Gregory finally succeeded in forcing baptism
the unwilling Lombards and Spanish
Virigoths, while the Brtians were left to
receive the gospel by moral suasion. The
work left by Innocent and Leo become the
heritage of Gregory.
The strife of the seventh century failed
to satisfy the ambition of the popes, for
the civil powers were not prepared to sur
render all, they demanded that the popes
submit their elections for the approval
of the civil authorities of Christendom.
Martin |, being a heretic-an avowed un-
believer though pope, was seized and
carried off 10 Constantinople where he died
from abuse. The mild treatment of the
Britions, the result of fear won them over
to Rome. Image worship becoming general,
Gregory refused to obey, and his people
rose in arms TO sustain him. Here the
governor of Italy attempted to use force
ON the pope, whose supporters again came
to his defense. The Lombards took sides
with the civil authorities and threatened
to confscate the church lands; but the
governor being too weak to render assist

All was confusion, Gregory III, then head
Of the church, appealed to the Catholic
Franks under Pepin, who sent an army
across the Alps defea ed the Lombards
and restored the popes civil power over
all Italy For this favor, the pope crowned
Pepin king of the Franks, and Patrician
of the Romans. Pepins son, Charlemagne

GALVESTON. Tex, March 2S.-One OF
the best free advertisements that ever
befeIl a F., y was Galveston's lot when
the Washington baseball team selected
II last season as a training ground. and
signed a contract TO do its spring work
there in 1907. 1905. and 1909. with a pros
pect Of renewing the deal for a stilI
longer period
Captain Arson. Of the Chicago club,
had used Galveston IN a similar manner
for two seasons some years prior TO the
devastating hurricane OF September S.
1900. that practically wiped the city on
the map. After the disaster the city
was so busiIy occupied with its own
troubles and business affairs, and the
horror of the appalling effects Of the
storms fury was so fully spread
abroad, that throughout the North and
East Galveston was never associated
with any form of sport or amusement
The arrival Of the washington club
last year marked a significant turning
point in the country's feeling toward the
city. and, incidentally. a change in the
attitude of the citizens toward them
selves. It meant that Galveston was
no longer considered the permanent
abode Of imminent and complete de-
struction, but had come to be regarded
by the country at large as once more a
safe city, whose arduOus task Of dissi-
patiug popular fears and mistaken i'm
pressions had been completed. and
which. in the future. could turn its en-
tire attention 10 setting forth its at
fractions and advantages without hav-
ing first to prepare a groundwork Of
cor dence.
Needed Inspiration
Texas had known as far as human
knowledge could go in the workings Of
Providence that Galveston was safe
after the seawaH was completed. but
other States and Territories We're natur-
ally not so optimistic. Nothing could have
done so much TO spread the Texas view
OF the city's permanency as the calm
confidence with which the hard-headed
men engaged in the baseball business
in the North agreed TO make that their
spring headquarters for a term of years.
The letting Of contracts for the invest
ment of millions of dollars Of capital
in Galveston would have created com
ment in a wide but limited circle and
would speedily have been forgotten by

The generous hospitality Of the Gal

typical of Texas and WIFI ever remain

of us who were here last year and this,
