A wise rule of life Is to get all the good, aye, and all the happiness, we can out of life as it passes. Take the days as they come, and get as much out of them as we can. The happier men are the bet ter God is pleased. And happiness arises chiefly by catching it's opportunities ideal as they arise, not by forming ideal, con- titions under which alone we fancy we can be happy.
 Make the best of everything.
 Think the best of every body,

caucus, where the political parties, at the

city and town officers, are electing their party
nominees for the September ballot, marking
to the right instead of at the top, republican,
using only their own ballots, and democrats
and socialists theirs. Voting, Of course, Is

Correspondence.
Voting at Primaries.
AUGUSTA, Me, May 3, 1912.

To the Editor Of The American:
In speaking upon the direct primary
law throughout the state, have been
asked so many questions that am con-
strained to believe l might help voters, in
both political parties, by giving to the
newspapers of the State the answers to
the many questions that seem to be
trou bling and puzzling voters now called
upon to use this new law for the first time.
1. Voters must have their names on the
checklists. Thelists are added to or changed
In the same manner rs at the September cleo
ton.
q. In towns of less than 1900 inhabitants.
nothing is necessary except to have your
name on the checklist.
8. In cities and towns Of 1000 inhabitants
or more, in addition to having ones name on
the checklist, the voter must be enrolled. A
few cities have special enrolment laws. I
omit them. The general enrolment laws are
found In revised statutes, chapter 8, sections
l0z and io3.
4. The old enrollments now in the posses
sion Of the city and town clerks stand good,
subject to legal changes. They are the basis
s. No man can safely change his enroll
ment since December II, 1911. The statute
saws: "a new enrolment may be made at
any time, but the person making such new
enrolment shall not vote in any political
caucus Tor primary within six months there
after IL he designates q different political
party from that named by him in the proceed
ing enrolment" Any man enrolled as re-
publican on December II, 1911, can now en-
roll as democrat. or vice versa, but IL he
does, he loses his right to vote in the primary
on June II. I made q mistake in publicly
answering this question at Ellsworth. My
memory Of the statute was wrong. Your
right to receive a republican or democratic
ballot will be determined by the enrolment
lists as they stood on December II, 1911, IL you
were then enrolled.
Q. II not enrolled at all, you can now enroll
by signing a blank form and sending it to the
town or city clerk, or giving it the town or
city committee to send in to the clerk for you.
I apprehend that the committees everywhere
are having these blanks printed under K. s.,
chapter 8, section io2, and circulating them
among voters to save them trouble.
7. You can also enroll on the day of the
primary election by then signing an affidavit
before ballot clerk, who will have plenty oil
blanks. You will have to swear that you have
not taken part in any caucus since December
