Let me illustrate how the Scotchman reads prin- ciple into everything and in everything acts on principle. Probably you have heard of the old saying that " a Scotchman never shuts the door after him. " That was true in olden times. He knows that a door will shut ; he knows what the latch is for ; he knows what good breeding is ; he knows that other people shut the door after them. He is not acting from ignorance ; he leaves the door open on prin- ciple. He has argued the whole question out to h...is own satisfaction, and logically he feels that he could not conscientiously shut the door. If you wish you may shut it ; he will not criticize you ; that is a matter for your own conscience ; but he cannot. Raillery cannot compel him, neither can force. He has argued the question out. He has canvassed the arguments in favor of shutting and the arguments in favor of- leaving the door open, 162 MAKERS OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC. and he has balanced the two, and the balance Is on the side of not shutting, and that makes it a principle with him.
