Row IN Attempt to Win
Coolidge Membership
n Recommendation News Service

George Il. Cain, OF Lynn. Mass.
resigned today as vice president OF
the chusetts Society OF Wash
tn,Qfofl and chairman OF It's enter
taInnlent committee, following his
afIure to enroll President and Mrs.
Coolidge as members.
The sensational turn caused BY
Cams sudden resignat ton has split
the society into q pair of warning
camps.
Row Over Coolidge.
The row began at q meeting last
Friday night when Cain announced
that he would soon have the Pregt-
dent ana Mrs, Coolidge az members
and would present them with gold
membership cards. An anti-Cain
member asked IL the President was
the kind OF "a man who would take
Cain to his bosom after receiving
a hot letter from Cain denouncing
him for his failure to take part In
the recent Massachusetts tree plant
ing exercises At the Lincoln Me-
mortal Reservation.
Expenses of that. affair, run by
Cain, are estimated to have over
run the receipts by $500 at least.
Cain got the Massachusetts mayors
who came here as guests Of the
society to contribute $3.50 toward
the deficit. Lieutenant Governor
Fuller is said to have been one OF
the contributors.
Investigation Ordered.
Congressman Dallinger of Massa-
chusetts, president of the society,
ordered an Investigation of the H.
nances and asked the secretary of
the Bay State Mayors Club to hold
the $3.50 for the present. Cain
made an attack upon Dallinger and
at the meeting offered a resolution
denouncing him. He subsequently
altered his resolution to request
upon Dallinger to inform the SO.

contributed. That motion was
adopted. An attempt OF the anti.
Cain members to include an amend

tirement OF an officer who has

society, whose future success ad.

A BIT OF lNTRoSPECTIoN

Augusta has been much favored by
nature and circumstance and if she
occasionally takes an inventory to
learn whether she is living up to her
surroundings she need not be thought
vainglorious in SO doing. On the
contrary she may be supposed to be
in a somewhat mcdtativcly religious
mood, her mind possibly rejecting
upon matters referred to in II
Corinthians, about the spirit giving
life, for really the spirit of those
who make up a community is worthy
OF meditation.
Augusta, VIC believe, is fortunate in
her out-of town friends as well as
in her scenery, fortunate that they
like TO come here and appear in many
instances reluctant to leave. AS
Stunning this to be so-and there is
good evidence that it is--it surely
isn't wholly because we have here a
beautiful river, hills which offer am
pie reward to the climbers, views
that entrance, tonic in the air and
sparkling waters. and all that. To
accept that conclusion would be to
leave out the folks the impressions
they make upon those who learn to
know them-not the briefest mag
Unable lesson, by the way.
Here is where that which pertains
TO the spirit enters into the COM
putaton Unfortunately--it might
as well be admitted-the full meas
ure of that spirit is not comprehend

at first. Such knowledge comes from
longer acquaintance, the longer the
better. There is some advantage.

represent substantial investment.
which is preferable. Closer ac-
quaintance reveals the spirit, earnest
and strong in what concerns Augusta,
though this may not at first appear.
1t is revealed when there is some
thing really wanting to be done. 1t
is then surprises occur, to the casual
observers. They see those, whom

ample is not overlooked by those
coming after, the leading citizens to
be. 1t is we'll that it is So and why
not acknowledge it?
