Why Do Men Kill ?.
?
When a shrewd but genial editor called me up on the telephone and asked me how I should like to write an article on the above lurid title, I laughed in his--I mean the telephone's face.
"My dear fellow!" I said (I should only have the nerve to call him that over a wire).

"It would ruin me! How could I keep my self-respect and write that kind of sensational stuff--Why do men kill?
Why do men eat?
Why do men drink?
Why do men love?
Why do men--" "Look here!" he interrupted.

"I want to know why one man kills another man.

If we knew why, maybe we could stop it, couldn't we?
We could try to, anyhow.
