Just Sitting Tight" and Waiting for

The Bartenders of Lincoln are not
saying a word, and to all appearances
are not worrying themselves over the
future. They are philosophical lot:
state convention of Bartenders'
Unions was held at Springfield, ILL.,,
last week., with some fifty delegates
in attendance. Alton was selected as
the place for the next meeting, which
will convene on December 2.
The effort to make it appear that
the saloon men and the bartenders
are organizing to make a fight
against prohibition is dismas failure.
They are doing nothing of the kind.
I'VE are perfectly willing to let the
voters decide the question: said a
