Expressions of. Sorrow.
A number of the leading organizations
of the District of Columbia. including the
Board of Trade. have adopted resolutions
expressive of the deep feeling of loss to
the community and the country that has
been sustained in the death of Mr.. Noycs.
and expressing sympathy and condolences
with the bereaved family.
The Washington Board of Trade.
through a committee, adopted the follow
ing minute:
.'The Washington Board of Trade feels
that it may with propriety voice the pub
lie sentiment of this community mourning
the death of Crosby S. Noycs. The more
private and. as it were domestic traits or
his character have been tenderiy ana HSl
temporarily traced by the hands of friend
shin and of love. As a civic body we de-
sire to put upon record the appreciation
and regard of his fellow citizens Tor ms
public services. 1t was not simply that
he loved this city Every wholesome ma
ture makes its physical surroundings
part of itself But all do not see the same
nicture and very few see the whole OF IT,
Mr. Moves looked deeper than the race
and to him this city was not merely ths
grace and the beauty and the dlsni'y "
our nation, but she was its soul. He AL
ways knew and felt that solemn and IN
spiring truth and he lived up to H.
For more than half century he anu
his paper have worked for washington
city and her citizens, and thus lot tne ma
tion. His was the wisdom that began
with the Individual He knew that he
could only reach the many through the
few: that each man must be ENLISTED IL an
army is to he gathered together Hence
he was always urgent ana neVer-.lrins IN
the advocacy and support of every meas
ure which aimed to help in any way the
individual man and woman among whonl
he lived Was ii better music. or h
cleaner drama. or higher culture, or NOR"
sniritual ideals, or purer and moro aoun-
dant food. or a free-handed and sympa-
thetic charity--for each and all OF these
he felt and wrote and did
Responsive to Children's Cry.
For his bounty. there was no winter
int Especially did his kind heart re-
spond to the cry of the children. No puo-
lie effort was ever made here for their
help that did not have his hearty SYM
pathy and support. We do not speak OK
this in its sentimental aspect, mercy.
While he felt this deeply, yet he knew
that the civic side was equally urgent. The
child is father of the man. He wanted
to build up the good citizen from the very
ground.
There is not space here to even call
to mind the many acts of his long life
which went to advance this city and her
people 1t is to be hoped that an adequate
biographical record will be made of them
But this must be said of him. for with
out it no true idea could be formed of
the man. Sympathetic. tender as he was:
yet on the suggestion even OF injustice, OF
wrong. of any attempt on the liberty OF
the people or of the press. he grew hot
with Indignation. Ordinarily yielding and
complacent. he became gnarled and stub
born as the oak Try as you might, you
could not swerve him when he stood
against what he thought was an unjust
or an illegal thing.
LAS has been said, no man realized more
completely than he the national soul or
Washington. His great gifts made him
the friend and companion OF the men
foremost in the political and social life of
this Capital city. The benefit which we
have derived from his intercourse with
them may perhaps be realized fully now
that we have lost IL.
"Acknowledging our great Indebtedness
as a community to him, appreciating his
civic virtues and, reverencing his memory.
