COL. JEROME H. JOYCE. 'Speecbmaking, continued talk without action and the spirit of Mlet's refer this to a committee” is at present in disfavor in Baltimore, and one of those who have contributed' much to bring about this sentiment is Col. Jerome H. Joyce.Men who will lay aside all of their personal affairs, who will work from morning until midnight, who will spend their own money freely without hope of comption, who will brave the petty defeats anddisappointments of managing great public events are not found in every block in Baltimore, but the city can be truly thankful that those who are here number among them Colonel Joyce.Starting In 1894 when the great reception was given tlt;f the old Oriole team when Itfirst Won the championship of the National League, Colonel Joyce has always been ready to serve his city in«the management of those affairs which contribute to the enjoyment and therefore to the happiness of the population of Baltimore as a whole.In the Jubilee, the Old-Home Week and the Prosperity Convention, Colonel Joycewas a leader who talked little but accomplished much. The aviation meet of November, 1910, Is still fresh In the minds of his fellow-cltizens, and they have not forgotten how, when the hangars were flat on the field of Halethorpe, beneath a anow-storm, and practically everyone was saying that the aviation meet was ended, Colonel Joyce, taking the chance of losing his own money as well as that of a few faithful followers, jammed that meet through to a success which was Impossible without him.When the safe and sane Fourth of July parade was suggested by The Sun Colonel, Joyce was the unanimous choice as chairman of this event. Those who knew the arduous duties to be performed, the Infinite tact of securing co-operation and, most of all, the great difficulty of raising money said- that Colonel Joyce was the one man who could do the job. Joyce did not make a single speech. He went ahead and did what was asked of him.Men like Robert Crain, who can raise $100,(XX), and Jerome H. Joyce, who can rally around him such a wonderful demonstration as the Fourth of July pageant, are the kind of men Baltimore can well he proud to have as citizens; they are In every sense good citizens, for a greater number of whom Baltimore should ardentlypray
