Roosevelt Reelected In
Political Landslide
Sweeps Country With SIG
Electoral Votes---Mary-
land Goes Along

Franklin d. Roosevelt was reflect
ed Tuesday in landslide that swept
the country from coast to coast and
promises him the greatest electoral
majority ever given a candidate for
! the Presidency.
Only three out of the forty-eight
States seemed safely Republican at
an early hour. They were the three
New England States of Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont.
In the other forty-five the Presir
dent had growing majorities, rang
ing from meager 1900 in Kansas,
the home State of his opponent, to
100000 or better, in Illinois, with
that of New York swelling hourly
toward new record.
Incomplete returns on Wednesday
morning indicated that Roosevelt
would have SIG electoral votes, with
only twelve for Landon.
The returns also indicated that the
Republicans had probably increased
their membership in the House by
winning 1875 of the 435 members in
that legislative body.
Incomplete returns showed Re-
publicans on the way to capture
three Senate seats formerly occupied
by Democrats, while Democrats were
about to lay hold of an equal num-
Der formerly held by Republicans.
The indicated Republican gains
were in Massachusetts, Iowa and
South Dakota. The possible Demo-
cratic inroads were in New Jersey.
Delaware and Michigan.
With lead of more than 10000
in all but two Of the Baltimore city
precincts, and the tide running
strongly in his direction in the first
substantial county returns, it appear
ed that the Presidents final margins
of victory in the State would eclipse
by many thousands the 130,130-vote
landslide that gave him Maryland in
1882.
The vote in the First Congressional
District indicated the election Of T.
Alan Goldsborough, Democrat, over
his Republican opponent, o. Stra-
|ughn Lloyd.

Difficult To Raise

The suggestion that the new An
napolis- Baltimore Boulevard be nam
ed the Richie Memorial Highway
has been made by George E. Cannon,
.Jr. a clerk in the office of William 5.
Gordy, Jr., State Comptroller.
1T is no secret that the Albert c.
Richie Memorial Commission has
met with little success in its efforts
to raise funds for the erection or es-
Enlistment of memorial or me-
MORALS to the late Hon. Albert Z.
Richie" Cannon said. ut would
be a disgrace to the people of the
State to let the efforts of&this truly
great man to be in no way commem-
Grated.
within the next four months, the
new Annapolis Boulevard will be
completed, and I think it singularly
appropriate that this boulevard be
named the Richie Memorial High
way. 1t was over this route that the
four-times Governor and one-time
Attorney General passed most often
while serving the people of Maryland
so faithfully.
1T is with pleasure that | submit
this suggestion to the Albert c.
Richie Memorial Commission and to
the General Assembly of 1887"

RESPONSIBILITY rs
AN ASSET TO YOUTH
Speaker Says Young Peo-
pie Should Seek, Rather
Than Avoid 1t.

Every person, regardless OF his Or her
station in life, is never free of RESPONSE
bility, S. M. Funk, principal of Column
bit Business College, told his students in
an address, yesterday. Mr.. Funk's ad-
dress follows:
eve are by nature responsible crea-
lures. We can not live a successful life
unless we assume responsibility. Al
young man or young woman, who does
not understand his or her mission to be
responsible person, is of very little
service in the world. We want to con-
slider responsibility, and it will be well
for us to have a thorough understanding
of which we are talking about, so 1 am
bringing a statement to you from Pro
fessOr Hodge, in which he says: ITO be
morally responsible, a man must be a
free, rational, moral agent. First, he
must be in present possession of his rea-
son to distinguish truth from falsehood.
Secondly, he must also have in exercise
moral sense to distinguish right from
wrong. Thirdly, his will in it's volitions
or executive acts must be self-decided,
that, determined by it's own spontaneous
affections and desires. If any of these
are wanting, the man is insane and nei-
Their free nor responsible This gives
us a very good idea of what is expected
of us as rational, moral beings, free to
act at our will. If you want to study
the subject of responsibility, these state
ments from Professor Hodge are helpful
Students to very great extent treat re-
sponsibility paradoxically they seek it
and shun it; love it and hate it. request
to be excused from it and become most
indignant when it is taken from them
they are elated when they can impose
it on others, but rebel when others i'm
pose it on them. How many of you
have treated responsibility paradoxical-
ly? Have you Stunned it and then com
planned because it has not been given
to you! Have you been inclined to feel
that you want to assume a responsible
lty and then spurned it when it comes
TO you? Some people go far enough to
Shlrk instead of assume responsibility
they painstakingly plan and devise
schemes to avoid it. To be successful,
students must have responsibility put
upon them; they must assume it, carry
1t until such time as it can be fully
and skillfully discharged Yet how many
students shirk responsibility in the prep
aration of assignments. They search to
md a way to keep from living up to
which is expected of them We cannot
play the role of sane individuals until
we are willing to assume responsibility.
when there is no responsibility, there
can be no industry, no purpose, no OPP
portunity. no success. We are by nature
