At the eleventh hour of the 11th
day of the 11th month of 1918, the
guns fell silent along the western
front. The World War was over.
Loving and reverent memory of the
millions who had fallen before that
11th hour has caused the world evet
since to mark the day.
President Roosevelt in Washington
Monday revealed the fact that his
i>crsonal prediction on the outcome of
Ihe election was wrong by 109 elec-
torial votes. Previous to the election
the President predicted that he woul
be elected by a vote of 349, hut the
outcome was 449 Votes.
That readers of one Georgia dai
ly with a creditable coverage in this
section may get the real facts as to
the popular vote received by Presi
dent Roosevelt and Mr. Willkie we
nre publishing below their votes to
gether with the popular votes Roose
velt and Hoover in 1932 and Roose
velt and Landon in 1906. The paper
referred to gives us a pain in the
neck in its flagrant attempt to mag
nify the popularity of Mr. Wiiikie
and minimize that of the President
The popular votes as shown on best
authority shows the results of the
national campaign as follows: Roose
velt's popular vote in 1932 was 22-
821 8,7; Hoover's was 15,761,841.
Roosevelt's popular vote in 1936 was
24 936 134; Landon, 16 533 410. Roose
velt's popular vote in 1940 was 25-
874 912; Willkie, 21 616 481. From
the above figures it will be seen that
the President's vote has increased
largely with each of his three elec
tions with a slight increase for the
Republican candidate in the three
elections ,

Another proof that W. C. Tucker's
column In the Columbus Enquirer is
read and appreciated by the public
but in choosing “pinch-hitters” he
selects only the best. Tucker says:
Solicitor General Hubert Calhoun's
guest column of last Monday made
such a deep impression of Charlie
Benns Sr. editor of the Butler Her
ald that he reproduced it in full in his
paper this week. Hubert had some
interesting things to say about the
small town in his article that ap
pear in his column.”
There were indications in Wash
ington yesterday, according to the
Columbus Enquirer, that Senator
Walter F. George, of Georgia, would
be named to the important post of
chairman of the foreign relations
committee of the upper house of con
gress to succeed Senator Key Pitt
man, of Nevada, who died Sunday.
Sen. Pittman's death created a va
cancy in the chairmanship of the
committee that acts on measures re
lating to foreign policy, and Senator
George ranks high among the demo
cratic members of the group.
“A group of fox hunters was en
joying the yelping pack and with
shrill voices urging the dogs to the
chase. Each hunter was listening for
the voice of his own dog to see if he
were in the lead. They met a native
coming up the road. After passing
the usual greetings, one of the hunts
men said to the stranger, ‘Just lis
ten to that music.' The laconic reply
was, “I can't hear a thing for those
pesky dogs.” He had no appreciation
for fine dogs and therefore their
barking in the chase was not music
to him.
“It is the human relations where
appreciation pays off the best. If you
wish to make a lasting friend of a
person, pick out the fine qualities of
his life and tell hi m about them.And
after all, it costs so little to speak
the kindly word, to write the letter
or send the message.
“Dale Carnegie says that people
crave appreciation and approbation
almost as much as they do food. Yet
people let their family and their
friends go for days, weeks and oftonr
for years without giving the hearty
approbation they deserve and for
which they so much yearn. A great
steel corporation paid Charles
Schwab a million dollars a year for
his sen-ices, not because of his
knowledge of steel but for his genius
in dealing with people. When asked
how he managed to get along so well
with people he said, ‘I am anxious to
praise. I am loath to find fault. If 1
like a thing I am hearty in my ap
probation. I am lavish with my
praise.’ Listen to the sob of a man's
broken heart as he tries to explain
his broken home. ‘I was not appre
ciated.’ Find the prodigal away
from home and ask him why he is
not at home. ‘I was never appre
ciated’ he will likely tell you. Of
course there is the other side. It may
be that the fellow who thinks he is
not appreciated may be woefully
lacking in appreciation himself. It is
c-asy to forget that it is a game two
must play.
“Someone has said that what you
appreciate and enjoy belongs to you
whether you pay taxes on it or not.
It is a chalenge, for there is much in
the world to enjoy and many of us
have titles to very few of the best
things in the world. A few weeks ago
my children and I were standing on
Point Lookout overlooking the Ten
nessee valley and the Moccasin bend
on the Tennessee river. We laid no
claim to the actual value of that
vast stretch of beautiful valley in
cluding the recently completed Chick-
amauga dam, but we felt that it was
ours because we appreciated and en-
oyed it. And it is so, the towering
mountains, the rolling plains the
turbulent sea, the sunset in crimson
and gold, the song of the bird, the
laughter of little children, and even
heaven itself—they are all yours if
you can appreciate and enjoy them.
We understand that whatever of
