But I hold in superlative contempt the coward. who seeks to elevate himself upon the misfortunes of others. drawing his ample folds about him with saintly grace and sanctimonious hypocrisy and cries. "Lord. I thank Thee that I am not as other. men." It is almost inconceivable that men could be found upon this floor who are so petty as to seek to make political capital for themselves out of the misfortunes and sorrows of an old and honorable man. It is manifestly unfair that tfe Commissioner of Immigration should be held responsible for the conduct of his wayward son. Neither should he be criticized for wanting to attend his trial. If any gentleman on that side of this House. or anywhere else in this broad world. says that he would do otherwise himself under similar conditions.
