Jesse Smith is gone—Jesse of presi- dential travels and recreation, a man | of status unlike that of any one else in this or any other administration. a| man of such unbounded personal de- | votion to Attorney General Harry! Daugherty that no one can under- | stand why he should have given the Attorney General the shock of sui- cide. Jesse Smith was a curious person- ality. He held no office on the pay roll of the government, yet he had a desk in the Department of Justice on; the same floor with the Attorney Ger eral. Everywhere Mr. Daugherty ; went Jesse was sure to go. He loved politics. He listened eagerly to the gossip of newspaper men and politi- clans and reported to his friend. the Attorney General. He was constantly talking of Mr. Daugherty, constantly | extolling him to the skies. There are| many men who go about Washington ; boosting the stock of high officials’ with the idea of political or social reward. Not so with Jesse Smith. He sought nothing. i He wanted only that the whole! world should believe Harry Daugh-1| erty the greatest master mind of | present-day politics and a statesman. | Anything that gave offense to th happy. He would frequently go back to the authors of the articles and at- | tempt to show them the error of their | ways. He was a self-constituted pro- tector of his friend. one day to this ci Frespondent on l.hPI recent presidential trip to Florida. “Harry Daugherty and I have grown up together from bovhood.

But Jesse didn’t seem to be uble to grasp the possibility. All Washington Wonders. In the last three days he was pre- occupled. Even though he made his will on Monday and bequeathed most of his property to Attorney General Daugherty, he did not give any one a hint of his purpose, if, indeed. he had one even so late three days ago. He played golf on Tuesday with Commander Boone and the At- torney General. He played listlessly. When the game was over, he com- plained of being tired, but made an engagement to play golf on Memo- rial day, but he shot himself early the same morning. No one ever knew Jesse to possess firearms, nor were there any about the Attorney Gen- eral’s apartments. Few people ever knew what Jesse Smith did in Wash- ington. He came more or less mys- teriously. He played his part solely as the friend and protector of the man he worshipped. The Attorney General is a sick ‘man. Jesse Smith helped nurse him day and night. Now he leaves his best friend without a word of warning, and leaves all Washington wondering what prompts ed the tragic end. (Copyright, 1923.) VISITING RABBI SPEAKER.
