Suffragettes of Pennsylvania today began a lour weeks campaign to force candidates for nomination to is the only country In the world to-! who day which has retained and still (dings to this ancient form of execut ing the death sentence of the law. Even Russia, so often characterized as benighted, has adopted hanging. Franco, often termed the most en lightened nation, also still clings to Its traditionally gruesome behead ings In preference to the less spec tacuhir and more refined form of hanging, adopted by the greater por tion of the civilized world, and to electrocution In vogue in the United States. Hut Franco makes some claim for refinement In the trageil of a human Hie by the fact that it executes the law's sentence with a machine, ihe mechanical guillotine, by human agency.

In Germany society still rids Itself I of undesirables by Ihe simple tho' i primitive operation of severing tile head from the body with an uxe ! swung by brawny nrins, just as was done in England In the days of Mary, IJueen of Scots, Queen Elizabeth and Henry VIII, The human butcher! block has long I i nliolisiied I England. In Germany the Idea has I n anil still is to u great extent that In order to muse human execu tion a check upon crime mid to prove a deterrent to murder, it should be w il h as much horror as possible. Advocates claim that the I glistening axe and the hlarUrohod I block are a greater symbol of thai tenor of the final act of the law, than the hangman's noose. In Germany the law provides Ihat the sentence of death must be exe cuted through decapitation or be heading. It leaves lo the different slates I lie choice between the guillo tine and ihe headsman Willi his axe mid block. Many of the Gorman stales have selected tile guillotine as j less brutalizing and the lesser of two j evils. The axe and block have play i ed no such part In German history I thai I hey have In England. Perhaps j therein Hi's one of the reasons that there has not I u KipuIar revulsion I against their use. For centuries bc ; heading by an axe In the hands of ! the "public executioner." has been j the lei:al means of pulling oon t denined humans lo death in Geriu ; any. Yet today It Is sale to say thut not one person in i u ent -ti e. could gio the name of the public execu tioner. The same could hardly be ! said in France where "lleihier" is a mi t on n 1 character. Prussians of the aggressive ruth less type who made Prussia the main factor In the empire, oppose the uhol Isli'neut of ancient forms of Prussia executions. They claim that the Gorman uxe and bioi-k method is no more inhuman 'than the forms or ex ecutions in other countries. it is contended by some that the axe Is more Immune than the rope, in Her man beheadings, the condemned man has little opportunity to see any thing of Ills executioner of his exe cutioner or of the means employed. In llerlln the executions take place in tlle courtyard of the Plovtensee penitentiary. A large flat flagstone on which Ihe headsman stands in order to have a firm rooting marks the spot. When Hie hour arrives, warders en ter the cell of the condemned man and quickly cut away the collar of his shirt in order to leave tlie neck bear. He Is led outside. As he en ters the court yard through a small door he is quickly wheeled about so that his back Is toward the fatal lt and he races two officials who read to him that the sentence ot the law Is about to he executed. He Is selcd by two strong ward ers who hair carry, hair drag him Imrkwnrds to the block.
