Grand Jury and Nesbit Law.

The St. Louis October grand jury
adjourned a few days ago, after re-
turning a number of indictments for
fraud at the recent election. In its
final report the jury says:
A great deal has been said about the
Nesblt law and many wholesale objections
nave been made to it without specifically
pointing out it's defects. From our inves-
tlgation, we have concluded that this law
should be amended, especially regarding
the central registration feature at the city
hall. Nearly all of the illegal registration
Ia done at the city hall, where the parties
registering can not be known or detected,
% they could be were precinct registra-
ton alone permitted. We think the city
hall registration should be abolished and
precinct registration alone required, and
the statute should provide that the reg
istration books close at least thirty days
before the election. and printed lists of
registered voters be posted In each pre-
cinct at least twenty days before the
election, thereby giving ar opportunity
Of finding out false and padded registra-
ton. This might prevent some tardy citi-
Gems from registering, but this objection
Is overcome by the benefit resulting from
the facility thus aIlorded for detecting
illegal registration. The circuit judges
should be made the arbitrators Of the
registration lists, SO that any illegal reg
lstration might be reported to that tri-
bunal and stricken from the list.
