Washington State Voters Hit
Power Propaganda In
Public Schools

TvHE overwhelming defeat in the recent Republican
primaries Of Mrs Josephine Coriss Preston for sixteen
years superintendent public instruction Of the State Of
Washington significant lesson for the guidance Of public
school officials and teachers generally and aso those who
would use the schools for propaganda
The verdict against this welnown educator was based
upon widespread belief that she had been used to plant
power-trust arguments in schools Of her State.
Although Mrs Preston denied the charge which made
wire to the Federal Trade Commission by Homer Bone
public ownership of Seattle political analysts say
that the $4,000 majority against herwith every other
Republican State official winning rencmnaticn-can be
attributed to no other cause
The facts in the are these:
About year ago. Mrs Glare Ketchum Trip prepared
number of booklets dealing with various industrial plants
their financial seup methods Of operation etc. and with
cooperation, had them introduced into the
vocational education classes Of county schools IN the state
These generally were subject to criticism il is said
but dealing with the Puget Sound Power and
Company which contained arguments on the question Of
private versus public ownership Of utilities
This found by friends Of the municipality owned electric
highly successful and under constant attack By private
interests, to be decidedly Objectionable.
Investigation power company booklet last April
brought an admission from Mrs. Trip that Mrs Preston had
been paid $780, with $50 still due for services in editing
some Of pamphlets although was not disclosed which
this situation and should be especially interesting chapter
in the story powrus propaganda vocational education
in the county schools of Washington State receives Federal
aid under the Smith. Hughes law Of 1917
The defeat Mrs Preston, after long service as state
sunentendent establishes in terms that all should read
including companies in the trust well teachers
that even the suspicion that the schools being used Tor
propaganda brings drastic remedy from the people who
support those schools

LISTEN, WORLD!
A "Mama's Girp'
By Elsie Robinson

} I BELIEVE 1T WOULD KILL
HER IF TRIED TO RISE
ABOVE THINGS FOR SHE
WOULD LOSE HER HOLD ON
Me THEN.
My father died when was II.
Different friends offered to get me
work. When / heard them talk
ing to mother / would always
hide because had grown so afraid
of life and / could not bear to
give up the easy times.
MOTHER SEEMED TO THINK
THAT IF SHE SHIELDED ME-
UNTIL WAS 20 THAT
WOULD THEN BE ABLE TO
GO OUT AND FACE THE
WORLD. INSTEAD / HAD BE.
COME A MENTAL AND PHYSI-
CAL COWARD AT 20 BECAUSE
OF HER CODDLING.
Sometimes friends you'd ask il
ever intended to marry. Mother
never game me time to answer,
but would say that had plenty OF
time to decide after l was 20. She
always delighted in telling what a
"mama's girP' l was and doubted
il would ever be able to leave
her.
The greatest disappointment of
all to me was my failure to do my
part in the war. Mother took a
very active part, but she was
never willing to for me to visit
anv of the hospitals, for she was
afraid couldn't stand the suffer
ing. So again / stood back.
Rut I did break free at last--in
terrible way. / resolved to do
everything l had been shielded
from, And, as a consequence, l
have made a mess of everything,
for I cannot be strong. l can
on1v be cowardly and sneaky. To-
dav have no morals, no self
respect, no ambition, no religion.
I have tried to hold seven differ
emf Jobs, but / have been fired
to living with relations, with whom
I quarrel necessarily. l am filled
with hate, resentment and a terri
HE sense of failure. have
thought many times of suicide and
tried to run away once. This is
what my mothers sheltering love
has done to me. l know that
manv will blame me and say that
am unworthy of her. But do
you think it is my fault, Elsie
Robinson?
LAURA W.
do not, my dear. I think your
mother poisoned you for her own
selfish ends as surely as though
she had fed you arsenic. Perhaps
now that you have freed your
heart you'll be able to take
fresh grip-I hope so. And 1 also
hone that your letter incites other
"nama's girls to red-handed re-
helIion. A ladv cannibal has moth
ing on a mama who eats her
youth alive as yours has done.
The Washington times., 1928-10-01

GGTSN'T that a lovely sight?
i They're just like two sis
ters." You've heard them say
that as some mother and grown
daughter passed down the street
together.
"It's so wonderful to see a
mother like that nowadays"
they've gargled. why, she's
never had an interest outide that
girl-and now they're simply in.
separable."
A delightful picture. You are
almost moved to reverent tears
at the thought of such devotion.
But wait a minute
Is 1t. after all. such a lovely
sight?
Or is such a relationship, in
reality. a dreadful and omlnous
sight?
IS A MOTHER WHO HAS
NEVER HAD AN INTEREST
OUTSIDE HER CHILD A GOOD
MOTHER?
IS A DAUGHTER WHO CAN'T
BE SEPARATED FROM HER
MOT HER LEADING A
HEALTHY NORMAL LIFE?
Or is there something terribly
wrong with this picture?
Here today is the inside story
of such a relationship, written by
the daughter. 1t will tell you,
more vividly than words Of mine
COT / d ever do, what such
Smother love" does to a life.
Dear Elsie Robinson:
After you read this letter
wish you would tell me whether
1 am entirely to blame for my
failure in life. am the daughter
or an 'over-indulgent mother who
thinks l should leave nv whole
life to her care. I am 80 years
OLD now and she still speaks OF
me her baby girl" which irri.
tates me intensely.
When | was growing up she
would let me lie in bed until 10
