...making of a one hundred per cent American citizen. This is forcibly brought to mind by a shocking oversight among the authorities. Good citizenship and loyalty are inextricably woven into one another, forming that solid and enduring core in every American's heart that makes him spontaneously whip off his hat when Old Glory comes marching down the street fluttering its red and white stripes to the bounding breeze. What a thrill the sight of Our Flag sends coursing through the red blood of every true citizen. "Hats off! The flag is going by." This is the sentiment...

An inevitably charming and good-natured outlaw, he cracks his long whip, shoots, stabs as if he were playing the role of a contemporary gangster instead of Joaquin Murrietta whose career was a trail of blood, bullets, alcohol and love for a pure sweet girl through the days of '49. There is no need to fear that Jake Hamby and his gang will be spry enough to catch and hang so gallant a jack, although they make violent efforts...
