Governor Vega is reported to have lost his job as governor of Lower California. If this report be true, which all lovers of justice will hope that it is not it will be another evi- dence of the injustice of republics, that is if Mexico can be called re public in anything but name Cover nor Vega is personally known to many Arizonans as a brave and cour. teous gentleman. That he attempted an impossibility and failed is noth- ing more than was to be expected of any brave man. His little army of half starved, barefooted convicts were not the men to compete with a well armed superior force intreRched in rife pits on elevated ground. Ills judgment may have been at fault in attempting rha impossible. but for all that. Americans now know that he would have heen eashiered had he not done so. The fact that he led his men and suffered Sith them should have earned him the commen dations of the government he so brayely offered his life to sustain. His wounds in the face, neck ard side showed Jim to have been in the fore front of the battle. and that he escaped with his life was due to the weakness of his men who re. fused to again be le6 to the assault. In his humiliation Governor Vega Nill have the sympathy of all fair minded men.

CONSTITUTION RATIFIED BY 4 LIGHT VOTE.

While no one doubts that ma icrity of the voters of Arizona woule eave voted for the ratification of ths constitution at the election held last month for that purpose still the ;act remains that the vote received y it was much less than majority of the Arizona electorate.
 At the last generali election in 1908 there were more than s7 .Ooo voters registered in the territory; the actual vote cast that year was .27.e7e. The yes" vote on the con sHtution was only 12.1s7. The vote against the constitution was 3s22. While the constitution was ratified by 76.I2 per cent. of the vote cast there were 21,O76 of the registered vote in 1908 that was not cast at all. The constitution received less than g per cent. of the registered vote and about 45 per cent. of the vote cast in 1908. and thus it is seen that all the shouting for the prog -ossive features in the constitution I-iled to attaet more than one-third of the voters of the territory suf acientIy to secure their votes for ,he document
 In Cochise county the favoring vote on the constitution was 214s. Tho total registered vote in 1908 in this coutny was more than 1000.
 These figures are given not be cause they can in any way efec

Two points of interest to motor ists were decided recently in an opinion handed down by the Kan sas court Of appeals: To begin with. the court held that an automobile is not of itself dan gerous appliance on the roads. Again. it wsB decided that owners, when not operating the car, are not re sDonsfble for joy riding accidents.
 On the latter point the court says:
 The owner of the car who was not present at the inflietion of the in jury cannot be held liable except it be shown that the person in charge not only was the agent but engaged lat the time in the business of his service"

 With this view the court of aD9 peals differed holding that the motor car is a lawful vehicle and emitted to the same right 0 fthe road as ans other vehicle Also it holds that when using ordinary caution. mo torist is not responsible if horses shy. The case was reversed and remanded for a new trial.
