Mr.. Long Not a Bolter.

Breckinridge Long refuses to join or
encourage the anti-Reed movement.
He challenged Mr.. Reed to "show''
him. Mr.. Reed showed him, and he
is through. A creditable position for a
Missourian to take.
This was Mr.. Longs second attempt
on the Senate. He ran two years ago
against Mr.. Spencer, and was lost in
the notable shuttle which transferred
Missouri to the republican column by
over hundred thousand plurality.
He may try again. He is young for
politics, Of Independent means, and
has developed a taste for office. His
service in the State Department gave
him an insight into official life in
Washington. and evidently he likes it..
1t is attractive for a man in his cir.
cumstances.
If Mr.. Long has further plans his
present course should help him. The
public cottons to a good loser-to a
man who after doing his best without
success accepts the result and goes
about his business.
In both of his races Mr.. Long la
bored under the designation of being
"Wilson's man." A candidate for so
exalted a place as a seat in the Senate
should be his own man, and recog-
nized as such. By the time Mr.. Long
offers again Mr.. Wilson will probably
have ceased to interest himself in
political candidates, and so he can try
his fortunes with the Missouri cleo
torate as an individual in his own
right, standing for policies and not
merely against an Individual.
