time and strength and
ucrsonnl Inclination which only thoac
who have helped In similar endeavors
can fully appreciate.
The grouping of scores of the finest
girls and young women of the town in
little companies here and there. each
chaperoned by one of the elect. ladies
if the committee having the work in
marge. and all in the garb that be
tokens their mission for the day. will
be a moat. striking and winsome appeal
to that spirit of chivalry. yet a force
to be reckoned with in the lives of
men. While the noble charity they
represent. with Its history of healing
Ind comfort brought Into thousands of
lives. and its promise of even a wiser
and wider ministry in the days to
zome. will surely speak to every one
ippealed to on the coming Saturday.
inrely all the people will find it hard
0 resist the appeal of the “little sis-
ters of the suffering" who will ask
rifts In support of the hospital. and
the thoughtful will find it still harder
to say "No" to the ministry of healing
which. through these bright raced
girls. is making its appeal to the peo-
ple of the comtnunity. ‘
OBSERVER.
Should Help Along the Cause.
Editor of The Sentinel:
As one of the chaperons for the
"Hospital hold up" on Saturday of this
week i should like a few lines of space
In which to comment on a letter from
"Fairvlew" published In The Sentinel
for Tuesday.
It may. perhaps, be well to call the
tttention of “Fairvlew” to the fact
that the women of whom he speaks as
“looking refinement, delicacy and gen-
tleness" are the women who are giv-
ing gladly of their strength. energy
and service for a cause which has
helped and will help hundreds and
hundreds of his own follow-townsmen
in times when human beings most
need help.
It would be well. possibly. for “Fair.
view" to reflect that the women of
whom he speaks as “brazen. shameless
female beggars," are the women who
are the wives and daughters of a very
large portion of the community in
which he. himself. presumably has
chosen to live. .
. We would also suggest that a more
"awful sight." than that of which he
speaks is the sight of one who, behind
a nom de plume, violently attacks
women who are endeavorlng warmly
and to the best of their ability to help
a noble cause.
“Fairview” is surely one who “cut
of good still finds means of evil."
As applicable to his case the follow-
ing lines come to mind. In,.an old
Hindoo fable called ."The Ignorant
Physician." we find
"He that plants thorns must never ex-
pect to gather roses.” and I
"For himself doth a man work evil
In' working evil for others."

hiding under the conspicuously Inap-

would be unworthy of notice were It
not for the fact, that a vicious attack
upon the women of Norwaik has been
.nadc. \
Certainly It Is not surprising that
one who would regard the ladies of the
community in which ho. presunmbly.
chooses to live as “A lot. of gracelcsa
female beggars who have lost. gentle-
ness and delicacy of character. who
lack refinement and grace In their ac-
tion and bearing"-—ccrtninly It is not
surprising that such a one should be
opposed to a charitable institution.
The ladies of Norwalk are generous
iy giving their time and strength to
aid a worthy cause. which needs no
defense against one so evidently full of
“envy. hatred. malice, and all unchar-
itablcness." They should by all codes
of honor and decency [to Hital‘l'd such

they hold the writer of the letter sign-

which they will extend to the ladies
on October 3. is not to be doubted.
