The occasion is the second annual ob- servance of International Golden Rule Day inaugurated in Geneva, Switzerland, last year when representatives of twen- ty-three countries in the League of Na- tions evolved a plan of bringing home to their own people the urgency of con- tinuing aid to the orphans and war re- fugees in Asia Minor. At the first Gol- den Rule Dinner observed in Geneva, the delegates partook of a duplicate of a dinner served in one of the Near East Relief orphanages in Persia. So forcefully was the admonition, "Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye even so unto them," brought home, that its spiritual effect was felt throughout the world. Each delegate recommended to his moth- er nation that a Golden Rule Day should be observed yearly. Although the United States is not a member of the League, observers from this country who attended the Geneva affair were so im- pressed that a similar observance was inaugurated in this country. The first of the Golden Rule dinners this vear was held in New York City, September 25, when 1,280 representative business men and women of the Eastern metro- polis gathered at the Hotel Roosevelt and in the magnificent dining hall ate soup, macaroni, stewed apricots and brown bread--just as did a million and a half orphans under the care of Near East Relief on that same day. Doubts U. S. Prediction Of Record Cold Winter Reports from Washington stating that "The United States is due for the heav- iest winter in years if the well known law of averages works out," are refuted by H. B. Ward of the geology and geog- raphy department of Northwestern Uni- versity who has just completed a study of temperatures and precipitations of the last several years. Mr. Ward also doubts very much, he says, that there is a "law of average" with respect to weather, asserts that the winter of 1924 "will not be controlled 'by sun-spot ac- tivity" and adds, "it is as reasonable to forecast a mild winter as a severe win- ter in 1924-25." In his analysis Mr. Ward discloses that there were radically different tem- peratures in 1920 with January persis- tently cold and February normal except as to snowfall which, with the excep- tion of 1877, was the least in fifty years. 1921, he adds, was the warmest in fifty years while, if there is a law of aver- ages, 1922 should have been very cold but as a matter of fact in the Chicago district it was warmer and drier than the average, with few severe storms. There were violent storms, extremely cold weather and heavy precipitation the win- ter of 1923-24. Recent months of 1924, Mr. Ward says, have shown an accumu- lated deficiency of temperature, at the end of September, of 741 degrees. "Many tables of statistics can be sub- mitted to prove that long-range fore- casts are not reliable," concludes the Northwestern professor. "Most certain- ly they disprove the reliability of the so- called law of averages in weather mat- ters."

Those who neglect to vote are not so good; they shirk their responsibility. As an obligation of citizenship, every man and woman of lawful age should cast a ballot Tuesday, November 4. Men and women who know American institutions vote for a party, and not for individuals. In America the party governs. For sixty-eight years either the Republican party or the Democratic party has been in power at Washington and at Springfield. Either the Republican party or the Democratic party will be in authority at Washington and at Springfield for the coming four years.
