prefixing a mans profession or oceu-
nation to mis- name. Lawyer Smith,"

Congressman Long on the National Con-
grsssiOnaI Commits for n Purpose.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. = The place
which Congressman Long of the Seventh
Kansas district now holds as member of
the Republican national congressional
committee is the position which has been
held by Congressman Curtis.
The Kansas delegation proposed to re-
commend the continuance of Mr.. Curtis
in this place to the Republican caucus.
But MIR. Curtis did not wish to be on the
committee Ion ger, and suggested that the
delegation name some other member for
the place, and accordingly Mr.. Long was
recommended.
The place on the congressional COM
mittee is of value particularly to mem
bers who have close districts in which
they may need some help. OF course
the representative on the congressional
committee from a state will present the
claims for assistance of any member in
it, but if the representative who has
close district is himself the COM
mitteeman he can present his claims
himself with better results.
Tho business of the congressional
committee is to render legitimate assist
ance to members of congress in their
campaigns by sending out literature and
in some cases speakers. The members
of the committee bring attention to the
districts in which help is needed and it
is furnished.
The committee is not of much conse-
quence in presidential years. That is
to say, it has not much to do because the
burden of conducting the campaign is
upon the regular national committee. In
"of' years, however. the congressional
committee finds its field of usefulness,
and gives assistance to Republican candi-
dates needing it or asking for ii.
Mr.. Long will, therefore, be the per-
son to whom all Republican congress
sional candidates will have to go who
want the aid of the national committee in
their districts

one of exceptional beauty.
Thousands of glistening mountains, GOV
cred with eternal snow, magnificent water
falls, one of which, the Gullfoss, is second
only in beauty to mighty Niagara; streams
as clear as crystal, and dashing, roaring
rivers. lava beds, with fantastic figures,
covered with shimmering moss-these and
many others are the natural features that
they rave over.
One other great charm Of the island
should be mentioned. This is the extraor-

that the human eye can clearly see objects
no less than so miles distant
