Alton, nl.---Seventy-five years age
there occurred In this city an event
which, with the single exception OF
the John Brown raid. was probably
the most sensational feature OF the
long struggling over the slavery ques

This was the mobbing and destruction
Of an anti-slavery paper and the muir
der of its editor, Elijah P. Lovejoy
Although it occurred twenty-five years
before the war, 1t contributed in 9
marked degree to that elimination.
Elijah P. Lovejoy was of an ardent
ly pious nature, and his advocacy oil
the cause for which he persisted tool
the form of extremely violent attacks
on the institution of slavery, and al
who directly or indirectly helped te
favor and perpetuate it.
In 1926 Loveioy, then a young mar
OF twenty-four, came from his home in
Maine to st. Louis. where he establish
ed school and became an industrious
contributor to the press Several
years later he took an active interest
n politics and became the editor Of
political newspaper which advocated
the election of Henry Clay for the
presidency. u..........a. ..,

and influence of a political leader, but

become so violent in his agitation thai
letter was sent to him signed BY
some of the most respected citizens Of
St. Louis which requested him to mod

Lovejoy replied to this letter in 9
statement in his paper which did moi
tend to conciliate his opponents. Aft
err this he was threatened with vic
lence SO determinedly that he decid

The citizens of Alton threatened
him without result, and then mobs de
