EMPORIUM, PA.. THURSDAY. JUNE 2, 1910
The Hospital Question.
Emporium, Pa., May 27, 1910
tCdltor P'rta:
MY DEAR SIR:—
Appropoa to the matter of a hospital
in Emporium, which is being various
ly discussed through the town, I wish
to present the following through the
columns of your paper:—There is a dif
ference between a "kicker" and a
"knocker." The former is one who
protests, and he serves by putting on
the brakes, and helping to bring us to
a more conservative mental attitude. A '
"kicker" is needed in every comma-1
nity, to either wake up people oncer- J
tain things, or to off-set the influence
of the over-zealoua reformer or pro
moter. On the other hand there is no
place for a "knocker." He is a public
nuisance, and is as universally despis
ed as are the dandelions on our lawns.
This little write-up concerning a hos
pital in Emporium was suggested by
the following "scrap" of a conversa
tion accidentally over-heard on the
street:
"Well if anything happens to any
one, they send him away anyhow."
"Yes, I admit; but that is becauso
the people have the hospital idea."
"Well, if we had a hospital here the
doctors in this town could't take care !
of the cases sent there."
This brief dialogue demonstrates one
of the parties to be a "knocker" and
the other a conservator. The "knock
er's" remarks 1 wish to resent. The
conservator's remark is unfortunately '
too true. The doctors of this town are
fully as com]>etent as those of any
town in the State. They have per
formed about all the surgical opera
tions to be performed outside of those
rare ones requiring the especial skill of
the specialist. These various operations
have been done in a quiet, dignified
manner in the homes of the patients, |
amljwithout ostentation, blare of trum- I
peta, or prattle of tongues. What is
more, they have beeu successful, not
in the sense that the operation was
completed, but in that the patient re
covered, and was restored to normal
health. There haa been no greater death ,
rate attending them any of than in any
of the best hospitals. They have also
cared for patients, after their return
home, who had been operated on by
■peclaiisU, and carried theui sifely
through their dangers, back to health.
For general sicknens, the doctors of
this community can challenge the pro
duction of better results from any- I
where, than have followed their efforts
In all cates the doctors' faith has been
that their work would s|>«ak for itself
This is often a wise policy. Some i
times, however, a mistaken one. Si
lence is often misconstrued to the det
riuieut of the oue uuder discussion
There is a time Ui speak, and a time lo
refraiu from speaking, "says Holy
Writ" The two wen conducting the
eon versa! ion above referred to are in |
flueiitial men in the community, and
It «eemed to the writer to be "a time to
speak" If the "knocker" lu this mm
versatloii represented the thought of
the eouitnuuily, it la a misrepresent*
UOII needing correction, .mil the argu
incut for With holding support U> a
hospital for such reasou Is a fallacious
one, ami should lie summarily dtsmtaa
ed. Il Is surprising that auy one, who
Is supposed to think fairly, should
otter such au argument, ami more so
that Us should wittingly make such a
statement.
There can he nu doubt that the In
•dilution uf a hospital iu a well organi
sed community of snfteleut else would
many times be a desirable conven
ience. There are often individuals in
a place, away from their homes, who,
wheu taken sick or being injured have
no place to which they can be taken
and cared for otherthan their boarding
place and are not always able there to
obtain proper nursing and care. To
such, the hospital would not only be a
convenience, but a blessing. Even to
those who have homes in the commu
nity, it would sometimes be a case that
care, attention and treatment could be
better and more cheaply obtained in
the hospital than in their own home
That a hospital would be a conveni
ence and benefit to the doctors of a
pli.ee is not a fact. A short time ago a
doctor from a neighboring town told
the writer that, since the establish
ment of a hospital in their county, he
did three times as much work as be
fore bat made less money.
It has become a notorious fact that
many persons in the vicinity of every
hospital, who are well able to pay for
medical attendance, will, in spite of
the most watchful care of its mana
gers, seek, and obtain free treatment
and free medicine. Persons, who, in
everything else would disdain doing
an unworthy or unmanly act, and scorn
to be ciansed as a' 'beat," seem to think
that such action towards a hospital is
perfectly legitimate and unquestion
able.
No pernon in our community would
be more pleased to have a hospital
here for the accomodation of those who
really need one than the writer, nor
would any one take more pride In a
well equipped institution of this char
acter, and, if the circumstances and
conditions are ripe for its establish
ment, no one would be more willing,
according to ability, to lend a helping
hand than he. It is, however, well to
"look before we leap." The struggles
and trials incident to the establishment
of the Williamsport hospital, some
years ago, a city of then 12,000 inhabi
tants, are still fresh in the memories of
those familiar with its history. There
was a constant and never ceasing call
for help, and there were frequent
times when the nurses and patients
did not have sufficient food of proper
•piality to support them iu their work,
or to renew their bodily vigor during
Convalescnce. Those unfamiliar with
the details of the maintenance of an in
stitution of this kind can hardly form
au adequate estimate of the amount of
expense connected therewith. There
Is a call for money at every turn.
Since it was difficult to secure pro
per support in a city of 12,000 Inhabi
tants what ought we to expect in a
towu the sue of ours? This should be
well considered,
There la a disposition on the part of
those in authority at Harriaburg to re
duce the State appropriation to small
liintitutious of thia kiud, and in some
Instances it haa been with held entire
ly. The support from this itource is al
waya uncertain, aud should not be too
much relied upon, It la rare for mu
nicipal hoapltala to be self supporting
even In the most favorable localities
If our people are able, ready and
willing to reepoud liberally to the Ire
quent calls fur money aud supplies that
will be made upon them, and If there
should he a sufficient amount of money
pledged conditionally by reliable par
ties to aupply all deficiencies In lis
adiquale support, alter It lias beeu
built and equipped, before finally de
let mining Iu proceed with the pro
ject, then we want a hospital, Other
wise we would lie compelled to suiter
the iguomiuiy of defeated purpose, ami
the opprobrium of obtaining an in
stition of a magnitude beyond our
ability to maintain.
So far as the doctors of the town are
concerned, I warrant they will here,
as they always have done, do their
duty faitbfUlly and well.
Respectfully,
R. P. HEILMAN, M. D.
Primary Election
Officers.
The attention of the Uniform
Primaries election officers is called
to the fact that they cannot give,
to any voter, a ballot of the oppo
site party unless he swears "that at
i the last preceeding election he vot
ed for a majority of the candidates
of the party he calls for a ballot
of." Thus it will be seen that the
weak candidate cannot be voted
for by the voter who does not in
tend to support that person at the
general election. Both political
parties should see to it that this
law is enforced and stop the abuse
of the law. The attention of
every Republican committman is
called to this notice.
Farewell Reception.
The Vestry of Emmanuel Episcopal
Church tendered a farewell reception
