THE OLD HOME TOWN By Stanley ' Best way to keep ahead of the game is to keep away from it. It is too much to expect that a man will register much enthusiasm after having had experience with a dull thud. . .Of all the serial stories still running, the hardest by fan. to keep track of is the changing Chinese political sit uation, - ' VETOING THE ARMORY . Governor Pierce has vetoed the bill providing an ap propriation for the long-desired La Grande armory. By doing so the Governor has started some criticism of his decision here where the armory problem is so familiar to everyone but lie has also been very favorably commended by others over the state who have not bothered themselves about La Grande's selfish interests in this particular case. The facts of the matter are that everybody in La iGrande is disappointed in tho veto of the armory bill bo calise they know how great the need is in Eastern Oregon for training facilities of this kind, and they know how ini iportant a guard organization is to a state. Hut they alsj appreciate tho fact that Governor Pierce couldn't very well ido anything else than veto the armory bill regardless of how much he might want to do something for La Grande and Eastern Oregon personally, lie either had to veto the bill or invent some elaborate excuse for signing it that M'dtlld make it appear as a state economy and a revenue producer rather than an expense and that's a job that most governors wouldn't care to tackle. i It's too bud, in this particular instance, that the Gov ernor's announced and heavily emphasized policy has been one of opposition to any measure that appropriates state funds when those funds are not available or when expendi ture of those funds would lie, in tho Governor's mind, un necessary. But that has been his policy and to sign the arinory bill :t this lime would bo to admit that the atti tude he h.'.-- evpii :! d so I'orcefulfy at limes applies only lo the lest I'l' Hio.fin, Hint La Grande and the Governor's home valley are exempt and deserve special treatment. We are sorry that the Governor felt this way about it and we are sorry that he couldn't or didn't find some loop hole through which he might craw! for the sake of filling a crying need hen; in Eastern Oregon. But we can't blame him, alter all, for his veto; and no fair-mindi-d citizen of La Grande who respects any man who adopts a policy and sticks to it regardless of consequences will hold a permanent "peeve" against the chief executive. Next time, possibly he'll be able to do his bit. rt Jl .J fwEu.aoBAK I HOLD fc 1 ' I S 1"! I t ANOwO. SOOI 1 I NEWT SMfcS ' LV- I . l 1 ' .

When the u p 1 1 ea vn I came on Nov. 0. I !t I S.

Ho whs In offlco only 36 hours, being forced out when con trol of tho government was taken ovor by tho people's commission ers. It was Kbert, It was said, who by skillful maneuvers at that time, prevented the radicals from gaining, tho upper hand In tho turmoil created by the revolution. A few weeks later Kbert be- cumu one or the six commissaries who arranged for the first meet ing of tho Gfrmun National As sembly at Welmar'to form a pro visional government of tho repub lic. On Feb. 11, iai.9, he was lected provisional president, re ceiving 277 out of -the 379 votes cast in the assembly. The consti tution adopted by the National Assembly provided that the ex ecutive power lies with the peo ple." : ' The provisional government functioned until August 23.. when Kbert took tho oath asjmperlul president and two days Tutor the National Assembly .ceased to exist. being superceded by, the new relchstag. Vp0n taking the oath lTcsiuent Kbert said: "Tho es sence of our constitution shall; above ull, bo freedom, but free dom must have law. This you have now established. We will jointly hold it. It will give us strength to testify for the new vital principle of the German na tion, freedom and right." During the first few months of the provisional government Its foundation was threatened by the crisis which arose over the ques tion of signing the the peace treaty. President Kbert und his first' premier, Phllipp Hcheidemann were opposed to yielding to tho demands of tho allies. With no other course left but to accept, K heldemunn and his cabinet re s:gned and u pro-treaty government wa formed, which included some . of the ministers of the previous! cabinet. The new government, while denouncing the: terms of the treaty, decided to accept it and in July. 1 II 1 n. President Kbert signed the bill ratifying the treaty. With this phase of the treaty crisis over the Kbert government was confronted with tho problem of getting delJ'gutos to go to Purls and shoulder the responsibility of signing the treaty. These were ob tained after many declined what they regarded us un empty honor, because the opinion was practic ally unanimous In Germany thut the terms of tho treaty were un just and sought to disrupt Ger many us a nation. Internal troubles were bobbing up nearly every day In all parts of the country but President Kbert vigorously opposed the -varied movement of Hpurtleists und Com munists. Ho handled his difficult job so well I hat when 11 came time for the scheduled presidential elec tion in l!Hi2 he was requested by a coalition of several parties to re main In office nut H June, 105. which he agreed lo do.
