Faced Difficulties.

The fact that Mr. Leech had been in
the Government Printing Office before
that he had charge OF the Philippine
shop for seven years, and that he was
backed by Mr.. Taft, all tended to show
that he would be able to fiji the bill,
which so many Presidents have tried
10 have filled with little success.
Mr., LeeCh. his friends say has all
along had to contend with the unfrieud-
illness OF some men who were employed
under Stlllings, as heads of grand di-
Visions who were reported by Mr..
ROssiteT a g drawing unnecessarily large
salaries. but who felt that they should
be kept in Office.
When Mr.. Leech let out" several Of
these men il Occasioned some comment,
and as many of them had friends with
influence, the path OF the Public Printer
wasn't an easy one.
Manning Fight.
His most bitter struggle so lar as
Known was over the removal OF SAM
tary Officer Manning. NJ, Leech re-
duced DR. Manning from. his position In
charge of the sanitary Office 10 the
case" at a salary of 81 a day.
After some skirmishing by Manning g
friends, President Roosevelt ordered the
Public Printer to restore him 10 office
at a salary OF $500 year.
Mr.. LeeCl. sought further 20 have the
office abolished, by raising a question
of the legality of maintaining 10 with
I the printing Office appropriations. The
Comptroller of the Treasury decided
that IL was in the power Of the Public
/ Printer 20 decide the question. but Mr..
LeeCh has not abolished the office.
