RAGUSA-A COMING STORM
CENTER

Ragusa is an instance of splendor
fled and fame forgotten, says a state
merit issued by the National Geogra-
phic society, dealing with the dual
monarchy's advanced Mediterranean
base, a place that must win a new
significance in an Hungarian
Italian struggle for control of the Ad-
ratio sea. The little port city, situ-
ated near the southern tip of Dalma-
tia, among the earliest detectives Of
unsuccessful Montenegro invasion,
was once one of the richest cities of
Europe, almost the Hamburg or New
York Of the world of the middle ages.
In the days OF its prosperity its ships
were found wherever Europe traded,
and its merchants held accounts to
the uttermost ends of the earth famil-
lar to the west.
But the glories of Ragusa faded
coming from the war zone StirS no
memory, and awakens no interest in
the minds of the people of this country
very few of them have ever had oc-
caSion even to know its name. Yet
RaguSa was brave, a wealthy, a per-
sistent little republic through many

the American continents. Like our
great republic Ragusa was an asylum
for exiles of whatever nation, faith or
politics. 1t was democratic in its toll

politics or policies.
"Ragusa-or, as it is often called
Little Venice-was, in many ways, a
model republic, though a miniature. In
the time of its highest splendor it did
not possess more than 500 square
miles of area; but it endured through
all manner of bitter trials; produced
energetic, prosperous citizens through
centuries; maintained a stable and a
! wise government in ages when the
country all around it was in frantic
passionate unrest, and was as willing
ly the haven of the oppressed as is the
United States today And, like the
later republic. the United States. the
foreign policy of Ragusa was always
a peaceful one; the enlightened little
state, wherever possible, submitting its

however, Ragusa well knew how to
defend its interests. where the course
of war was necessary one. Ragusar
armies and Ragusan ships nobly pre-,
served their country in the midst o.
jealous, powerful enemies. But Ra
gusan diplomacy did more; it pre-.

towering conquerers.

noble was the nucleus of this famous

The Parable OF The Sewer.
Luke VIII, AIS.

And when much people were
gathered together and were come
to Him out of every city, He
spake by parable:
A sower went out to SOW his
seed; and as he sowed, some
fell by the wayside; and it was
trodden down, and the fowls Of
the air devoured it.
And some fell upon a rock;
and as soon as it was sprung up
it withered away, because it lack
ed moisture.
And some fgll among thorns;
and the thorns sprang up with it,
and choked it.
And other fell on good ground
and sprang up and bare fruit a
hundredfold. And when He had
said these things, He cried, He
that hatH ears to hear, let him
hear.
And His disciples asked Him,
saying. What might this parable
be?
And He said, Unto you it is
given to know the mysteries of
the kingdom of God; but to
Others in parallels; that seeing
they might not see, and hearing
they might not understand.
Now the parable is this: The
seed is the word of God.
Those by the wayside are they
that hear; then cometh the devil
and taketh away the word out of
their hearts, lest they should be-
lieve and be saved.
They on the rock are they,
which, when they hear, receive
the word with JOY; and these
have no root, which for a while
believe, and in time of tempta-
ton fall away.
And that which fell among
thorns are they, which, when
they have heard, go forth. and
are choked with cares and riches
and pleasures of this life, and
bring no fruit to perfection.
But that on the good ground
are they, which in an honest and
good heart, having heard the
word, keep it, and bring forth
fruit with patience

south European city. Before the ava
lanche Of barbarian invasion-Avar
hordes, according to most authorities
refugees from neighboring Latin
communities fed to the mobiles strong
hold and took refuge under the Sha-
dow of its walls. These refugees
brought and conserved the technique
and civilization of Greece and Rome,
around the castle, well-builded and
thoroughly fortified. Ragusa is men
toned in the seventh century.
"A colony of Slavonian people Join
ed the Latins, and greatly added to the
citys power for resisting the enroach-
mentS of its hostile neighbors Saracen
Bulgarian. Bosnian, Venetian. Hun

war with the little state. which, in
some cases, beat off its enemies, and,
in Others, was forced to acknowledge
certain dependency. 1t never wholly
surrendered its republican Self-govern-
ment, however, though Constantinople
Venice, Hungary, Bosnia, and Servia
were at various times, recognized to
degrees as overlords.
"Ragusa today the gem city of the
Medlterranean'-is an inconsequential
seaport in the Austrian crownland of
Dalmatia. Every line of the quaint
little city is a monument to the impor-
lance and power that are flown. 1t
is medieval town, still walled in by
heavy masonry, and still lowered. Ra-
gusa is tioored with the haggings of
the Middle Ages. Its homes and
buildings are ancient structures, and
over all is Renaissance.
The town is erected on a rocky
ridge that juts out into the Adriatic
sea. Its harbor is small and ill-ad-
aptcd to the needs Of modern com
merce, and the heavier vessels that
visit here anchor at Gravosa, twin
city, situated on a deep, sheltered bay,
across the promontory. Mostar, cap
ital of herzegovina, is so miles to the
north-northwest
"Ragusa is fortified port, and an
outlying naval base. 1t still has some
transit trade with the interior. and its
industries include the output of liq-
ueur, oil. silk and leather products.
For short time during the Napo-
leonic wars, it gave promise of re-
gaining somewhat of its old prosper
ity. In 1914, its independent career
was definitely ended, and it was an
nexed to Austria. The city is chiefly

by example democracy, tolerance, and
peaceful enterprise, until, at the be-
ginning of the 19the century with
the beginnings of two mighty repub-
lies, the United States and France, the
tiny beacon was no longer needed,
and it was silently extinguished"

AS for myself, hold that the
governor has not the right under the
constitution to veto appropriation
items in part. He may veto whole
appropriations and he may cut whole
items out of an appropriation bill;
but, in my judgment, he has not the
power to reduce or increase specific
items.
There can be no confusion in the
matter; no conflict of authority. If
the governor lnsists,it will be neces-
Sary only to get a ruling of the court
on the point at issue and that will
settle it for all time. There is no
politics in this; there is no desire to
cause confusion 1t is simply qucs-
ton of law, pure and simple"
There are two common ways of
getting the matter before the supreme
court, The state auditor might re-
fuse to issue a warrant after the
amounts specified by the governor are
exhausted. This would compel the
King Hill, the Gem District or others
affected to petition the court for a
writ of mandate to compel the auditor
to issue the warrant. Under the other
method the governor might petition
the court for a writ of injunction
against the auditor to prohibit the
issue of the warrant.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
the point will be settled by a ruling
OF the court within the year, and it
is needless to say that the outcome
VIII be awaited with keen interest.

Some Of the recommendations follow:
The abolition of all minor sport con-

minor sports as are clearly not suited

by an unusual amount of effort. This
refers especially to those sports where

THE reduction to a ninimum of time

trated by the annual journey to Atlantic
