That service has reflected the person

advancement of private interest at the

Pickering. which forced the dissolution
of the Pickering George K. Fitch inter-

BRINGS FIGHTING QUALITIES
Mr. Spreckels was represented at that
sale by Charles M. Shortridge, who
managed the property for Mr.. Spreckels
until August 1s, 1897, when Mr.. John
d. Spreckels acquired it from his father.
To The Call Mr.. Spreckels brought an
intense personal interest and the fight
ing qualities that had made him the
dominant factor In the so called milk
and sugar'' convention. in which he
freed San Francisco from the control
of Bosses Higgins and Cannon.
To the men and women employed by
The Call Mr.. spreokels' declaration Of
his newspaper policies was Characters
tically terse-direct. He told them he
wanted to make q newspaper that
should be fair to all men, broad and

COMMANDING PLACE AS EDITOR
In the history of Journalism In this
country Mr. M H. de Young occupies
a commanding position. Although he
is still in the prime of life he is, with
Henry Watterson, and General H G.
Otis Of Los Angeles, the last of the
great editors-of the men who created
their newspapers themselves and from
the least of beginnings have built up
great and powerful engines of public
opinion which make and mold the char
acter of communities and move and
sway the destinies of states.

thereon, and in many ways dominated

Under their shadow there grew up
with the increase of population of the

century, and when the gates of the
great international exposition, with
which his name is identified as vice
president. are thrown open, 1t will be
full half century since the name of

the growth and upbuilding of this mo-

steady effort has been directed to the
material and intellectual upbuilding of
San Francisco and the state Of Cali

Like all men of great force of char

over SO great a period of time, Mr. de
Young has come into conflict with, and

forced to admit that whether seemingly
right or wrong at the time, the sum

Chronicle has been splendid help in
and contribution to the upbuilding OF
this city and state.
There Is no man now alive who has
been SO conspicuous for so many years
in the continuous practice of his pro-
fession as Mr.. de Young. not even Col
