San Diego Lodge Lauds
Capitalist for Work
in Building City

On the sixtieth anniversary of his
birth John D. Spreckels was presented
by his brethren Of the Scottish Rite
Masons of san Diego with diamond
emblem of the thirty-third degree of
the fraternity as a token of the ap-
probation in which he is held for his
efforts In behalf of their prosperity and
happiness.
Accompanying the jewel was a letter
conveying the sincere wishes OF the
members, couched in terms OF anec-
tion for Mr.. Spreckels.
: Mr.. Spreckels is looked upon in San
Diego as its greatest citizen not only
by those who are associated with him
In the mystic ties of Masonry, but the
people generally.
He has attained this standing be-
cause Of his faith in the city and Its
of 1t q metropolis; because he Is con-
f.dent it is the ideal spot not only Of
California. but of the world.
To assist San Diego in attaining a
pre- eminent position he has not scru-
pied to lavish his means IN following
the constructive policies that have
marked his career. Always a Arm be-
liever In upbuilding, as the people Of
many sections of this state will cheer
tent unless the money he had had at
his command was employed doing
something for the betterment of the
condition of others.
Mr.. Spreckeis always has adhered to
the thought that the dollar was made
to work, and to that end he has never
been a hoarder OF wealth, but man
who has used 1t in fostering enterprises
Of merit and standing.
To him more than any other man San
Diego owes its present prosperity, for
whenever means were required for the
cftys advancement his purse has al
ways been open, and the majority of
its great achievements have been made
by reason of this policy.
He has assisted by the erection of
splendid buildings, getting business,
improving the city's thoroughfares,
beautifying its appearance, and when
ever a proposition for greater and bet
ter commercial or social activities has
been advanced Mr.. Spreckels has al
ways been In the forefront with his
valuable and practical suggestion, be-
lieving firmly in the place San Diego
Is to occupy among the coming large
cities.
Other cities and towns throughout
California besides San iDego have been
materially assisted by Mr.. Spreckels,
although since becoming a resident OF
San Diego his efforts have largely been

Doing a love scene in a street with

That there is light side even to such
a serious subject assaults upon Judges
is seen in the incident of the egg thrown
at the late Vice Chancellor Malens by

avoided the missile and at the same time
established an undying reputation as a

The past few years have witnessed the
