Terrell's Speech.
Waco Day,


Judge Terrell's speech before the
literary societies of the University of
Missouri is devoted to the considera.
ton of corporations as the enemy of
civil liberty and labor. Its echoes
reach the ears of the horny-handed
granger and the toiling workinpman
through the columns of the Texas news.
papers, which Is strongly suggestive
that the speech was made chiefly for
home consumption-the trick of q
politician to catch public sympathy
by pandering to the communistic
spirit which has already taken too
strong hold on the people. That
corporations have their abuses,
no one questions; but they have alao
developed the greatness ofthis country
by building. railroads, factories and
other works of public utility.
The worst feature OF the corporate
monopoly Is Its acquisition of
immense bodies OF land, which the
Theory OF our government ought to
have reserved as homes for the people.
This Is espe cially true in Texas, where
the laws have been especially devised
In the Interest OF corporations Judge
Terrell has been in public life here
for many years. During all that time,
corporations have been gradually but
surely absorbing the domain which
ought to have provided homes for
thousands OF landless people-snd
what has he done to check the wrong?
The day does not remember to have
heard his voice ringing out In behalf
OF the people and against the monopo-
ly which has deprived them of homes.
A year or two ago, however, he tried
to force upon the state a still greater
wrong-the herd law. The statutes
withheld homes, and Judge Terrell
proposes to withhold air and sky,
water and grass-to create an exclu-
sive right on the part of these same
to utterly drive poor men
out OF Texas or force them into abiect
on the very class against
whom he now inveighs IA the enemy
Of liberty and labor.
