The appointment of Zechariah Chafee of the Harvard Law School and of Walter H. Pollak of the New York Bar to assist President Hoover's Law Enforcement Commission by a study of official lawlessness is the most important and encouraging step yet taken by the commission. Lawless, too, are officials like the Mayor of WilkesBarre in ruling that no public meeting can be held in that city without the sanction of the American Legion; the chiefs of police of Philadelphia, Newark, Boston, and innumerable other cities, who have set themselves above the Constitution of the United States in order to forbid meetings of those whom they do not like.
