JEFFRlES-J0HhS0N
FILMS ARE FAILURE

Although the moving pictures OF
the Jeffries-Johnson fight have been
displayed in various parts of the
United States, Canada, England and
Australia for more than four months
it is said that the gross receipts so
far have been rather disappointing.
The syndicate which bought up the
interests owned by the pugilists and
by Richard and Gleason paid nearly
100000 for exclusive rights, so
that in theflong run 1t is believed
the pictures will not yield the huge
profits that at first was looked for.
Richard and Gleason each retain
one-twelfth Of the pictures and so
far each has received $4,000, 1t is
said, although Richard was reported
some time ago to have purchased
half of Gleason's interests. Jeffries
and Johnson therefore were wise
when they sold their interests to the
syndicate for spot cash which reach
ed a total of nearly 100000.
The rigorous crusade against the
pictures WHICH began Immediately
after the fight undoubtedly caused a
heavy loss. 1t was impossible to
O1OW LnO uAIio LII many AdI sc CLUES,
while the fact that Johnson won
kept them almost entirely away from
the Southern States. The downfall
of Jeffries, too, served as a damper
in other parts Of this country, for it
is said that the pictures did not be-
gin to draw the money that was ex-
pected by the promoters. Including
cash paid for fighters and promot-
ers' shares, the cost of taking the
pictures, transportation, shipments
to foreign countries and other ex-
penses, 1t is figured that IN spite of
money received from various theatri-
cal syndicates the proprietors of the
films are disappointed with the gen-
eral result. If Jeffries had won,
however, there would have been a
different story to tell. it Is be-

present were inclined to believe him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Tilton, of
Jersey City, were guests of the club
but were a little bashful about maxi

night at the alleys with the club, and
they didn't want to carry off high

TINES DEMOCRATS PUBLISHER DEAD.

Page NJ. Baker, for the last twenty
one wears publisher of the New Orlean
Times-Democrat, died at his home in
New Orleans at late hour Saturday
evening.
Mr.. Baker had suffered from a COM
plicated disease for several years, but
his illness did not force him to release
the active management of the Times
Democrat until three months ago.
Mr.. Baker was born at Pensacola,
Fla. in 1910. He came to New Orleans
hen a young man and enlisted in the
Confederate army in this city. He
served with the Washington Artillery
at Antietam and in several battles in
Virginia. Later he was transferred to
the Confederate navy and served as
midshipman until the close of the war.
He was identified as reporter and in
various editorial capacities with the
Picayune, Delta, Bulletin and other
newspapers in New Orleans. In 1889 he
became the publisher of the Times
Democrat. He is survived by his widow,
one daughter. and a brother, Major
Henry H. Baker, all of whom reside in
New Orleans.
The death of Mr.. Baker removes a
most conspicuous and successful figure
in Southern journalism. and his death
is generally deplored. 1t was due to
Mr.. Bakers fine sense Of discrimination
and lofty standard he had set in all de-
partmcnts of his great public institu-
ton, the newspaper, that the Times
Democrat rapidly grew to the vast pro-
portion of success that has distinctly
marked it.

BETTER BUSINESS ERA
BY D. B. BELL.

Mississippi merchants never had bet
ter opportunities than now, and never
before have they shown themselves so
much alive to their advantages.
Even though a realization of the ne
cessity for action on their part has been
required to bring about this condition
of affairs among some of them, it is un-
questionably here.
And perhaps the most hopeful sign of
all is that what had threatened to usurp
the very life of the mercantile business,
especially in rural communities and
smaller towns, has been SO checked that
there seems to be no real reason to fear
further serious competition from that
source - the mail order and catalogue
houses.
This has Deen brought about chiefly
through the cooperation of the local
press in every town and community,
each making a strenuous fight for his
home merchants, pointing out the illu-
sions, the fact that freights eat up more
than the saving in the initial price to
those who buy from catalogue houses,
and the waking up Of the merchants
themselves.
When properly told, it has not been
difficult for the average citizen to under
stand that somebody pays the freight,
and that it isn't the catalogue house.
This has resulted in more liberal ad-
vertising on the part of the general
merchant and more intelligent use Of
advertising opportunities everywhere.
Best of all, it has educated the public
to more systematic and regular study
of advertising in their local papers, with
tn e result that they are able to keeI
themselves posted on the value OF mer'
chandise, and often to practice the mos
| intelligent forms of economy.
This has been of little service to tht
dead ones, either in business or out o
it. There are almost no snaps left, ant
| only few successes are now possible
by reason of a pull. Fewer still sue
eed by dishonest methods.
All this argues well for the increase'
supply and increased utilization of hon
esty, energy, system and perseverance
in business, without a liberal supply o
each of which only a few men hay
made good during the past decade.
