The Symphony is a happy one, is the expression of the emotions of a man who is "at peace with himself and the world, happy in his art and not yet stirred to his very soul by the sorrows of life."

The drink habit is the enemy, and it is the business of legislation to pick out suitable weapons, and means of attack, and then to employ them.
