William Jesse McDonald, known as Captain Bill McDonald (1852– 1918), was a Texas Ranger who served briefly as a bodyguard for both U.S. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, opponents, along with incumbent President William Howard Taft, in the bitter 1912 United States presidential election.
Captain BILL is an excellent man, and one of the most unobtrusive people ever. The point about him is that he is efficient. and, like other efficient men, he works with the minimum of noise and display. Captain BlLL’s remarkable qualities are all qualities of the spirit. He has no show-bill clothes, no display-head sombrero (Rhode Island size), no monumental legs. Captain BILL is a discreet, efficient instrument of justice. His line is not clothes, but character. His specialty is order. Think of the debt this country has incurred within five years to its discreet instruments of justice. It is a mighty high calling in these days to be a discreet and efficient instrument of justice. But Texas, they say, is pretty well cleaned up.
