My purpose in rising was to say a few words in behalf of Mr. Caminetti. Commissioner of Immigration. the heartbroken father. the man referred to in the remarks of the gentleman from Illinois. and if I did not do so I would not consider myself worthy to enter these doors. but in doing so I fully realize no words of mine can place Caminettis name higher than he has placed it during his long. conspicuous. and useful public career. I am glad the honor of a good man does not depend upon words of praise. and I am equally pleased to know that malicious and explosive words hurled at the head of a good man have no more effect upon his name than the bellowing of an angry bull has upon the mountains of the moon. Anthony Caminetti is my friend. and a man who will sit idly by and hear the name of his friend reviled is not worthy to have a friend.
